From farm shops and horse barns to suburban garages and multipurpose buildings , FBi Buildings ’ custom post frame constructions are designed to meet customers ’ specific needs . Founded in 1958 , on faith , family , and innovation , the company is in its third generation of family-run operations . This focus on family values weaves through the company culture , making the business stand out among more corporate competitors .
Culture is a key driver in any organization and FBi Buildings strives to foster a deeper purpose ; to support its people and the communities in which it operates . Integrity and trust are crucial to the company and the leadership team strives to instil those core values throughout the company .
“ In 2018 , we made a strategic internal shift within the company ,” begins Angie Dobson , Director of Marketing . “ We promoted from within and focused on different approaches that would not only help the market but help the growth of the company .”
From humble beginnings based in the founder ’ s home to over 200 employees today , FBi Buildings continues to champion its deeper purpose while delivering the best solutions to help its customers grow . Since its inception , FBi Buildings has been helping farmers , and agribusiness owners determine their farm building needs for current and future growth . It ’ s since gone on to branch out into other market segments , offering custom post frame buildings to suit a wide range of industry applications .
One of the benefits of using post frame construction is its design flexibility . FBi Buildings ’ constructions use wood frames with widely spaced columns , enabling windows , doors , and even interior walls to be positioned virtually anywhere to maximize space . While quick and energy efficient to construct , curb appeal is still very much front and center of the design . For commercial
applications in particular , aesthetics is vital to the success of the building , and FBi Buildings offers multiple attractive exterior features and finishes to increase foot traffic .
“ There are some misconceptions surrounding post frame construction ,” Angie continues , “ but we ’ re trying to educate people to understand the versatility of this construction method . Post frame construction tends to cost less than other methods , due in large part to more efficient use of materials and labor , but the opportunities for customization are endless . If a customer wants to match the existing buildings on their property , we can even do that ,” she elaborates .
