Congratulations! You’ve finally decided to move forward with your pole barn building project. You know what size you want, you know what colors you’re going to choose, and you even know what the interior is going to look like.

Building a post frame building takes a lot of time, commitment, and dedication on the buyer’s end. There’s a lot of moving parts and pieces that go into the decision-making process, such as:

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. Maybe one morning you woke up to realize you want to refresh the building you love. It is full of history and memories, and you want to guarantee that it will last. We want to help you spruce up your building.

While it’s important to determine if a post-frame home is right for you, it’s just as important to figure out if you’re a right fit for a post-frame structure. You’re probably wondering why that’s even important because a pole barn has to be cheaper than stick-built, right? Well, not necessarily, and here’s why. It takes a certain type of homeowner to get the biggest bang for their buck with barndominium construction. But before we discuss who that ideal customer is, let’s cover the basics of post-frame construction and why people assume they’re a cost-effective solution for a brand-new home.
