Buildings & Structures

Shops, barns, steel and post-frame buildings, commercial structures and custom homes — on ground we prepared ourselves.

From the pad up

Most contractors who put up buildings subcontract the dirt, and most contractors who move dirt do not put up buildings. We do both, which removes the most common source of delay and finger pointing on a building project — the seam between the site and the structure.

We build post-frame and pole buildings, steel and metal buildings, agricultural and equipment storage structures, commercial and light industrial buildings, and custom homes. Concrete work, framing and carpentry are done by our own crews.

Shops, barns and post-frame buildings

This is the most common building we get asked for: a shop or equipment building, somewhere between 30 by 40 and 100 feet wide, on a property that needs the pad cut and the approach built before anything can be set. Because we do the excavation, the pad, the concrete and the structure, you get one contract, one schedule and one person to call.

Commercial and agricultural structures

Larger clear-span steel and post-frame buildings for commercial, industrial and agricultural use, including the sitework, foundations, utilities and approaches that go with them.

Custom homes and residential carpentry

We build custom homes and do residential carpentry, including on difficult ground — hillside lots, sites that need retaining structures, properties where the driveway is a bigger engineering problem than the house.

Building on a site that needs work first? That is the version of this we do best. Talk to us about the ground and the building together, not separately — it is almost always cheaper that way.

Common questions

Questions we get asked

Do you build pole barns and shop buildings?

Yes. Post-frame and pole buildings, shops, equipment storage and agricultural buildings are a regular part of our work, including the sitework and concrete underneath them.

Can you do the site preparation as well as the building?

Yes, and this is the main reason to use us. We cut the pad, build the approach, run the utilities and put the building up under one contract.

Do you build custom homes?

Yes, including on difficult sites where the excavation, driveway or retaining work is a significant part of the project.

Do you build steel buildings?

Yes — steel and metal buildings alongside post-frame, including foundations and erection.

How do I get a price on a building?

Tell us the size, the use and where it is going. If you have a plan or a building quote already, send it over. If you do not, we can scope it from a description and a site visit.
