The History of FBi Buildings
Growing up, Megan became increasingly interested in the business side of her family’s farming operation so she attended and graduated from Purdue University with Bachelor of Science Degrees in Finance and Marketing. In 2018, she joined the FBi team to manage social media outlets and create creative media content. Megan’s previous work experience is operations based in the banking industry. Outside of work, she spends her time taking Pure Barre classes, going on water and snow sport trips and trying new restaurants.
Building Your Post-Frame Project with Confidence: Why FBi Buildings is Different
Deciding to build a pole barn or post-frame building is a significant investment. From the initial planning stages to the finishing touches, the team you choose to design and construct your building shapes your entire experience. At FBi Buildings, we understand that this isn’t just about putting up walls and a roof—it’s about creating a structure that meets your specific needs, stands the test of time, and provides peace of mind every step of the way.
Since 1958, FBi Buildings has been dedicated to delivering post-frame buildings with a focus on quality, innovation, and customer service. Over six decades, we’ve invested in people, technology, and processes to ensure our clients have access to a team of forward-thinking professionals who can bring any building vision to life. Our team isn’t just building structures—they’re building confidence in every project.
In a recent video, Ed Bahler, shares his personal journey growing up watching his father, FBi Buildings’ founder, grow the company on a foundation of family values. Ed answers questions that many customers have, including how FBi Buildings got its name and what “FBi” stands for. Beyond the name, this insight highlights the culture of trust, integrity, and craftsmanship that drives every project.
While many people associate FBi Buildings with agriculture and farm shops, our expertise extends far beyond. Pole barn construction is a versatile solution for commercial, suburban, and equine projects as well. The video showcases a variety of exterior and interior examples of our unique commercial buildings, giving you a glimpse of the possibilities when you partner with us.
Currently, FBi Buildings serves Indiana and Illinois, with select counties in Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, and Missouri. In 2025, to better serve customers in Iowa, we acquired Eastern Iowa Building, a company with more than 20 years of post-frame experience. For projects outside these areas, we’re happy to review requests and determine whether we can bring your vision to life.
At FBi Buildings, we’re built different—our mission is to empower customers with confidence in their buildings. Have questions about pole barn construction that weren’t covered here or in the video? Call us at 1.800.552.2981 or email us directly.
