We Build All Types of Buildings

Sherman Buildings designs and builds custom barndominiums and modular homes that combine modern residential comfort with efficient, durable construction. Whether you’re planning a full-time home, a shouse, or a live-work space, we tailor each project to your lifestyle, budget, and long-term goals.

From post-frame barndos to precision-built modular homes set on permanent foundations, we offer flexible build options—ranging from weather-tight shells to fully finished, move-in-ready homes—throughout Minnesota and the surrounding region.

Modular Homes

Our modular homes combine the efficiency of precision-built construction with the quality and customization of a traditionally built home. Each home is engineered in a controlled environment, then set on a permanent foundation and finished on-site to meet or exceed local building codes. The result is a durable, energy-efficient home with flexible designs, predictable timelines, and craftsmanship you can count on.

  • Custom floor plans & layouts – designed around your lifestyle

  • Built to local & state building codes – not HUD standards

  • Permanent foundation options – crawlspace, basement, or slab

  • Precision-built in a controlled environment – consistent quality

  • Energy-efficient materials & systems

  • Faster, more predictable build timelines

  • Single point of contact from design to completion

Barndominiums

Our barndominiums blend durable post-frame construction with fully customized living spaces designed to fit how you live and work. Whether you’re looking for wide-open interiors, integrated garages or shop areas, or a true live-work layout, each barndo is engineered for your site and built to meet local building codes. The result is a versatile, energy-efficient home with long-term durability and design freedom you won’t find in traditional construction.

  • Custom barndominium designs – residential, hybrid, or shop-focused

  • Post-frame construction expertise – built for strength and longevity

  • Flexible layouts – open living spaces, garages, workshops, or storage

  • Engineered for your site & local codes

  • Energy-efficient building systems

  • Durable exterior options – steel, wood, or mixed materials

  • Faster construction timelines than traditional builds

  • One team from design through completion
