Quality building details significantly impact the longevity and performance of a structure. Attention to components like holes, trusses, and fasteners, along with an understanding of their roles and proper installation techniques, is essential for achieving a robust and durable construction. Proper planning, material selection, and execution are key to ensuring that a building can withstand environmental stresses and serve its intended purpose effectively.
It is a structure where the roof is supported on posts instead of using a footing, foundation, and studded wall to support the roof.
The design eliminates the expensive footings and the need for an expensive truss system every 24" on center.
Post Frame is not only less expensive but since the roof is supported by posts instead of an engineered wall, it allows for additions or windows and door openings to be added with without additional engineering.
Wood post frame uses the same engineered load requirements as steel frame but doesn't have the expensive footing cost that aren't always mentioned when purchasing an all steel frame building.
NW Pole Structures can build structures spanning in excess of 72" without any interior posts.

Yes, most slabs are poured after the building is erected using the bottom treated boards of the building as form boards for the concrete.
All buildings whether metal or wood need to be properly vented and have a vapor barrier installed in the roof to eliminate excess moisture.
