Orton Companies designs and builds barndominiums in St. Cloud in Minnesota — living space, shop, and storage under one roof, detailed for Minnesota weather.
A shop-house in St. Cloud has to work as a home and as a building you can pull into. We plan the living layout with the bays, the doors, and the insulation so the structure is permitted for how you will actually use it. Design and construction stay with the same crew from the first sketch to move-in.
About 35–40 minutes northwest of the Big Lake yard
County
Stearns County (metro also reaches Benton and Sherburne)
Permitting
City of St. Cloud or the surrounding township / city (Sartell, Sauk Rapids, Waite Park)
License
MN License BC-809449 · 19060 253rd Avenue, Big Lake, MN 55309
St. Cloud is 35–40 minutes from 19060 253rd Avenue — farther than Elk River or Otsego, and worth the drive because it is a real regional market.
We build for St. Cloud owners who want a Big Lake design-to-build crew instead of a central Minnesota dealer with a long queue. City industrial jobs and rural Stearns County barns are both on the table; they do not share a template.
Barndominiums belong on acreage outside the dense core — Sartell-area and rural Stearns parcels more often than a downtown lot.
What St. Cloud sites usually need
St. Cloud is a full regional market: city lots, industrial ground, and agricultural parcels a few minutes west. Winter, snow, and a separate permit culture from the Twin Cities fringe are the site facts we plan around. We confirm which city or township you are actually in — Sartell is not St. Cloud.
Typical St. Cloud projects
Commercial shops and warehouse shells
Agricultural buildings west of the metro
Residential pole barns on surrounding acreage
Barndominiums on rural parcels outside the core

Minnesota work we do for St. Cloud owners
Finished buildings from the Big Lake crew — the same work we do for St. Cloud owners. When we complete a project there, it will sit here with the city and size.
Yes. Orton Companies designs and builds barndominiums in St. Cloud and throughout Central Minnesota — living space and shop under one post-frame roof.
Can you build a shop-house near St. Cloud?
Yes. Shop-houses with living space and garage or workshop bays are a regular build for St. Cloud landowners.
Do you handle the design and the construction?
Yes. The same Orton crew that draws the St. Cloud building can stand it up, so the living plan and the shop bays are one job.
Can a barndominium be a full-time home in St. Cloud?
Yes, when the parcel and the permit path allow living space. We confirm that before the floor plan gets expensive.
Do you build in St. Cloud, Sartell, and Sauk Rapids?
Yes. We treat the St. Cloud metro as one service cluster and confirm the exact city or township for permitting.
Do you build in St. Cloud?
It is 35–40 minutes — far enough that we schedule the trip, close enough that travel is in the bid from the start. No surprise add-on after we walk the site.
Do you build agricultural buildings west of St. Cloud?
Yes. Stearns County farm and equipment buildings are a regular part of the work we run from the Big Lake yard.
