Barn Houses for Alternative Accommodation

Barn houses for alternative accommodation are rapidly becoming popular as people are looking for affordable housing options. Our barn houses comply with NZS – 3604 and can be permitted by council to different degrees of habitability.

The majority of the building can be built as a shed with a section of the building designated for domestic living area, or the entire building can be used as living space.

How much does a barn house cost in NZ?

The cost of a barn house in New Zealand depends on the size, design, and level of fit-out required for living spaces. A basic shell structure may be more affordable, while fully finished barn homes with kitchens, bathrooms, and insulation will cost more due to additional building requirements and compliance. Because each project is different, a custom design and detailed quote is the best way to determine the total cost.

Barn Houses Are a Flexible Option

House barns are a flexible option as the internal layout is unrestricted due to the portal frame’s ability to span long distances.

We build and supply quality barn houses.

A barn house is a building that combines the structure of a barn with residential living space. It can be designed as a full-time home or a mix of storage, workshop, and accommodation under one roof.

Yes, a barn can be used as a home in New Zealand, but it must meet building code requirements for residential use. This includes compliance with insulation, plumbing, and other living standards, and approval from the local council.
