757 Building Co. is a local custom home builder in the Hampton Roads and the surrounding rural areas. We have several building plans and models to choose from, and you can certainly modify the plans to suit your style and needs. We also are one of the few builders in Hampton Roads that build Barndominiums.
Since you already own the land, the most crucial decision you will make in this process is choosing your builder.
Finding a builder that fits your needs, style and personality is important. We interview with all our clients, to see if we are a good fit. If you are interested in a consultation with us, fill out the contact form below. And in the meantime here are some important things to note that you can expect after you choose your builder.
Since you already own your land (or if you have land under contract) you will want to find a local lender that specializes in CP Loans (Construction to Permanent Loan)
The CP loan can be Conventional, FHA and VA – rates and fees vary with each loan type – please seek council from a licensed lender.
The CP loan will fund your build as progress is made with an Interest Only Loan, and when your home is completed the loan will transition to a permanent traditional 15-30 year loan.
Barndominiums initially gained traction among those looking for cost-effective ways to combine their living spaces with functional areas for work, hobbies, or storage.
However, the appeal of barndominiums has broadened significantly, attracting a diverse group of people, including families, retirees, and young professionals, all drawn to the unique benefits these structures provide.
Well-insulated barndominiums can offer significant energy savings. The structures are often designed with energy efficiency in mind, featuring options like radiant barrier sheathing, spray foam insulation, and energy-efficient windows that help maintain temperature control, thus reducing heating and cooling costs.
One of the standout features of barndominiums is their versatility. These buildings can easily be designed to serve multiple purposes, from residential and workshop areas combined under one roof, to fully customized living spaces that include home offices, large entertainment areas, or personal gyms. This flexibility makes them particularly appealing in today’s multifunctional world where home isn’t just for living, but also for working and playing.
For many, the aesthetic appeal of barndominiums is a key attraction. Their unique blend of rustic charm and modern design can stand out in a sea of conventional home, providing a distinctive living space that reflects the owner’s tastes and personality.
Steel frame barndominiums offer exceptional durability. Steel is resistant to many of the common ailments that can affect traditional wood structures, such as termites and moisture damage. These properties ensure a longer lifespan and lower maintenance costs, which is a significant advantage for any homeowner.
Barndominiums are very comparable to traditional home in terms of their cost of construction. Many are built using prefabricated steel frames that reduce both the time and labor required for construction….and the simplified design reduces waste. Many people are surprised to find that you can build a far superior product, for roughly the same cost as a stick built home.
The construction of a barndominium can be remarkably quick, especially when using a prefabricated kit. This speedy construction is not only convenient but also reduces costs associated with labor and rental accommodations while waiting for the build to complete.
Barndominiums are highly customizable. Whether it’s adjusting the floor plans to suit a particular lifestyle or choosing finishes that reflect personal style, homeowners can create a space that truly feels like their own. This level of customization is typically available without the premium cost associated with custom-built traditional home.
The rising popularity of barndominiums reflects a broader shift towards more flexible, affordable, and personalized living solutions.
As more people discover the myriad benefits of these structures, the trend towards choosing a barndominium over a traditional home is expected to continue growing, reshaping perceptions of what a modern home can be.
