Barndominiums

Steel Barndominiums Delivered and Installed Across the USA

A barndominium is a fully enclosed steel shell designed to be finished as a living space, a workspace, or both. You get a structure that handles real weather, meets your county's building codes, and gives you a blank interior canvas to finish however your plans call for.

EMB builds them from 14-gauge certified steel, configures everything to your specs, then delivers and installs on your property.

Every EMB barndominium is framed with 14-gauge steel, heavier than most prefab builders use. Before it ships, it's engineer-certified to your county's wind and snow load requirements. Stamped drawings come included to support your permit application.

You pick the footprint, roof pitch, door and window placement, lean-to configuration, and color. Walk-in doors, roll-up doors, and windows are standard. The rest is built to your order.

Financing is available. (208) 572-1441 to discuss your build.

Built for your property, whatever you're doing with it

Most customers have a clear use in mind: a primary residence on rural land, a farm shop with living quarters, or a commercial workspace they can also sleep in.

All of those work. EMB delivers the steel shell, fully enclosed and engineer-certified. You finish the interior to your specs, whether that's a full living area, a shop floor, or a split between both.

Barndominiums qualify for residential, agricultural, and commercial use. Your local zoning determines what's permitted on your property. Call (208) 572-1441 to talk through your layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a metal barndominium?

A metal barndominium is a fully enclosed steel shell built to be finished as a home, a workspace, or a combination of both. EMB provides the steel structure, engineered to local codes. The interior is left open for you to complete to your specifications. They're used as primary residences, farm homes, shop-and-home combinations, and commercial properties.

How much does a barndominium cost?

Pricing depends on size, configuration, roof style, and options. Call (208) 572-1441 or request a quote and we'll go through pricing based on your specific build.

Are EMB barndominiums engineer-certified?

Yes. Every EMB barndominium is engineer-certified to meet your local wind and snow load requirements. Stamped drawings are included with your order to support the permit application process with your county building department.

Can I use a barndominium as a full-time home?

Yes. EMB provides the steel shell, and many customers finish the interior as a full-time residence. For any occupancy use, the building requires a minimum Risk Category II classification, which mandates stamped engineered drawings and structural calculations. EMB provides both. What's permitted on your property depends on local zoning - check with your county before purchasing.

How long does installation take?

Installation time depends on size and configuration. Most standard barndominiums are installed in a few days once the foundation is ready. Lead times from order to delivery vary by season and demand. Call (208) 572-1441 for current estimates.

Do barndominiums require a building permit?

In most counties, yes. Any permanent structure typically requires a permit. EMB provides engineer-stamped drawings with every order, which most permitting offices require as part of the application. Your local building department sets the specific requirements for your area.

What sizes do EMB barndominiums come in?

EMB barndominiums are available in a range of sizes and can be configured to match your square footage requirements. Whether you need a compact single-story layout or a larger structure with a dedicated shop wing, we build to your specs. Call to discuss what works for your property.

Can I add a lean-to or covered porch?

Yes. Lean-tos can be added on one or both sides of the building. Customers use them for covered parking, equipment storage, or a shaded porch area. It's part of the configuration process when you set up your build.
