Barndominium Construction – CR Custom Buildings
Custom Homes Built for Country Living and Real Life Work
Barndominium Builders for Colorado Landowners and Rural Properties
CR Custom Buildings designs and builds barndominiums across Northern Colorado and the Eastern Plains. We create custom steel-framed homes that combine living space with shop, storage, or workspace under one roof. Whether you’re a rancher, welder, horse owner, or simply want a home with more flexibility, we help you build a space that fits how you live and work.
We do more than frame walls and install metal panels. We help you plan the structure, layout, utilities, and finishes from slab to ceiling so you get a barndominium that is both livable and functional.
What Is a Barndominium?
A barndominium is a modern, energy-efficient structure that combines the durability of a metal building with the comfort of a custom home. These buildings typically include a residential living area along with space for garages, shops, storage, or livestock shelter. They are ideal for landowners who want to make the most of their space without building multiple structures.
Common uses include:
- Living quarters with attached garage or shop
- Combination home and welding or mechanical workspace
- Horse barns with built-in apartments
- Farm headquarters with office, kitchen, and storage
- Multi-use family homes with open floor plans and custom interiors
Barndominiums give you the freedom to live and work in one efficient, well-designed space.
