A massive modern barndominium-inspired home, delivered as a fully engineered prefab kit. Your builder assembles the fully insulated shell in 5–15 days.
A 10-year limited warranty on the structural panels themselves — the core of the building.
A blended 30-year window warranty: 10 years on the glazing and 30 years on the window cladding.
Wall and roof panels reach up to R-61 on their own — no extra insulation added on site to hit that rating.
Can be engineered up to the maximum snow load anywhere in North America — build where you want.
Step out of the rain and into any barn. Crane your neck: trusted, heavy timbers support a soaring ceiling. Smile: children speed up, skipping across the open floors. Spread your arms, cup your hands and see how far your shout will carry.
DEN captured the best of our rural buildings and presents our largest home ever. The timbers let you host fast and support almost 4,000 square feet. The soaring open spaces invite play and gatherings, from basketball in the garage to celebrations in the open kitchen. Stretch out and restore a car, or two, in the garage — and collect more toys, because the garage is designed to expand.
With 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, you could host 12 in the barndominium — but if you tire of guests, we’ll convert the guest room to a game room. Welcome home.

The Barndo Prefab package starts at $398,400. That includes the panelized building shell, engineered and stamped plans, premium windows and exterior doors, and shipping within the continental United States. Your total build cost also includes site prep, foundation, interior finishing, and mechanical systems installed by your local contractor. Taxes and additional fees may apply.
Turn-key cost depends on your site, region, and finish level, but DEN's fixed-price panelized shell helps you deliver at or below local stick-built rates. A simple way to estimate: start with your budget for a finished home, subtract the DEN prefab package price, and what remains is your budget for foundation, on-site assembly, finishes, and systems. Our cost calculator helps you get a closer number.
Every DEN project begins with a $10,000 kickoff deposit that is fully refundable for 14 days. The deposit reserves your place in the production pipeline and is credited toward your manufacturing contract. After preconstruction, DEN issues a contract defining the full project price and a milestone-based payment schedule tied to engineering, release of stamped plans, start of fabrication, and shipment.
This FAQ is informational only; your DEN Terms & Conditions and manufacturing contract govern your project.
No. Every DEN prefab package comes with fully engineered, permit-ready stamped plans. These construction documents include the specifications your local contractor needs to build to design, so you do not need to separately hire an architect or structural engineer for the building itself.
The insulated panel shell is typically assembled in about 5 to 15 days by a 2 to 3 person crew, with no crane required. Total time to completion depends on your local contractor's schedule for foundation work, interior finishing, and mechanical systems. Most homeowners can expect roughly 3 to 6 months from foundation to move-in.
DEN's building panels use premium steel and closed-cell foam rather than traditional structural insulated panels (SIPs). This delivers superior thermal performance, structural strength, and longevity. Unlike standard SIPs, DEN's panels resist degradation and rot over time, and their insulation values exceed local building codes.
Yes. DEN's steel and closed-cell foam panel system provides high-performance insulation that exceeds local energy codes, with wall and roof panels reaching up to R-61. Combined with a ducted heat pump and an ERV for balanced heating, cooling, and fresh-air ventilation, the Barndo stays comfortable year-round with low energy use, even across nearly 3,500 square feet.
Yes. Design customizations are available for a flat fee of 5% of the prefab package price. DEN reviews every requested change during preconstruction to confirm it integrates cleanly into the panelized building system before your plans are finalized.
Absolutely. DEN's designs are built for both private retreats and hospitality use. With 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and space to sleep 8 to 12, the Barndo is well suited to short-term rentals and large-group stays, subject to your local zoning and permitting rules.
The Barndo can be built on a concrete slab, crawl space, or walkout basement. The right choice depends on your local building codes, site and soil conditions, and personal preference, and is finalized during preconstruction. Local engineering produces a stamped foundation design from soil testing and site specifics, while DEN provides a complete engineered plan set from the foundation up, ready for permitting.
Your prefab kit is cleared for shipment once final payment is received. It is then released from the factory and routed to your delivery location, with a confirmed delivery window provided ahead of shipment.

Great question — and also kind of like asking how much a wedding costs. It depends… but we can help you get close!
What we do know is this: our prefab packages are insanely affordable, especially if you're building in a high price-per-square-foot market. Seriously — you're getting a fully insulated building shell, with premium windows and doors, for less than a luxury car. And unlike a car, this thing won't depreciate the second it hits your land — it's a house. A real one. One that'll last generations and possibly outlive us all.
Want to know how much your total project will cost turn-key?
👉 Use our cost calculator here.
Start by determining your budget range for a fully finished home. Then subtract the cost of your prefab package — that's your budget for everything else: foundation, assembly, interior & exterior finishes, and systems.
The beauty? Our fixed-price prefab system means you can deliver at or below market rates compared to stick-built construction.
The prefab package starts at $398,400. This includes the panelized construction system, engineered plans, windows and exterior doors, and shipping within the continental United States. Additional costs will include site preparation, foundation, interior finishing, and mechanical systems installation by your local contractor. Taxes and additional fees may apply.
No. All of DEN's Prefab Packages come with fully engineered and stamped plans ready for permitting. These comprehensive documents include all necessary specifications for your local contractor to complete the build according to design.
Yes. Customizations are available and carry a flat 5% fee of the total prefab sticker price. We’ll review all requested changes in preconstruction to ensure they can be integrated into the prefab system.
Extremely efficient. Our premium steel and closed cell foam panel system provides superior insulation that exceeds all local building codes. Combined with the mini-split HVAC system and optional wood or gas stove, DEN prefabs maintain comfortable temperatures year-round with minimal energy consumption, even in extreme climates.
Yes! DEN's entire catalogue was designed with both private retreat and hospitality ventures in mind. Its efficient space planning, luxury amenities, and striking design make it ideal for the short-term rental market.

The panel system can be erected in roughly 15-30 days with a small crew and lightweight crane. However, total project completion time will depend on your local contractor's schedule for foundation work, interior finishing, and systems installation. Most clients can expect the entire process from foundation to move-in to take 3-6 months.

This provides superior thermal performance, structural integrity, and longevity. Unlike standard SIPs, our panels won't degrade or rot over time, and they exceed all local insulation codes.
DEN's Prefab Packages can be built on a variety of foundation types, including concrete slab, crawl space, or walkout basement. Your local building codes, site conditions, and personal preference will ultimately determine the most suitable foundation. This decision is finalized during the preconstruction phase, and the prefab package will be adapted accordingly.
Local engineering is required to generate a stamped foundation design, which will account for soil testing results and site-specific conditions. DEN provides you with a complete engineered plan set from the foundation up, ready to support your project through permitting and construction.
Every DEN prefab project begins with a $10,000 kickoff deposit, fully refundable for 14 days. The deposit reserves your spot in the prefab pipeline and is later credited against your manufacturing contract.
After preconstruction, we issue a manufacturing contract that defines the full project price and payment schedule. Payments are staged across milestones tied to operational steps such as the start of engineering, the release of stamped plans, the start of fabrication, and shipment.
