BuildMax House Plans

BuildMax House Plans is a barndominium design and kit company based in Vine Grove, Kentucky, operating since 2003. The company sells stock barndominium house plans as instant digital downloads and pairs them with complete framing packages, so the same team that designs a plan also engineers the kit that frames it. Buyers can choose between cold-formed steel kits engineered for a specific site or traditional wood framing packages.

Custom design modifications and full custom architectural services are available for owners who want changes to a stock plan. Framing packages ship to all 50 states, which makes BuildMax a fit for owners building outside the reach of a local barndominium contractor. The company works the shell side of the market: it supplies the plans and the engineered framing kit, and the owner or a local contractor handles erection and finish-out.

BuildMax also publishes construction loan information and referrals for buyers arranging financing, though it does not lend directly. For anyone comparing kit suppliers, the combination of a large stock plan library, in-house engineering, and nationwide shipping is the core offer from this Vine Grove, Kentucky company.
