Barndominium Builders in Berthoud, CO

Yes. Berthoud is about 24 miles southwest of our base in Ault, in Larimer County, one of the three counties we build in. We build custom barndominiums and shop houses with open floor plans there, and the quote is free.

Usually. When one is needed, we pull it from the Berthoud or Larimer County building department, depending on which side of the town limits the property is on with engineered plans and build to whatever the permit and inspections require.

Mostly the size, how finished you want it and the site. A dried-in shell comes in well below the same barndo finished to move-in ready, and a shop house adds the shop's slab, doors and heat. Grading, access and the snow and wind loads at your property move the number too. Fill out the form or call, and a local builder gets back to you with pricing for your plan.

Yes, when it is engineered for the site. We size the trusses, purlins, girts and bracing for the design snow and wind loads your county sets, which matters on the open plains and even more in the foothills and around Estes Park, where snow runs heavier and downslope winds hit hard. Metal roofs and siding stand up to hail, and heavier-gauge panels are worth talking through. Footings and the slab are designed for the expansive clay common along the Front Range.

Yes. Since it is a home, a barndominium needs a residential building permit and inspections from Larimer, Weld or Adams County, or from the city if the lot is inside town limits. We prepare the engineered plans and file for the permit. Lots in Larimer County's foothills can also fall in the wildfire hazard area, which has its own construction rules, and a metal roof and siding suit it.

Yes, that is a shop house. The shop end gets overhead doors and a slab and ceiling height sized for what you park or work on, and a separating wall keeps it apart from the living space. We plan both sides together so the doors, heat and floor plan fit how you will use them.
