in this economy
expect to pay (out on the market, fully subcontracted) 5/SF on site prep, 15/SF for slab, 20-30/SF for the building. After that it’s completely up to you what you spend or don’t spend

I like the options we have with the barndo vs traditional framing. We used 28' TJI's for the great room with 12' ceiling. We've been keeping the whole house very comfortable with a 10k window shaker after the foaming.
We're going to put a 24k solar mini split in the great room to run constantly. I don't think the main system will run much at all.
Trying to minimize inductive loads for gen set/ solar friendliness. Main AC is also variable speed/inverter.
We are staying bare concrete. We had sealer sprayed at pour. There is some cracking but it's what we expected.
Our south wall has an 8' awning over the porch that shades the entire south wall in the summer months. An 18" overhang on the main roof shades the wall above that.
We've been doing this ourselves and a lot of the pricing has dropped since we did the heavy construction.

The typical post/frame construction (pole barn) I see is where they sink posts into holes filed with concrete. This seems prone to failure/rot. Are the ones that are building post/frame houses pouring footings and then putting the post on top of the footing, using some sort of bracket?

Where are you located and who did you use?

Outside of the slab, septic work and foam, we have done it all. This was treated as a pole barn at first with 4 1/2” oil pipe for posts. They were virgin with the green epoxy coating still on. This is also in Gonzales Tx

Thank you! We have been stalled for awhile, Dad passed end of April and this weekend the MIL. I did get the guest shower in, went with the acrylic no caulk 32x60 Delta on that one. My wife doesn't want grout anywhere.
Here's the last plan we had drawn. We made minor changes in the kitchen and Master. Overall we are pleased with the layout. We did put another exterior door where the 5th window on the south of the great room is shown.

If I was in a location where my house had to be elevated, could I put a barndo up on blocks? Like I’m building a house 2 feet off the ground on blocks put it be a barndo?

you cannot put a pre engineered metal building or a pole barn “up on blocks”, no. You can put a conventionally framed (stick built) on piers however
a structural frame whether steel or timber needs to bear on a slab in order to resist uplift
your other option would be drilled shafts or driven piles. Engineered correctly then you could do a structural frame on that
