Seems like if you are a DIY, and build over a long period of time, and can self-finance or finance through some alternate mechanism besides a mortgage (401K loan, etc…), and don’t care about equity loans - this would be a good way to hide your property value from the assessors?
Looks like just a shop from the outside.

Good idea if you live on acreage and have horses.

If you think that's a lot, I just did work on a barndominium that had to be over $3 million. It was baller, if these sorts of things can be baller. Top of the line everything.
Back to OP, one of my employees just priced one and it came in stupid high and he was going to have trouble financing it.

My dad is in the process of having one built right now. Creed Construction out of Shreveport is doing the build. Pouring the slab this week. 3bed/3bath with two regular garage bays and a large one for his camper. Should be done by November hopefully

Currently in the middle of our barn build.....
Images are a bit dated. We had plans drawn and have done just about everything ourselves - Me and the Wife (NP). We are currently finishing wiring and any wall penetrations before we have it spray foamed. Spraying the shell, including underside of roof tin.
Particulars are 50x90 gross, 2745' living with great room 26x50 with 12' ceilings, all other rooms with 10' ceilings. Barn/garage is last 30'

Looking to build one for me and the wife. Wondering about cost differences compared to a normal home.
Anyone had any luck with one or know someone who could build one?
The only advantage is the speed with which the shell can be dried in. Foundation is the same, interior finishes are the same. If you plan to remodel significantly there is an advantage there but most people never do a remodel to the extent that would be easier in a shell building.
A lot of counties won't allow it and a lot of mortgage options aren't available so resell value will take a hit.
It's a shame because under the right circumstances they could well be a significant cost savings. If the county will allow it you could dry it in and move in and do the interior out of pocket on your own when you had the money and time. Most won't allow it...occupancy permits generally require a finished building and water, sewage and power, even with wells and septic tanks, often require an occupancy permit.
Outside of the speed they can be dried in there ain't much of an advantage. If you can stick build a house with trusses the cost to dry in is about the same. The foundation and the interior finishes will be the same and the mortgage companies fear of anything different will hamper resell. Not in all areas but in a bunch of areas.

I would like to just build the metal structure, get it approved as a “shop” and then build out the rest as I see fit.
Possibly considering container homes in the future if I can find the right piece of land.
This is the ideal situation, unfortunately a sizeable amount of the nation has an authority having jurisdiction that will not allow it. It is also nearly impossible to do unless you can do it out of pocket and if you can do that you'd be better off investing elsewhere.
It really is a shame that most counties won't allow you to build a shop, finish a bathroom, a bedroom, a simple kitchen and a living area with the idea that the other 2000 square feet will be finished out of pocket as needed. Some will allow it...many will not.

I would build one today if it weren't for zoning restrictions and mortgage companies being hesitant to do deals on them...resell values can be hampered significantly, about like a used mobile home in some areas.
I would do the interior like a spec built commercial space with metal studs and lay in ceilings. It would cost about the same as stick built building but it could be done as needed easier and could be remodeled as needed easier. It'd cost about the same though...

Talking over these sort of things with friends once - one said if he could afford it he'd buy an offshore supply boat from one of those repo yards or something(1 mil +), get waterfront property,redo the inside. If he felt he wanted to leave ,hire a captain to move it.
Would have to have some $$$$$$$

Yes these are obstacles most will run into doing it this way. And someone else, or maybe it was you, mentioned re-selling obstacles.

Here is a quote for an enclosed 50 x 40 Kit from Stroud's Building Supply in NC. If you spray foam, you may want to consider using OSB/plywood for the exterior and the roof. If you spray foam directly on the metal, it may void the warranty and if you need to replace metal panels, it would be very difficult.
50x40 enclosed building kit with 12' side height with no insulation delivered you can figure $28,695. You will be tax exempt ordering from out of state. All kits are about 2-5 weeks out once you order, and all trusses are made with 2" angled steel and are engineered for 10' spacing. If you're ready to move forward, just send over your billing and shipping address, or just give me a call and I'd be happy to make you an invoice. All quotes good for 7 days. Complete Steel Truss Roof Kits includes all Black Agricultural Heavy Duty Angled 4/12 pitch Engineered Steel Trusses, all 40 year Metal Roofing, ridge cap, screws, gable trim, eave trim, all 2 x 6 yellow pine purlins, and all grade stamped 6 x 6 x 16 tall treated post. ALL TRUSSES MEASURE OUTSIDE POST TO OUTSIDE POST ON GABLE TRUSSES The steel truss roof kit ENCLOSED LIKE A BOX ON THE GROUND comes with everything listed below, NO DOORS, WINDOWS, SOFFITS, CONCRETE, LABOR, just complete building kit with Astro Armour insulation for roof and walls ENCLOSING KITS includes all vertical metal siding and ends, corner trims, rat guard, and J-channel, all 2 x 6 yellow pine grits 3'OC going up sides with 12 ' eave height standard.

Closed cell spray foam
An unbelievably awesome product that can produce some unbelievable bad results when used in home construction and you don't take into consideration you are going to be living in a Yeti ice chest with doors and windows.

Like what? I understand that a completely foamed system will need a mechanism for bringing in fresh air, but that is pretty common in the hvac world.
I’m interested in other cons to spray foam.

Just buy yourself 10 acres in the Hill Country of Texas for $129,000 and get a free barndominium:
