Structural Integrity- Post-frame construction uses traditional concepts, improved upon with the latest in engineering technology, to create a sophisticated, visually-appealing structure. Post-frame buildings use standards long utilized in the construction industry to provide a well-engineered building.

Visual Appeal- How a post-frame building appears is entirely dependent upon how the owner decides to cover the structural frame.
Many accessories are available to dress up a building such as Wainscoat, Cupolas, Weather veins, Dormers, decorative trim, and much more.
The most commonly used material for post-frame buildings is metal sheeting, however post-frame buildings may be covered with almost any type of external and internal finishes. It could have wood siding, metal siding, vinyl siding, stucco, brick, or commercial roofing envelope.

Cost Efficiency- Eliminating up to 2/3 the lumber required for other kinds of constructiion, the post frame concept delivers the structural integrity you need without all the added expense.

Design Flexibility- The versatile nature of post frame construction makes for limitless possibilities. Post frame buildings can be anywhere from 1 - 3 stories tall, and they can even have basements. 

Energy Efficiency- Depending on the size of posts used, post-frame structures provide wall cavity space of at least 6 inches, which may be filled with a large amount of insulation.
The posts also provide good insulation, giving post-frame the potential to attain higher R-values (insulation ratings) than are possible with other kinds of buildings.

Durability- The projected life span of in-ground pressure treated lumber is estimated to be well over 100 years.

Post-frame structures are engineered to flex and return to their designed shape, making them resistant to extreme environmental and seismic loads.  

Speed of Construction- Post frame & Steel frame buildings can be assembled quickly and efficiently in only a matter of a few days to a few weeks depending on the size of the project.

Variety- Post frame & Steel frame buildings can serve almost any purpose, from commercial to residential, retail to academic, public to industrial. It could be a church with a steeple and cathedral ceilings. It could be a library, a fire station, or a schoolhouse. It could be a strip mall or convenience store. Perhaps it looks like a warehouse, a manufacturing facility, an airplane hangar, or even a financial institution. But maybe it looks instead like a nice house, a suburban garage, a spacious barn, a country club, or an office building. It could even be anywhere from one to three stories tall.

Code Conforming- Shallow Post Foundation Design, has been adopted as a reference to the 2003 international building code. ASAE EP 486.1 describes appropriate post embedment and is much more favorable to modern post-frame design and construction.

    With the IBC (International Building Code) now being adopted across the country, post-frame construction is recognized as a form of construction that is validated by this important building code.
Trusses are designed in accordance with the latest Truss Plate Institute specifications.     

    Each structure can be optimized to meet loading requirements as specified by the local building code or code official.

    Considerable engineering research ensures code-complying, reliable, durable buildings of all uses and styles.
