Plan Your Barndominium Before Expensive Decisions Become Permanent
IronField gives Canadian owner-builders 525+ practical planning decisions across seven build phases, covering site work, slab preparation, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, structure, interiors, and commissioning.
Built from a real Ontario barndominium project. Designed to help you ask better questions before construction begins.
Planning tool only. Professional design and approvals remain the responsibility of qualified professionals.
Most Expensive Changes Happen Before You See Them Coming
Many of the costliest changes in a barndominium build trace back to decisions made before excavation, underground work, concrete, framing, and mechanical rough-ins. Once the slab is poured, plumbing, radiant loops, and conduit runs are permanent — correcting them afterward can cost thousands to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on access and site conditions.

525+ Planning Decisions Across Seven Build Phases
Phase 0
Vision & Site Intent
Property use planning, utility corridors, wind/snow orientation, and setbacks.
Phase 1
Excavation & Underground
Grading, drainage, well/septic setbacks, and utility trenching.
Phase 2
Slab & Pre-Pour
Plumbing rough-ins, radiant loops, conduit, and hold-downs — irreversible once poured.
Phase 3
Framing & Envelope
Wall assembly, vapour barrier, weather barrier, and post-frame connections.
Phase 4
Mechanical, Kitchen & Bath
Duct routing, HRV/ERV, hydronic loops, and kitchen/bath rough-in planning.
Phase 5
Electrical & Infrastructure
Panel sizing, dedicated circuits, EV pre-wire, and low-voltage pathways.
Phase 6
Commissioning & Shop Systems
System verification, maintenance schedules, and shop functionality.
Built From a Real Project
IronField was built from the real-world planning of a 4,000-square-foot Ontario barndominium, combined with over 20 years of mechanical construction, operations, leadership, and trade-coordination experience.
The planning framework, phase sequencing, and systems-coordination lessons come from that real build. Structural engineering, code compliance, and stamped drawings for your specific site and municipality still require a licensed professional.

Built From Real Project Experience
IronField isn't a template pulled from a course. It comes from a real, documented Ontario barndominium build — including the mistakes that cost real money — and has been covered in two national trade and lifestyle publications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does IronField include?
525+ practical planning decisions across seven build phases — covering site work, slab preparation, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, structure, interiors, and commissioning.
Is IronField specific to Canada?
Yes. It's built around Canadian construction practices, provincial building codes, and rural realities like well, septic, and post-frame construction.
Does IronField replace an engineer or designer?
No. IronField provides planning, documentation, and trade-coordination tools. It does not replace licensed engineers, designers, builders, inspectors, or trades — final design, code compliance, permits, and approvals remain the responsibility of qualified professionals and your local authority having jurisdiction.
Can builders use it?
Yes. Builders and contractors use IronField to coordinate trades and reduce change orders, though the system is built primarily for owner-builders and homeowners planning their own project.
Is the $79 payment recurring?
No. It's a one-time payment per project — no subscription, no recurring fees.
Can I print or export my project?
Yes. Full access includes a structured, exportable project report you can share with a builder, lender, or inspector.
What happens after I purchase?
You get instant access — sign in with the same email you paid with and your project unlocks automatically.
