Save time and money. Get a great building. 

Post frame construction is a cost-effective and energy efficient alternative to conventional building methods. Construction is quick and the buildings are built to last. This makes post frame ideal for farms, acreages, businesses, and country homes.

Post frame construction columns installation

Columns

Large, widely spaced supporting columns are buried 5 to 6 feet deep, making the building extremely stable while transferring wind and snow loads to the foundation.

Post frame construction strapping installation

Strapping

Horizontal strapping connects the post columns, creating a strong diaphragm system that meets and exceeds load requirements for both snow and wind.

Post frame construction truss installation

Trusses

Trusses are directly secured to the post column frame, making it an exceptionally strong overall system.

Post frame construction cladding installation

Cladding

Durable exterior cladding adds resilience to the entire structure, and provides protection from unpredictable Alberta weather.

Foundation

The foundation consists of pressure-treated laminated columns or pre-cast concrete Perma-Columns, or polyurethane sleeve “grade guards” that protect against moisture.

Advantages of Post Frame Construction

Building icon

Lower construction costs

Post frame construction is 30% less expensive than building with steel, due to the differences in material costs and difficulty of labour.

Weather icon

Build year-round

Post frame buildings begin with posts in the ground, so you don't have to wait for the ideal weather to pour a concrete foundation.

Solid construction

Solid posts or laminated columns transfer loads to the ground, to a concrete pier, or to a masonry foundation beneath each post.

Energy icon

Energy efficiency

Posts are spaced farther apart than studs would be. The larger wall cavity for insulation lowers heating and cooling costs by up to 20%.

Time icon

Faster construction

Buildings can be completed up to 50% faster, because large posts and interlocking frames use less structural material than other methods.

Practical and versatile

Post frame is an attractive and economical option for low-rise residential, agricultural, equestrian, and commercial projects.
