Undertaking a large-scale project like building a barn is much less scary than it seems. As with any construction, high-quality planning can ease much of the stress.
We here at Milmar understand the process of adding a post-frame structure to your backyard. We’ve been a leader in the Midwest in producing commercial, residential and agricultural barns in Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Ohio. We use Amish craftsmanship to give our customers something on their property to be proud of. We’re still scheduling out projects for the spring, so act fast in booking your construction consultation.
Here a few reminders when considering your project:
You’ll Need a Good Deal of Space — Owning land is a good starting point for your post-frame structure. If you’re beginning a project that requires a pole barn and need help finding a lot, make sure to buy a large enough plot of land. Real estate is one of the greatest costs involved in a project, so if the cost is too great consider bringing on extra investors or finding a less obvious property to construct your barn. With the right contractor, anything is possible.
Keep It Modest If You're Needing to Watch Your Budget — Often times, when planning a barn you want to determine its uses with your contractor. If you need to save on cost, don’t spend money on frivolities if the purpose of your barn is to store livestock. Make sure you are getting the essential requirements for your project if choosing an agricultural or commercial barn. If you are trying to piece together a beautiful addition to your residence, work with a designer to figure out where you might be able to save on parts or design. Customization can come at a cost, and it’s in no one’s best interest to have a dissatisfied customer who’s over budget.
Financing — New construction is always a tough pill to swallow. The beauty of a simple post-frame structure is that it’s, well, simple. A typical loan from the bank is a sufficient way to price out this type of product. In 2016, it’s important to understand that the federal interest rate is predicted to rise after the FED elevated it for the first time in ten years. Banks are encouraging people to refinance now, as locking in the best long term rate will only become more difficult moving forward.
