Barndominium

This caused a massive surge in popularity and growing acceptance of the term barndominium to refer to a metal primary residence, not just a home with horse barns.

[7] Indeed, Google Trends data indicates a steady rise in interest in barndominiums, notably boosted by their portrayal on HGTV.

[10] Barndominiums typically have lower overall construction, labor and materials costs compared to traditionally-built modern homes.

[4] States such as West Virginia, Alabama, and Mississippi have the lowest costs of building a barndominium at less than $100 per square foot.

[11] However, the total cost of the barndominium depends heavily on the insulation types which have been governed by the United States Department of Energy (DOE).
