Pre-construction site preparation with grading stakes and soil compaction equipment

    Barndominiums

    Barndominium construction by Tacoma Creek Build Co. combines living quarters and shop space under one roof—delivering cost-effective, low-maintenance structures across Spokane County, Kootenai County, Bonner County, and Pend Oreille County. Our licensed general contractors build metal-sided barndominiums with modern interiors, open floor plans, and attached shops—ideal for property owners who need homes, workshops, and equipment storage in a single building. Whether you're planning a 2,000-square-foot home with a 1,500-square-foot shop in Spokane, a lake-view barndominium near Coeur d'Alene, a mountain retreat in Sandpoint, or a timber property build in Newport, we deliver permitted, insulated, and code-compliant structures designed for mountain living.

    Barndominiums face unique regulatory challenges: fire separation between living and shop areas, residential energy codes for heated spaces, financing and appraisal hurdles, and building department scrutiny of unconventional designs. We've navigated these issues across Washington and Idaho jurisdictions—engineering fire-rated walls, coordinating with lenders and appraisers, and ensuring projects meet IRC residential standards while preserving the open, industrial aesthetic clients love. When your project includes site work, septic, wells, and driveways, we coordinate the full scope as a turnkey builder.
