Benton County, Iowa · 4,800 Square Feet · 11-Day Build
Steel Roof · Clearspan · Concrete Slab Interior
Post-frame construction has built the working backbone of rural America for eighty years. We sink the posts, raise the steel, and hand you a structure that outlasts the mortgage — hay barns with cathedral clearspans, insulated shops where welders work through February, cold storage that keeps a dairy operation alive.

Calving Barn · Benton County, IA
Spring Issue · Agricultural Builds
"Eleven days from the first post in the ground to locking the overhead door. I've been farming this land thirty years and never seen a crew move like that."
Dale Herschberger
Third-generation cattle farmer, Benton County, Iowa
Dale had been calving in an open-sided lean-to for six seasons. When the herd grew past 140 head, he needed a dedicated structure before the next February. We broke ground on a Monday. The overhead doors were hung by the following Friday of the second week.
Summer Issue · Commercial Builds
"I was paying $2,100 a month to lease a bay I could barely turn a zero-turn around in. My per-square-foot cost on this building was $34. Do the math."
Marcus Prewitt
Owner, Prewitt Small Engine & Fabrication, Polk County, MO
Marcus ran his engine shop out of a rented bay for eleven years. The math on ownership versus leasing was never clearer than when he got our quote. Three overhead doors, a 200-amp service panel, and a finished interior — owner-occupied in under six weeks.
Commercial Workshop · Polk County, MO
Hobby Workshop · Douglas County, KS
Fall Issue · Hobby & Residential Builds
"I had the sketch on a napkin for nine years. When I finally called Truss, they treated it like a blueprint. Six weeks later I was running my table saw."
Renata Kowalski
Hobby woodworker & retired school principal, Douglas County, KS
Renata's build is what we call a 'napkin project' — the kind that lives in someone's head for years before it becomes real. A 1,600 sq ft finished workshop with mini-split conditioning, LED shop lighting, and 12-foot clearance for her cabinet pieces. The sketch became a building in forty-one days.
