Why buy barndominium plans for Louisiana from us
A barndominium puts your home and your shop under one roof, which saves on foundations, roofing and site work compared with two buildings.
We draw steel-frame, wood-frame and post-frame barndos with frame lines shown for your metal building supplier, so your builder and steel vendor work from the same drawings.
Shops and RV bays
14-foot doors, wash bays, 50-amp service and floor drains are all shown on the plans.
Any framing system
Steel, wood or post-frame, and we can draw it so either works with small changes.
Complete, not just a shell
Interior layout, electrical and foundation details that kit plans often leave out.
What's included in your barndominium plans
- Living area and shop on one coordinated plan
- Shop bays, RV bays and overhead door sizes
- Steel or post-frame lines for your supplier
- Loft, mezzanine and guest suite options
- Porches, mudroom and safe room options

Building requirements
Building a house in Louisiana, LA: what the code requires
Statewide residential code
- Building code
- Louisiana State Uniform Construction Code (IRC-based) applies statewide.
- Energy code
- Energy provisions are adopted through the LSUCC.
- Climate zone
- IECC climate zone 2–3. Insulation, windows and HVAC are sized to match.
- Typical frost depth

- Foundations
- Raised or pier foundations where flood zones apply; slab inland.
- Who can draw the plans
- Single-family homes can generally be designed by a non-licensed home designer. A licensed engineer's stamp is often required for structural items, engineered foundations or special hazard zones, or when the local building official asks for it.
- Engineer stamp
- If your jurisdiction requires sealed drawings, add our Louisiana Engineer Stamp / Permit-Ready package ($1,000).
Louisiana-specific rules & hazards
- Coastal parishes have high design wind speeds and wind-borne debris requirements.
- Flood zones require elevation to the Base Flood Elevation plus local freeboard, and many parishes require an elevation certificate.
- New Orleans historic districts require HDLC review.
- High-wind and hurricane design (uplift connections, impact-rated openings)
- Flood-zone elevation and coastal foundation requirements
Summary for planning only. Codes, editions and local amendments change, so always confirm current requirements with the building department that will issue your permit. Our designers check your jurisdiction before drawing.
