Frequently Asked Questions

Our barn home kits are primarily built using post and beam construction— a centuries-old building practice that uses metal connectors and fasteners to connect its timber framing members. However, our Stillwater Barn Home Kit uses clear-span construction to create its expansive interior. This method can be applied to your kit if you prefer an interior without exposed wood or obstructions.

Our barn home kits can range between $120,000 and $180,000 in terms of starting price. For turnkey costs, we typically tell clients to multiply the starting price of their kit by 3-5 times for a more accurate look at final numbers, though this can fluctuate based on factors like the level of finishes, customizations, location, and construction costs.

DC Structures does not offer financing. However, our project coordinators, experienced with the financial process, can help you identify the perfect lender and loan for your project.

We do! We offer a 10-year limited warranty on the materials included in our barn home kits, which starts on and after the date of your final payment.

Post and beam construction utilizes metal fasteners and connectors to join its framing members, whereas timber framing uses wooden pegs and grooves to connect its timbers. With either method, however, you can expect beautiful results for your interior and exterior spaces.

We absolutely can! While we do not offer insulation as part of our building packages, we can easily plan your design around your use of these panels.

Definitely! We offer a nationwide building network comprised of vetted contractors across the United States and Canada and would love to help connect you with the right local builder for your project.
