Five Steps from Concept to Handover

01

The Idea

Built-Mor works with the client on the building's purpose, approximate size, configuration and basic requirements.

02

The Site and Floor Plan

Built-Mor works with the client to settle the location and the floor plan: the exterior walls and how the building will look, not the interior walls.

03

Owner Obtains Permits and Prepares the Site

Built-Mor gives the owner the plans for the city or county. The owner obtains the building permit and prepares the site.

04

Built-Mor Constructs the Building Shell

Built-Mor builds the building shell.

05

Handover for Owner-Managed Interior Completion

The owner manages interior completion.

What You Don't See

Double Column Anchors

Doubled columns tie into the footing with anchors, so wind and uplift loads travel into the ground.

No-Splice Support Columns

Each column runs as one continuous piece, so there is no splice to weaken the wall.

Steel Purlin Hanger

Steel hangers hold each roof purlin to the truss with an engineered metal connection, not nails alone.

Questions Built-Mor gets asked

What are post-frame metal buildings?

Post-frame metal buildings, also known as pole barns, are engineered structures built using strong vertical columns and horizontal beams, covered with metal panels. The method creates durable, cost-effective buildings that need minimal site preparation.

What is a barndominium?

A barndominium combines living space with a workshop, garage or storage area in a single post-frame structure. It offers modern living amenities while keeping the practical advantages of post-frame construction.

What advantages do post-frame buildings offer?

Lower construction costs than traditional buildings, a faster construction timeline, superior energy efficiency, flexible open floor plans, excellent durability against weather, minimal foundation requirements and low maintenance needs.

Are post-frame buildings good for storage?

Yes. They give clear-span interior space, allow large door openings, offer flexible layout options, deliver cost-effective square footage and need minimal maintenance.

“We had a great experience with Built-Mor Buildings. Rick was knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to walk us through every step of the building process, including all available options. Our 60x40 machine shed was up in just one week from start to finish, and the quality truly shows — solid, sound construction built to last.”
