“My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Meyer Building to construct a pole barn, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience! From the initial consultation to the final touches, their team was incredibly professional and attentive. They took the time to understand our needs and preferences, making sure every detail was just right.”

Darrin W.

“We are very happy with our new barn from Meyer Building. We had a big tornado take down all of the buildings we had. They came out and saw what happened and got our new building built quickly. We are very pleased with it. The people at Meyer Buildings were really nice people to deal with.”

Emily J.

“I spent many hours on the phone with various barn builders trying to find the right company and I kept going back to Meyer Building as my first pick. All of the employees were professional and were easy to work with. We are very happy with our building and would definitely hire Meyer Building again.”

“Everyone at Meyer Building was outstanding to work with. From the beginning design stage to handing us the keys, it was a great experience.

We love our barn and would highly recommend Meyer Building!”

Community Venue FAQs

 

How much does a post-frame community venue cost?

As a custom post-frame builder, Meyer Building specializes in designing each project to your needs without “standard” prices associated with a “standard” building. Post-frame buildings often begin from $35 to $50 per square foot, with additional costs of approximately $35 per square foot for insulation, as well as other costs for finishes and the full scope of the project. Final pricing depends on unique factors such as structure size, insulation solutions, necessary sitework, personal preferences for finishes, and the building’s mechanical, electrical, or plumbing needs.

How long will a Meyer Building community venue last?

With quality materials, proper insulation, and good ventilation, a Meyer Building post-frame structure can serve your organization and stand strong for generations with minimal maintenance and upkeep.

Can we expand our community venue later?

Yes. If the foundation and truss designs support it, future expansion can be simple and straightforward. Planning for potential expansion during the initial design and build process helps save on lifetime ownership expenses.

What permits are necessary for a community venue?

Specific permitting requirements vary by county or township and local building code regulations. Most properties need zoning approval and building permits, which Meyer Building acquires and navigates on your behalf from start to finish.

Can you prepare a competitive bid, align with our delivery method, & support grants?

Yes. Meyer Building prices transparently and works within design-build, design-bid-build, construction manager as contractor (CMC), or build-operate-transfer (BOT) methods. We create concept drawings, scope narratives, schedules, and budget ranges you can use in grant applications, then coordinate submittals, permitting, and inspections to keep the project moving.

Can you phase the project around funding cycles & ongoing programs?

Absolutely. We master-plan the site, size utilities for future wings, and use bid alternates to add or defer spaces. We stage work to keep your programs open, and we design for clean tie-ins when you add square footage later.
