A barndominium is a home that looks like a barn. A barndominium kit is a package of materials that contains everything you need to build the framing or shell.

Purchasing a barndominium kit provides a convenient way to build the shell of a new home. Small barndominium kits are suitable for DIY builders with some construction experience, while larger versions may require a contractor.

Most barndominium kits contain lumber or steel for framing, the siding (often sheet metal), the roofing system, the plans, and interior walls. Some kits include all windows and doors. Barndominium kits rarely contain interior finishes.
