Located on the eastern coast of the United States, Virginia boasts a rich history, diverse landscapes, and a balanced cost of living that appeals to many. From the Blue Ridge Mountains in the west to the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean in the east, Virginia offers a variety of settings perfect for building a barndominium. Its blend of historic charm, natural beauty, and modern amenities attracts countless new residents annually.

For people looking to construct a barndominium or barndo from scratch, Virginia presents an ideal location to establish roots in an area steeped in culture and surrounded by picturesque scenery. Whether your vision includes a contemporary barndominium, a traditional farmhouse-style home, or something uniquely personal, our team at DC Structures is ready to assist in making your dream home a reality in Virginia.

The climate of this state is humid subtropical, with four distinct seasons that bring a variety of weather conditions. Summers can be hot and humid. Meanwhile, winters are mild, with occasional snow and ice. The state also sees significant rainfall with frequent thunderstorms during the warmer months. These climatic factors make it crucial for barndos and barn-style buildings to be constructed with durable, weather-resistant materials to ensure comfort and longevity.

At DC, we specialize in creating barndominiums that withstand diverse weather conditions. We frame our barndominiums with premium kiln-dried lumber sourced from the Pacific Northwest, known for its strength and durability. This high-quality wood provides a solid foundation that endures humid summers, cold winters, and heavy rainfalls. Additionally, our designs incorporate advanced building techniques and materials that offer excellent insulation and protection for your exterior, ensuring your barndominium remains a safe and comfortable home year-round.

Given its susceptibility to severe weather, including hurricanes and storms, Virginia homeowners must consider these factors when planning a barndominium. Our expert team will work with you to select the best materials and designs to meet the specific demands of your climate, giving you peace of mind that your barndominium will remain resilient through any weather challenge.

DC Structures designs and produces high-performance, wood-framed structures for clients across the United States and Canada. We craft our barndominiums with premium wood posts and trusses, resulting in wide-open interiors with customizable floor plans that you can tailor to your needs and style. Our Meridian Barndominium Kit is considered a clear-span structure, with vaulted wood trusses creating an unobstructed interior and a rock-solid foundation for your structure. With a single wall separating the living space and garage, you can build your Meridian barndominium from scratch to achieve your dream layout, size, and design.

If you’re seeking something that captures more of our signature heavy timber style, we offer a line of multi-use barn designs that you can modify and personalize to your taste. Most of our pre-engineered building models are post and beam structures, meaning these stock plans utilize high-grade heavy timbers joined by metal fasteners and connectors to form their structural frame. Additionally, we offer the option of choosing from several other construction methods, including timber framing, hybrid wood construction, and conventional framing, for your building shell.

Our company can ship pre-engineered building packages to any location in Virginia. Here are the most popular areas for building a barndominium within the state:
