Most building projects can be separated into three basic parts: research, planning, and building. The construction of a pole building in Ohio is no exception. If you intend to build new post frame buildings in Ohio soon, don’t skip or shortcut the construction research and planning phases. You will regret it later if you do.

 

 

 

 

Research

Before making detailed plans for your new pole building in Ohio, several matters must be investigated carefully. Make sure you understand:

  • What building permits are required in your area?
  • How far does your building need to be from public roadways, power lines, and property lines?
  • What do you plan on using your new building for?
  • How big does your building need to be? How big should the doors be?
  • Is the intended location of your new custom pole barns in Ohio subject to flooding?
  • Is the intended location of your new building relatively flat? Will it need significant leveling?
  • How far is the intended location of your new building from electrical connections, fresh water, and sewage systems?

Planning

Only after you have answered the questions above is it wise to start a detailed plan. Your plan should include detailed building plans, site preparation, utilities, permitting, a calendar, and a detailed budget.

Building Plans and Site Preparation

Adequate building plans and site preparation are perhaps the most complex parts of the plan. If you plan on storing a tractor or RV in your new building, ensure that the building is tall enough and that the door is big enough (height and width).

Utilities and Permitting

Make sure you understand the process for connecting to any existing utilities, the time frame, cost, and required permits for your building.

Calendar

Your builder should be able to give you a reasonable estimate of when they will be able to start construction and how long construction should take. Nonetheless, there are many other important dates. You also need to schedule site preparation, permits, building inspections, important payments, utility connections, and more.

Budget

The only way a budget is valuable is if it includes everything. Many building owners underestimate how much the finer details of construction, utilities, and permitting will cost. These costs vary from building to building, so don’t expect your custom post frame builders in Ohio to provide an accurate estimate of everything for you. We also recommend adding about ten percent to your estimated expenses when creating a budget. Hopefully, this will cover anything unexpected that might arise during construction.
