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 WINDOW AND DOOR OPENINGS TO BE ADDED WITHOUT ADDITIONAL ENGINERING
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 FRAMED BUILDING.
NW POLE STRUCTURES CAN BUILD STRUCTURES SPANNING IN EXCESS OF 72’ WITHOUT ANY INTERIOR POSTS.
FOR ROOFING WE OFFER: EXPOSED FASTNER, SNAPLOCK STEEL PAINTED, GALVALUME ROOFING SYSTEMS, AND COMP ROOFING.
FOR SIDING WE OFFER: STEEL, WOOD, LP, AND CONCRETE PRODUCTS.
18” OVERHANGS ARE STANDARD BUT UP TO 48” HAS BEEN ACHIEVED IN SOME CASES. 4/12 ROOF PITCH IS STANDARD BUT MANY OTHER PITCHS ARE AVAILABLE DEPENDING YOUR DESIGN NEEDS.
WE NEED A LEVEL BUILDING LOT TO START CONSTRUCTION AND A FLAT FINAL GRADE BEFORE POURING YOUR CONCRETE SLAB.
WE HAVE EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN OBTAINING PERMITS AND ARE HAPPY TO OFFER PERMIT SERVICES IN YOUR BUILDING PACKAGE.
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.
