Barndominiums & shops, from bare ground up.
GeothermalKC prepares the site, pours the slab & builds the barndominium, shop or shouse on it, with drainage, utilities, drive & geothermal heating & cooling handled under the same contract.
One contract for the land, the slab & the building
A barndominium or large shop is mostly a site project before it is a building project. Clearing, the building pad, drainage, utility trenches & the drive all have to be right before the slab is poured. GeothermalKC handles that ground work in house, then carries the project through to the finished building.
Acreage around Kansas City suits these builds, & open ground also suits a horizontal geothermal loop field, which can be dug while the equipment is already on site.
One company from the first dig to the finished building, for residential, agricultural & light commercial projects across the Kansas City metro & surrounding counties.
