People across the country who have embraced remote work are thinking about moving. Without having to commute to an office, workers are free to live wherever they choose. Some are purchasing plots of land and constructing homes that are designed to suit their family’s specific needs.

Building a luxury home from scratch can be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. A pole barn is a versatile type of structure that can serve a wide range of purposes. A pole barn can even be used as a house and can be customized with luxury features.

Building your dream home from scratch is something many people dream about. It means the opportunity to incorporate all the features you’ve ever wanted in a property. It also means picking and choosing colors and designs you favor. For those embarking on this next step, it’s important to consider all of your options. New home builds can quickly add up. From contracts to permits and material needs, there’s a lot to consider just to get the project off the ground and started.

Even if the cost savings and turnaround time don’t excite you, the very reason that pole barns will be the topic of discussion for passersby and a unique dwelling unlike anything your guests have ever frequented should be enough to make you want to get a pole barn home. Choose to decorate and design it using modern aesthetics, traditional décor, or even a farmhouse vibe. The flexibility is endless!

Reasons to Use a Pole Barn as Your Next Home

A pole barn is easier and faster to build than a traditional house because it doesn’t require a foundation. A pole barn is built with poles that are buried in the ground and walls that are attached to the poles. This means a pole barn can be constructed in a fraction of the time required to build a traditional home. Labor costs for a pole barn are therefore lower.

Less material and less complicated steps also lead to another important benefit of choosing a pole barn home and that is turnaround time. It’s not only far easier to get your project off the ground and actually being built when there’s less red tape, permits, and materials to buy first, but you’re also looking at a quicker move-in day too! And saving time always translates to saving money somewhere.

A Pole Barn Is Customizable

Pole barn homes are easy to customize. A pole barn has an open interior that can be divided into rooms in sizes that suit your family’s needs. The layout can be designed in a way that fits your lifestyle.

The walls can be fitted with windows in locations, sizes, and styles that suit your preferences. The design can take the layout of the land and the position of the sun into consideration to make the house as energy-efficient as possible.

The outside of a pole barn is also customizable. You can choose an exterior material and features that will give your home a luxury appearance that will impress your neighbors and visitors.

Low Construction Costs Can Leave Room in Your Budget

The single biggest reason to switch your build project to a pole barn is cost savings. It is much less expensive to build this way than a traditional stick-built or other construction. There is no digging into the ground to lay the foundation and far fewer materials are needed overall to build a pole barn home so factoring this alone can help you to save significantly on your dream home build.

Building a luxury home is typically a costly project. If you use a pole barn as your house, constructing a luxurious house can be more affordable. Since you will save on the cost of the house itself, you will have money left in your budget for custom features and amenities that you might otherwise be unable to afford.
