Turnkey Hybrid Barndominium Homes in Tyler, TX

Modern Hybrid Barndominium Living

Hybrid Barndominium homes have become a highly sought-after choice for homeowners who want durability, efficiency, minimal maintenance and modern living all in one. At Iron King Construction in Tyler, TX, turnkey hybrid barndominiums combine the rustic appeal of a barn-inspired structure with the refined comfort of a custom home. Each project is designed to balance steel strength with stylish finishes, creating a home that feels unique while also being built to last.

What “Turnkey” Really Means

When Iron King Construction describes a hybrid barndominium as turnkey, it means every detail of the process is managed from start to finish. Instead of coordinating multiple contractors or dealing with unfinished work, homeowners receive a fully completed residence. From the foundation and framing to plumbing, electrical, flooring, and paint, everything is included. By the time the keys are handed over, the home is move-in ready.

Custom Design Options

Every hybrid barndominium built in Tyler is tailored to the needs of the homeowner. Design flexibility allows for open-concept layouts, vaulted ceilings, and energy-efficient features. Large windows, custom kitchens, and spacious living areas can be integrated to reflect personal style. Iron King Construction focuses on merging modern finishes with the rugged strength of metal and wood, ensuring that each home is both practical and aesthetically impressive.

Interior Possibilities

  • Open floor plans with seamless living and dining spaces
  • Custom cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures
  • Energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems

Exterior Features

  • Strong metal siding with rustic or modern accents
  • Large covered porches for outdoor living
  • Durable roofing engineered for long-lasting performance

The Building Process

Iron King Construction follows a clear and organized building process. After the initial design consultation, site preparation begins with grading and foundation work. Once the steel framing and structural shell are in place, the construction team handles insulation, drywall, and custom finishes. Each stage of the project is carefully inspected, ensuring that the home not only meets but exceeds local building standards in Tyler, TX.

Why Hybrid Barndominiums Stand Out

Hybrid barndominiums are more than just a trend—they are a practical long-term housing solution. The steel and wood construction provides resilience against weather while offering flexibility for design. Unlike traditional homes, hybrid barndominiums allow for greater open space and adaptability, making them ideal for families, professionals, or anyone seeking a modern alternative to standard residential construction.

About our Hybrid Barndominium Shell

Iron King Construction has been delivering exceptional remodeling, custom homes, and barndominiums since 2008. Our deep experience led us to develop our signature Hybrid Shell in 2019—a barndominium built for permanence. The Hybrid Shell is a custom, on-site build, not a prefabricated kit. Our process involves cutting, fabricating, welding, and erecting the home directly on your property.

Here is what makes our approach unique:

  • Superior framing: Instead of standard metal or wood girts, our exterior walls are stick-framed between the legs of the roof structure.
  • Weather protection: We wrap all exterior walls with the high-performance ZIP sheathing system before installing your durable 26-gauge metal wall panels.
  • Turnkey framing: Our experienced team also handles all interior and exterior wood framing, ensuring seamless quality throughout the entire structure.

The Hybrid Advantage: 

  • More interior space: By eliminating the bulky perimeter walls of standard barndominiums, a hybrid build adds valuable square footage to your living space.
  • No special orders: The use of standard stick-framed walls allows for standard-sized windows and doors, avoiding the costs and delays of custom-ordered extensions.
  • Better-insulated walls: Spray foam is applied to the exterior ZIP sheathing rather than the metal siding. This ensures a consistent thermal barrier for the walls, while a combination of closed- and open-cell foam is used on the roof.
  • Stress-free repairs: With the insulation protected behind the sheathing, you can easily replace damaged exterior wall metal panels if needed.
  • Unmatched durability: The addition of ZIP sheathing reinforces the structure, creating a more robust "eggshell" that protects your home.

About our Hybrid Barndominium Home Finishes

Our Hybrid Barndominiums are designed for longevity and built differently. We believe custom quality shouldn't come with a custom price tag. By exceeding builder-grade standards, we provide a home that is both beautiful and built to last.

Custom features included with every Hybrid Barndominium:

  • Chef-inspired kitchens: Enjoy custom-built cabinetry, a convenient pull-out trash drawer, and a stunning custom-designed vent hood.
  • Premium countertops: Choose from granite or three standard quartz options, with the ability to upgrade to hand-selected quartz or quartzite.
  • Signature sinks: A porcelain or stainless-steel kitchen farm-sink adds a classic, durable centerpiece to your kitchen.
  • Upscale bathrooms: The master suite features a custom tile shower, while all other bathrooms include a high-quality acrylic tub with a tile wall surround—never fiberglass or cultured marble inserts.
  • Lifetime-guaranteed fixtures: Rest easy with lifetime warranty plumbing fixtures from trusted brands like Delta and Pfister, available in matte black or stainless finishes.
  • Elegant flooring: Polished concrete floors come standard, with an upgrade option to luxury vinyl plank or an allowance to select your own custom flooring.
  • Spacious kitchen with wood floors, an island with bar stools, and stainless steel appliances.

Hybrid Barndominium Home Pricing

Building a custom barndominium involves many factors, from the layout of your living area to the size of your shop and porches. That's why we price our projects by the square foot for each specific area. For your complete, move-in-ready living space, our pricing starts at $175 per square foot. 

The Home-Building Process

Phase 1: Planning and Initial Consultation

We recommend that you get a preliminary estimate from us before you purchase a final set of architectural plans. Many people who buy plans first end up needing to change them after they get a quote, which can be a waste of time and money.


Instead, start by finding a general layout with overall dimensions and ideal square footage. Even a simple drawing on graph paper showing the dimensions of the main living areas, porches, and garage or carport can work for an initial estimate.


If you already have official plans, that’s great—it just means we can provide a more precise estimate right away.


For those with a set budget or pre-approved loan amount, we can also help you find a floor plan from our in-house stock plans that will fit within your financial goals.


Within four weeks of receiving your layout, we'll send you a preliminary estimate. Once you’ve had a chance to review it, we'll schedule a consultation to answer any questions and adjust the estimate as needed. You can set up a time to visit our hybrid barndominium office to see some of our finishes firsthand or meet with us via Video Conference if you prefer.

Phase 2: Site Evaluation and Finalizing Plans

This is when things start to get real. We'll meet you at your property, often with our land specialist, to evaluate the build site. This helps us get an accurate idea of the site preparation costs, which will be added to your final estimate.


Once you have the final estimate, including the site prep costs, you can move forward with purchasing your official plans or having your custom layout professionally drawn.

Phase 3: Contract and Construction

When everything is finalized, we will provide you with an itemized, fixed-price contract to build your home. If you're financing the project, we'll work directly with your lender to finalize the interim construction loan.


From there, the fun begins! There's no middleman on our team. Daniel, who is directly involved in your build, will immediately begin ordering all the construction materials. We aim for a 6-8 month construction timeline, but please be aware that delays due to weather can occur.


Throughout construction, Liz will be your personal guide. She will present you with hand-picked finish selections to match your style while staying within budget. If you prefer to have more freedom, a design allowance, is also an option. We’ll ensure you stay informed throughout the entire journey to your new home.
