We are Texas Barndominium Specialists
Barndominium Home Kits
We Manufacture Barndominium Home Kits and Ship to Your Job Site
Since 1999, Absolute Steel has been manufacturing and selling a wide range of steel frame buildings, including barndominiums. The building kit is manufactured at our facilies in the USA, then neatly packed and delivered to your job site.
Barndominiums are growing in numbers and popularity, and it makes sense. As the name suggests a barndominium is a hybrid between a home and a barn. It does not necessarily mean you share space with the farm animals, although we’ve built some for horse people who had their horses downstairs or in a separate portion.

Your home kit comes in an easy-to-assemble kit, neatly packaged, with clear instructions.

Once you have the frame assembled, you’re ready for panels that come with your frame kit.
Barndominium Kits that are DIY & Contractor Friendly
We have been manufacturing DIY-friendly buildings for over 25 years and we are pretty good at doing it. Your barndominum kit comes with detailed instructions, and easy slip-fit connections.
If you go DIY, you basically act as an owner/builder or your own general contractor. You handle the subcontractors, making sure they do their respective trade. Of course, any of those tasks you do yourself saves you even more.
The other option is to hire a contractor and have it completely done for you from start to finish. Either way, we can provide what you need for your new home shell.

Your Dream Barndominium is Within Reach
You Get An Easy to Install Shell
We provide you with the steel frame, paneling, and all door and window buildouts. We make your kit, and ship it to your job site. It arrives on a truck in neatly packaged bundles with clear instructions for assembly.
Design the Floor Plan Your Way
You are not forced to choose from “cookie cutter” barndominium plans. You build your floor plan the way you want it.
Your shell will be a sturdy steel frame, but you can use wood studs on the interior, or continue the framing with steel.
Choose Finishes or Contractors
You are not stuck with random contractors. Sub all of it out, go DIY, or a little of both.
You can source materials from your local supply store and choose who YOU want to finish your interior.
Barndominium advantages
It’s a Solid Investment
Lower Cost
Barndominium construction costs can be substantially less than traditional wood frame construction. Steel framing and steel panel exteriors are cost effective; it’s why they’re used for shops and barns.
Easy Maintenance
Ongoing maintenance is very minimal with a steel building. Our exterior metal panels can come with a 45 year warranty on the paint against fading, chalking or peeling. You won’t get that with conventional construction.
Short Commute Times
Since a barndominium is a combo of living and work space, you’ll have plenty of space for both. Imagine no commute times, no traffic, more available time for you. Save money on gas, lessen the stress on you and your vehicles by driving less.
Fire & Weather Resistance
The steel paneling provides protection from embers spread during wildland fires, or when a neighboring structure is burning, thus giving your home a much higher protection rating than with wood construction.
The panels and frame come with warranties of 20-45 years (depending on panels chosen) against fading and chalking from the weather.
Environmentally Friendly
Absolute Steel barndominiums are made entirely of steel which contains as much as 67% recycled steel. Additionally all the materials found in an Absolute Steel building are 100% recyclable. You’ll find steel to be pest resistant and practically paint free. That puts an end to pesticides and paint fumes which is good for the environment and you.
Easy. Just Easy.
When you take advantage of our full service barndominium design and construction services, you don’t have to worry about the details.
Our job is to reduce, or remove, the stresses normally associated with home buying and building.
Texas Made and Proud of It
We have earned a reputation for the quality of our materials, excellent customer service, integrity and reliability. We aren’t middlemen. We are the manufacturers of the steel frame system and other quality structures we offer. When you have questions or concerns, you know exactly where to reach us. We’re proud to offer the best warranty in the business.
Your frame system and exterior paneling are ENGINEERED EASY to install, and will hold up to the toughest elements for years to come. All frames and exterior panels come with ROCK SOLID WARRANTIES too.
The Stand Alone Frame System
The core of our Texas metal buildings
We use only high quality steel in our frame systems because then we know the steel in our metal buildings and steel carports measures up to the specifications that engineering calls for.
Self-Standing Steel Frame
Same Structure with Stucco Exterior
Delivered to your job site in a neat bundle
- No forklifts or special equipment needed.
- Easy slip-fit frame connections make it simple.
- Our galvalnized steel frame system resists rust, bugs, hurricane winds, and fire.
- Engineering available for local code requirements.
- Made in Terrell, TX.
As far as the competition goes? We use larger sized steel, stronger steel (that actually specs out), and a more corrosive resistant steel so you’re ensured the best possible product that your money can buy.
No other tubular steel building system offers you the flexibility and ease of installation to make your exterior walls in most any finish you want - or the inside walls for that matter. Our customers have used our frame system along with wood, stucco, brick and even shingles to achieve the look they wanted.
The Stand-Alone frame system is quite different from other steel building systems in that the structural stress in our steel buildings is evenly dispersed throughout the entire frame system.
