Plan HG-1011 (1,200 Sq Ft (30x40) 3 Bed 2 Bath Pole Barn Home (Post-Frame) Floor Plan with Shop) is an IRC R304/R310-vetted pole barn home (post-frame) blueprint engineered around a 40'-0" × 30'-0" structural grid (1,200 sq ft base footprint, 0.75:1 Square-Bay Proportion). Configured on the Side-Bay Shop + Wet-Core Mudroom Buffer topology, this layout delivers 780 sq ft of conditioned residential living area paired with a 420 sq ft fire-separated workshop/garage bay and 208 sq ft of covered outdoor porch deck.
Inside the conditioned envelope, the floor plan is organized into 7 distinct architectural zones: 1-BAY SHOP / GARAGE (14'-0" × 30'-0", 420 sq ft), PRIMARY SUITE (10'-0" × 13'-0", 130 sq ft), BEDROOM 2 (8'-0" × 13'-0", 104 sq ft), BEDROOM 3 (8'-0" × 13'-0", 104 sq ft), GREAT ROOM & DINING (16'-0" × 17'-0", 272 sq ft), BATH & MUDROOM (10'-0" × 7'-6", 75 sq ft). Plumbing rough-ins are consolidated across BATH & MUDROOM, KITCHEN & ISLAND to minimize sub-slab trenching and manifold pipe runs. Sleeping quarters (PRIMARY SUITE at 130 sq ft; BEDROOM 2 at 104 sq ft; BEDROOM 3 at 104 sq ft) are acoustically buffered from the primary living core and positioned on exterior elevations for code-compliant egress glazing.
From a builder takeoff standpoint, the 40' clear-span width utilizes 3-ply laminated post-frame columns (8' o.c.) + bookshelf girts bearing on 140 linear feet of 6" exterior wall framing (~175 framing studs/posts) and 129 linear feet of interior partitions. The 4:12 29-gauge ribbed or 26-gauge standing seam metal roof requires approximately 1,417 sq ft of roofing material (17 roofing squares), while the concrete pier footings w/ perma-column brackets & floating slab pours at an estimated 26 cubic yards of 4,000-PSI concrete.

How much does it cost to build the 40x30 1,200 Sq Ft (30x40) 3 Bed 2 Bath Pole Barn Home (Post-Frame) Floor Plan with Shop (HG-1011)?
Based on current national residential construction data for pole barn home (post-frame) structures, the dried-in structural shell for Plan HG-1011 (1,200 sq ft base footprint) ranges from $32,500 to $41,500 ($28/sq ft baseline). A complete turnkey build—including the 26-yard concrete foundation, 129 linear feet of interior framing, MEP rough-ins for 2 bath(s), and interior finishes across 780 sq ft of heated space plus the 420 sq ft shop bay—ranges from $112,000 to $137,000. Use the interactive Regional Cost Multiplier on this page to adjust for your local labor market and owner-builder sweat equity.
What are the exact room dimensions inside this 780 sq ft 3-bedroom layout?
Plan HG-1011 features 7 architecturally solved spaces inside its 40' × 30' footprint: 1-BAY SHOP / GARAGE (14'-0" × 30'-0", 420 sq ft), PRIMARY SUITE (10'-0" × 13'-0", 130 sq ft), BEDROOM 2 (8'-0" × 13'-0", 104 sq ft), BEDROOM 3 (8'-0" × 13'-0", 104 sq ft), GREAT ROOM & DINING (16'-0" × 17'-0", 272 sq ft), BATH & MUDROOM (10'-0" × 7'-6", 75 sq ft), KITCHEN & ISLAND (10'-0" × 9'-6", 95 sq ft). Every habitable room meets or exceeds IRC R304 minimum area (70+ sq ft) and minimum horizontal dimension (7'-0"+) requirements.
Can this 40' × 30' floor plan be built with post-frame, red-iron steel, or 2x6 stick framing?
Yes. Because the outer envelope is engineered on an even 40'-0" × 30'-0" structural grid (140 LF perimeter) with clear-span 4:12 trusses, a local structural engineer or building kit supplier can adapt the blueprint for 3-Ply Laminated Post-Frame Columns (8' o.c.) + Bookshelf Girts, conventional 2x6 stick framing at 16" o.c., laminated post-frame columns at 8' o.c., or structural insulated panels (SIPs).
