We Start With A Strong Foundation
Our load-bearing poles are placed on at least 10-inch concrete footers for a stronger foundation.
Always Here For You
Your Building Expert is here every step of the way, ensuring everything progresses smoothly, with site visits during planning, estimating, designing and building stages.
Small Details Can Make A Big Difference
We fasten metal cladding with #114 screws, every two inches, as per manufacturer's specifications.
Sturdy Stud-Framed Construction
Our structures are built with solid and secured stud-framed walls to stand the test of time.
Engineered Trusses You Can Trust
Our trusses are positioned at four-foot on center, bolted to the pole for added strength and hold down, and also engineered for your wind and snow loads.
Multi-Ply Girder Trusses for Strength and Clearance
Our multi-ply girder truss system supports weight and reduces stress on the building's roof while allowing bi-fold doors to open at the full building height.
