Plan HG-2421 (1,728 Sq Ft (36x48) 2 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 48'-0" × 36'-0" structural grid (1,728 sq ft base footprint, 0.75:1 Square-Bay Proportion). Configured on the Side-Bay Shop + Wet-Core Mudroom Buffer topology, this layout delivers 1,116 sq ft of conditioned residential living area paired with a 612 sq ft fire-separated workshop/garage bay and 248 sq ft of covered outdoor porch deck.

Inside the conditioned envelope, the floor plan is organized into 6 distinct architectural zones: 2-BAY SHOP / GARAGE (17'-0" × 36'-0", 612 sq ft), PRIMARY SUITE (16'-0" × 16'-0", 256 sq ft), BEDROOM 2 (15'-0" × 16'-0", 240 sq ft), GREAT ROOM & DINING (19'-0" × 20'-0", 380 sq ft), BATH & MUDROOM (12'-0" × 9'-0", 108 sq ft), KITCHEN & ISLAND (12'-0" × 11'-0", 132 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 256 sq ft; BEDROOM 2 at 240 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 48' clear-span width utilizes 3-ply laminated post-frame columns (8' o.c.) + bookshelf girts bearing on 168 linear feet of 6" exterior wall framing (~191 framing studs/posts) and 143 linear feet of interior partitions. The 4:12 29-gauge ribbed or 26-gauge standing seam metal roof requires approximately 2,040 sq ft of roofing material (24 roofing squares), while the concrete pier footings w/ perma-column brackets & floating slab pours at an estimated 35 cubic yards of 4,000-PSI concrete.

How much does it cost to build the 48x36 1,728 Sq Ft (36x48) 2 Bed 2 Bath Pole Barn Home (Post-Frame) Floor Plan with Shop (HG-2421)?

Based on current national residential construction data for pole barn home (post-frame) structures, the dried-in structural shell for Plan HG-2421 (1,728 sq ft base footprint) ranges from $46,000 to $58,500 ($28/sq ft baseline). A complete turnkey build—including the 35-yard concrete foundation, 143 linear feet of interior framing, MEP rough-ins for 2 bath(s), and interior finishes across 1,116 sq ft of heated space plus the 612 sq ft shop bay—ranges from $160,000 to $194,000. 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 1,116 sq ft 2-bedroom layout?

Plan HG-2421 features 6 architecturally solved spaces inside its 48' × 36' footprint: 2-BAY SHOP / GARAGE (17'-0" × 36'-0", 612 sq ft), PRIMARY SUITE (16'-0" × 16'-0", 256 sq ft), BEDROOM 2 (15'-0" × 16'-0", 240 sq ft), GREAT ROOM & DINING (19'-0" × 20'-0", 380 sq ft), BATH & MUDROOM (12'-0" × 9'-0", 108 sq ft), KITCHEN & ISLAND (12'-0" × 11'-0", 132 sq ft). Every habitable room meets or exceeds IRC R304 minimum area (70+ sq ft) and minimum horizontal dimension (7'-0"+) requirements.

Can this 48' × 36' floor plan be built with post-frame, red-iron steel, or 2x6 stick framing?

Yes. Because the outer envelope is engineered on an even 48'-0" × 36'-0" structural grid (168 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).
