Post-Frame Construction
The smart choice for large-scale buildings. Post-frame construction delivers exceptional value, durability, and versatility for shops, agricultural buildings, and commercial spaces.
What is Post-Frame Construction?
Post-frame construction (also known as pole building) uses large posts or columns as the primary structural framework, with the posts embedded in the ground or attached to a concrete foundation. This method creates clear-span interiors without the need for interior load-bearing walls.
At KB Construction, we've built dozens of post-frame structures across the Peace Region—from small farm shops to large commercial buildings. Our Red Seal certified team ensures every build meets the highest standards of quality and safety.
Post-Frame Building Types
- Farm & Agricultural Buildings: Equipment storage, hay barns, livestock shelters, and farm shops.
- Commercial & Retail: Warehouses, retail spaces, and light industrial facilities.
- Personal Shops & Garages: Large garages, hobby shops, and recreational vehicle storage.
- Horse Facilities: Riding arenas, stables, and equestrian centers.
- Aviation Buildings: Hangars and aircraft storage facilities.
Benefits of Post-Frame
Post-frame construction offers significant advantages for Peace Region property owners:
- Cost-Effective: Typically 30-50% less expensive than conventional steel frame construction.
- Fast Construction: Fewer components mean faster build times and earlier occupancy.
- Clear-Span Interiors: No interior columns means maximum usable space and flexibility.
- Energy Efficient: Easy to insulate with excellent thermal performance.
- Design Flexibility: Easily accommodates doors, windows, and future modifications.
- Durability: Engineered to withstand Peace Region's heavy snow loads and high winds.
