What would you do differently?
In other words, write down everything you don’t like about your current home and list everything you think you would do differently. Maybe you live in the neighborhood and really want to live outside the city and own the land. Perhaps you have a small pantry and have always dreamed of a larger walk-in pantry. A larger pantry helps keep all your small appliances in one place. Either way, start by making a list of your wants and needs. Doing so will give you a better idea of what type of home you want to build. Learn how to put your home up for sale by owner.
How will your life change in the next 5-7 years?
I really think so. If you plan to expand your family in the next few years, you may consider building a slightly larger home. There’s nothing worse than spending a lot of money and discovering after a few years that you really need an extra bedroom or bathroom. Home renovations and extensions will cost a lot in the future. So think twice about your future before committing to planning.
What is your property like?
A big mistake many people make is not considering “failures.” A setback may be a neighborhood or city/county restriction that dictates how close a property line can be built. These restrictions may be found in neighboring local agreements and restrictions. These can be obtained from your local building authority that has jurisdiction over your area.
If you live in a county, be aware that there may be a planning and zoning office separate from the city’s zoning office. If you have any questions, please call us. Tell them where your property is located or where you plan to build and ask how you can get a copy of the “rebate” limit. Another land consideration is terrain. Sloping, flat or near wetlands? The type of property you buy will determine the type of foundation you need and help you choose the right home plan. There is no point in considering a plan with a basement if your area is not suitable for underground foundations. Also keep in mind that most existing housing plans can be modified using different foundations.
What kind of lifestyle do you prefer?
This is a big question and I don’t want to compromise anything I can do. Build what you like. We understand that you may have to compromise for less than your dreams. However, do your best to choose one that is as close to your dream home as possible. We also recommend building a slightly smaller house if it helps achieve the style of home you prefer. There is nothing worse than regretting that you should have chosen a different housing plan. So don’t rush and keep looking until you find the perfect plan or decide to create your own custom his plan.
One floor or two house plans?
Many families prefer a quiet one-story Barndominium home because there is no traffic above the second floor. There may be many ranch-style homes in your area, but building a ranch-style home is more expensive than building a two-story home. It’s always cheaper to set up than extend. One-story Barndominium houses have more roofs and foundations, both factors that greatly increase the cost of building. Families with young children usually choose the Barundo house plan, which has a master bedroom on the second floor. This allows children to be close to the children’s room. Either way, the style of home you choose probably dictates whether your home will be a one-story or two-story home.
Is it an open floor plan?
An open barndominium floor plans fewer walls and more open space for the family to enjoy. Many people love the idea of an open floor plan for the kitchen and living room area. This ensures that the person preparing food in the kitchen doesn’t miss the big game or movie everyone is watching in the living room or lounge. Open concept floor plans are very popular these days, and you should be able to find many home plans that fit these criteria.
Consider outdoor living space
Many families love outdoor living spaces. Barnodminium’s floor plans are very popular, some with large hidden doors that lead to patios, increasing the living space. If you love living outdoors, consider how easy it is to transition from indoors to outdoors. In other words, when planning your outdoor kitchen, consider how close this space is to your indoor kitchen. No one dares to cross the other side of the house to get to the grill. The indoor kitchen is close to the outdoor living area, but you can enjoy both spaces so you can stay in touch with your family.
