Question: Why should I choose Post-Frame construction over steel or masonry constuction for my new building?

Answer: Post-frame is superior to these methods in three ways. (1) You will enjoy increased energy efficiency and the lower heating and cooling bills that go with it for years to come. (2) The wide range of attractive and flexible design features are simply unmatched. (3) Perhaps the most important, it provides more strength and structural integrity for your building dollar.

Question: How will using post-frame construction method for my building save me money over the convention construction methods?

Answer: Building system cost savings are considerable. Savings can be realized in:

Materials
Labor due to shorter construction time
The use of more cost-effective construction equipment
Lower interst costs due to quicker erection
Less building maintenance requied
Energy savings due to natural insulating proerties of wood and its inherent ability to effectively insulate the wall and roof cavities
When making cost comparisions, it is important to compare in-place systems costs and estimate the future maintenance and cooling costs for all building types being considered.
