Often, we have customers who call our office wanting a pole barn...and they want it now. In some cases, we can handle the job in a matter of days. Meanwhile, other post frame projects take a little bit longer to build...especially commercial buildings. Why? Because there are multiple steps that one must complete before construction can begin.

It’s the time of year that most people look forward to...nice weather! The days are getting longer, and the temperatures are warming up. Unless you live in the Midwest (like us) because Mother Nature loves to play tricks. Regardless, you can finally start working on the long list of outside projects, such as landscaping.

There are three kinds of people in this world: Those who go out and make things happen Those who sit and watch things happen Those who wonder what happened Since you’re reading this article about general contracting your pole barn or post frame building, there’s a pretty good chance that you fall under the “those who go out and make things happen” category. Sitting around and waiting for things to happen isn’t a part of your personality. You’re well aware that the only way something is going to get done is by going out and doing it yourself.

The million dollar question when building a pole barn is, “How do I know what size pole barn I will need?” It’s not uncommon for this question to come up during almost every conversation we have with our customers...and rightfully so. Figuring out what size you need can be a tough decision, especially if you’re thinking ahead about future building expansion.

Often, we have customers who call our office with the same pole barn questions. Frequent inquiries include: What is the average cost per square foot? Who should I use to finance my post frame project? How can I customize my building design (e.g., color combination and wainscoting)? Which structural components are covered by your pole barn warranty? Or, “I don’t live in your primary service area, but can you still build my structure?” The list goes on and on. We applaud our customers for asking these questions. In fact, we want them to ask us questions.
