Custom buildings, built with your needs and vision in mind.

A Shore Built residential barndominium is more than a home — it’s a lifestyle statement. Designed with flexibility and future-readiness at its core, our builds combine modern layouts with the durability of premium post-frame construction.

From open-concept living areas and attached workshops to future-ready guest wings and mancaves, we plan for how you’ll live today and tomorrow. By roughing in plumbing, electric, and HVAC chases during construction, you can add features years later without demolition.

Our in-house interior designer guides you through selections, layouts, and finishes that balance elegance with daily function. Paired with our architect partners and trade specialists, your home flows seamlessly from exterior envelope to interior detail. And thanks to airtight construction methods, above-code insulation, and advanced sealing techniques, our barndominiums rank among the most energy-efficient buildings in Delaware.

Key Features:

  • Engineered for Sussex County wind/snow loads and built to exceed code standards
  • High-performance insulation and airtight detailing for year-round efficiency
  • Premium craftsmanship, including Amish framing partners
  • Collaborative design process with master plans for future growth

On Delmarva we create a building that enhances your lifestyle and aligns with your personal values and creativity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a pole building and a barndominium?

A pole building is the structural shell; a barndominium is a finished living or working space inside that shell. We specialize in finished builds and future-ready shells.

Can you install electric and plumbing later?

Yes — and we’ll rough-in utilities during construction so upgrades are easy and affordable.

Do you work with homeowners or only businesses?

Both. We handle residential, commercial, and agricultural projects of all sizes.

Can you help design my space?

Absolutely — we collaborate on layouts, features, and finishes to match your current and future needs.
