The U.S Department of Agriculture reports that the average cost of an acre of land is $3,800. Assuming you don't already own land to build your barndominium, you'll need to budget between $7,600 and $11,400 for 2 to 3 acres. Depending on the state of the land, you may encounter additional land costs, like:
You may also need to budget for new road and driveway access.
Floor Plans
When building a barndominium, you can choose from predesigned floor plans for around $1,500 to $2,000 or hire an architect to design a custom floor plan, which can cost up to $4,500.
Predesigned floor plans will likely meet most people’s needs. You can find plans for multiple levels with varying numbers of bedrooms and bathrooms. You can even get plans with special “must-have” features like a fireplace or massive kitchen.
Barndominium Kit
Barndominium kits range from $30,000 to $180,000, depending on the style and square footage. A 2,400-square-foot barndominium kit with a covered porch costs more than a standard 1,200-square-foot kit. Delivery fees range an additional 5% to 10% of the kit price. In general, you should budget between $25 and $50 per square foot for a barndominium kit, also called the shell.
Kits provide the outer shell or framing for the house. They come ready to store vehicles and other equipment or for you to design your own home with a barndominium floor plan. You'll still need to finish the interior, including any plumbing, electrical, appliances, and bedroom walls.
Foundation
Expect to spend between $4,000 and $44,500 on any foundation costs, including excavation. Extra landscaping work to prevent flooding or adding a garage foundation can add to the price.
Permits
Building permits cost anywhere from $1,200 to $2,000 when building a structure as big as a barndominium, but prices will vary based on the requirements in your city or county. A construction permit is nonnegotiable for a project of this size.
Materials
Building materials make up 50% of the total cost for most homes, but for barndominiums, that tends to be less. Steel framing is more affordable than the cost of wood framing, and steel roof panels cost less than shingled roofs.

Shophouses are a great form of real estate investment because it gives investors a choice between residential and commercial use. Based on the Shophouses' colour-coded zoning system, investors can select Shophouses solely for commercial purposes (dark blue) or mixed-use (pink).
Can shophouse be used for residential?
Spread out all over Singapore, shophouses serve as both residential and commercial properties.
Can you live in a shophouse in Singapore?
Today, only some 657 shophouses remain available for residential use, many of which have been exclusively owned by families across generations. As a result, the experience of living in a shophouse is a coveted but often unreachable dream.
Is shophouse under HDB?
These are commercial units built by HDB as part of a neighbourhood estate. Typically, these units have a commercial shopfront, and sometimes residential quarters on the second-floor. These shophouses are managed by HDB and are technically leasehold property.
