A Planning Process That Aligns Vision and Structure

Every barndominium project begins with a clear understanding of how the homeowner plans to use the interior and surrounding space. With generous floor spans, tall ceilings, and a blend of residential and functional features, the planning stage helps establish the right structure for long-term comfort. MDRN Contracting LLC guides clients through both design and logistics to ensure the final plan accommodates daily routines while reflecting the property’s natural layout.

Establishing Layout Priorities

A successful plan begins with defining the main structure and lifestyle needs.

  • Determining whether the space will include a shop, garage, or hobby area
  • Identifying the preferred balance between open living areas and private rooms
  • Reviewing the land to determine placement, driveway access, and orientation
  • Outlining architectural elements that complement the barndominium structure

Creating the Structural and Design Blueprint

Once the layout direction is clear, detailed planning begins.

  • Designing open-span living areas supported by the steel frame
  • Developing floor plans that integrate both functional and residential spaces
  • Choosing exterior styles that match the surrounding environment
  • Ensuring compliance with Wichita building codes and local zoning requirements

Strong Construction Built on Wood & Metal Framework

The foundation of a barndominium lies in its solid wood frame, which allows for spacious interiors and reliable long-term performance. MDRN Contracting LLC constructs each frame with careful attention to structural stability, preparing the space for versatile room arrangements and flexible utility placement. The precision of this stage directly influences the quality and durability of the finished home.

Wood or steel Frame Assembly

The wood and steel frame establishes the building’s shape and stability.

  • Installing the steel shell engineered for Kansas wind conditions
  • Creating wide spans that allow large living rooms or mixed-use spaces
  • Securing the frame to ensure long-lasting structural performance
  • Preparing for insulation, utilities, and interior framing

Exterior Systems and Weather Protection

After assembling the structure, the focus shifts to protecting the home from the elements.

  • Adding metal siding designed for weather resistance
  • Installing roofing systems that support durability and energy performance
  • Integrating window and door openings for natural light and accessibility
  • Ensuring moisture protection and proper ventilation throughout the structure

Interior Construction Designed for Comfort and Practicality

Inside a barndominium, the goal is to create a warm, functional environment that feels fully residential while maintaining open space flexibility. MDRN Contracting LLC builds each room with attention to flow, lighting, insulation, and day-to-day use. Whether the homeowner wants a modern loft-style interior or a more traditional arrangement, the construction process supports a wide range of finishes and configurations.
