Beginning a project as large and comprehensive as building a post frame structure involves a great deal of planning — both financially and logistically. Undertaking such a build involves plotting land, deciding on designs and materials, and figuring out the human element of having people on your property constantly.
At Milmar, we know what is takes to complete a big renovation. We’ve completed numerous residential, commercial and agricultural builds for home and business owners in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky, and understand that putting your pole barn blueprints into action can be overwhelming. Having proper expectations for how long a post frame structure takes to complete — and the costs incurred along the way — can help make the project stress free.
Building Codes
Part of the beauty of owning enough space for a pole barn is that you get to do anything you want with your property — within reason. We’ll help you do your due diligence in researching the local codes and the requirements for your barn. Failure in this department can be devastating, as doubling back on a project, waiting for permits, and failing inspections can be frustrating and time consuming — and it will leave you with a sour taste in your mouth about the whole process. But following codes from the outset of your project can ensure that your structure is able to withstand the rigors. On projects like pole barn, staying compliant means checking your steps.
Because a pole barn is such a simple structure, there aren’t as many steps to follow as, say, a house. But properly laying the foundation, ensuring the posts are sturdy, the roof is secure and free of air leaks, and the interior space stands up for whatever purpose your pole barn demands can keep your project going.
How Long Should I Expect My Barn to Construct
It’s very important to understand that each project is different and certain aspects of construction might take longer than expected based upon unforeseen problems and uncontrollable variables. Traditionally, a pole barn should take less than six weeks and can be completed in as quickly as four. Having a contractor that completes a system of checks and balances along the way to stay on task is imperative.
We have an excellent track record in finishing pole barns to the liking of our customers, and we guarantee that if a mistake is made on your building that we will fix it.
We hope you have a very happy holiday, and give us a call when budgeting a barn for 2016.
