For over 10 years, Berkey-Brewer Construction Inc. (BBC) has been building quality post-frame construction projects, a method that has revolutionized building practices in the Willamette Valley. BBC has been at the forefront of this transformation since 2015.

What Is Post-Frame Construction?

Post-frame construction, commonly known as pole barn construction, utilizes large, spaced columns (or posts) as the primary support for a building’s frame. This method allows for:

• Efficient design and construction: Fewer materials and simpler foundations can reduce construction time and costs.
• Versatility: Whether you need a pole barn, shop, garage, or horse arena, post-frame construction can be customized to meet diverse requirements.
• Durability: When properly maintained, these structures can withstand harsh weather conditions and serve generations.

A Brief History in the Willamette Valley

The Willamette Valley has long been renowned for its agricultural heritage and innovative spirit. The introduction of post-frame construction methods in the region marked a significant shift in building practices:

• Economic efficiency: Traditional construction methods demanded extensive resources and labor. Post-frame buildings allowed property owners, farmers, and business owners to achieve robust structures with lower investment.
• Rapid deployment: In a region known for its dynamic agricultural and business landscape, installing a durable structure quickly was more important than ever. Post-frame construction enabled faster erection of pole barns, warehouses, and more.
• Adaptability: From hay barns protecting seasonal crops to modern retail storage solutions, post-frame construction fit the evolving needs of the Valley’s industries.

Benefits of Pole Barns and Post-Frame Structures

Pole buildings offer several advantages that have contributed to their growing popularity across the region:

1. Cost-effective construction: The streamlined design minimizes the amount of heavy materials required. This often means lower upfront costs and reduced long-term maintenance expenses.
2. Flexibility in design: With custom building plans, clients can design spaces that meet specific needs, whether it’s a multi-use facility, an RV storage area, or a livestock stall. This adaptability makes post-frame construction ideal for various sectors including hospitality, retail, and agricultural services.
3. Durability and longevity: When constructed with quality materials and maintained regularly, these buildings are engineered to withstand severe weather and environmental conditions, making them a lasting investment.
4. Quick construction timeline: The simplicity of the design process allows for faster project completion, an essential factor for businesses in need of quick turnaround times.
