View service →We build to a 90 MPH three-second gust wind load and a 20 PSF ground snow load on every project, the baseline for Greene County under current International Building Code tables, the calculation that determines post spacing, girt and purlin sizing. How the roof and wall steel share lateral wind load as a structural diaphragm.
Every post is 6x6 .60 CCA or ACQ pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact, set on four inches of crushed stone with concrete poured around the post rather than under it, the single foundation detail that determines how long a pole barn's structural posts actually last at ground level.
Industry-wide contractor cost guides put a post-frame shell, posts, trusses, roofing. Siding, without concrete or interior finish, at roughly $15 to $40 per square foot, with size, wall height, door count, and steel gauge the biggest swing factors inside that range. Site prep and land clearing commonly add another $2,000 to $8,000 depending on how much grading the lot needs. A poured concrete floor typically runs an additional $4 to $8 per square foot on top of the shell cost. We'll give you a written, itemized estimate specific to your project rather than a phone-quoted range.
We walk the property, discuss how the building will be used, and check zoning/permit requirements before drafting a design.
Every project is calculated to the 90 MPH wind load and 20 PSF snow load baseline, referencing IBC tables and NFBA standards.
Grading for ~5% drainage fall, footings 18–24 in. below grade, posts set on crushed stone with concrete around, not under, the post.
Posts, girts, and purlins go up, with roof and wall steel installed to function as a structural diaphragm.
Concrete flooring, electrical rough-in, insulation, and interior finish, scoped to how the building will be used.
“The crew explained exactly why they were doing the crushed stone base under our posts before pouring concrete, nobody else even mentioned it. Our shop has held up through two rough winters with zero issues.”
“We needed a barndominium that didn't feel like two separate buildings stuck together. They planned the shop and living side from one set of drawings and it shows.”
“Called them after a storm damaged part of our old barn's roof. They checked the whole structure's wind resistance, not just the obvious damage, which is more than the last contractor ever did.”
