In-person trade shows are back, and we’re looking forward to attending the nation’s largest outdoor event – the Farm Progress Show.

In the fall of 2020, FBi Buildings introduced the QLYFT building system, an unprecedented way of erecting post-frame structures on the ground. Yes, you read that right. We’re building pole barns on the ground and raising them to the desired height. We created this construction method to improve crew safety while taking product quality to the next level.

“Do you have room in your construction schedule to build my pole barn?” This question is frequently asked by customers who want to put up a post-frame building by the end of the year.

“Can I build a new pole barn on existing concrete?” This question is frequently asked by customers who have property with a sizeable concrete slab, whether it be: An outdoor basketball court that is no longer used An older building (e.g., corn crib) was torn down Or the original structure was a total loss in a fire To answer the question at hand, yes, you can build a new pole barn on existing concrete. However, just because it can be done doesn’t mean it’s the best option for you.

When selecting a post frame builder, consumers are first concerned with service area and cost. We hear it all the time from our customers via email, phone, and social media. “Do you build in this county and state?” or “How much does a __’ x __’ pole barn cost?”

“There’s a better way to do it – find it.” This fundamental truth has been one of FBi Buildings’ guiding principles since our founding in 1958. During our 60+ years of business, we’ve consistently pushed the boundaries to find and use high-quality building materials so your pole barn can withstand the test of time.
