Here at FBi Buildings, we have a daily influx of customers calling or sending messages via webchat asking, “How much does a pole barn cost?” This is a great question, but, unfortunately, there is no black and white answer. It's been over one year since COVID-19 became a global pandemic, and the reduced labor forces are still being felt. We all know that when you have supply issues, demand issues also start to rise.

Are you ready to expand your business and move into a new commercial building? If so, have you developed a clear vision for your construction project? Creating a solid strategy is the foundation for a successful post frame building. It’ll require some critical thinking from the involved parties.

Over time, buildings can lose their original luster. We’ve all seen it before–the paint is peeling off, the doors aren’t functioning, and that roof is going to cave in any day.

We want to help you spruce up your building.

Building a new pole barn can be complicated and time-consuming, especially if you’re not making a conscious effort to make headway. Your job doesn’t stop at the building design. In fact, it’s only getting started...

Who doesn’t love a good surprise? A surprise birthday party, surprise tickets to a game, you name it. But do you want to know a surprise that nobody wants? Finding out that there has been an accident on their job site–because that means more time and more money.
