What people build in Kaufman
Town lots and agricultural land, where the zoning district changes what’s allowed.
Horse & livestock barns
On Agriculture-Open land, set well back from homes and lines. Red iron takes over past eighty feet.
Detached garages
Finished to complement the house. Tubular steel suits the size.
Shops
One story, behind the house, with plans that include footing details.
Barndominiums
Steel truss is the fit. Drywall attaches to the frame, so there’s no second wall to build.
