“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.”

Insulated Workshop Building FAQs

How much does a workshop building 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. Workshop buildings can often range from $35 to $50 per square foot, with additional costs of approximately $35 per square foot for insulation. Final pricing depends on unique factors such as building size, insulation solutions, necessary sitework, personal preferences for finishes, and the building’s mechanical, electrical, or plumbing needs.

What’s the best insulation for workshop buildings?

The best insulation is the assembly that fits your post-frame building’s use. In the walls, a solid starting point includes house wrap, fiberglass batts, and a vapor barrier. Adding open- or closed-cell spray foam maximizes sealing and R-value. A continuous vapor barrier and 10 to 16 inches of blown-in cellulose add insulation efficiency in ceilings.

What heating options serve farms’ insulated workshops best?

Most workshops do well with a primary heat source sized to the envelope and use, such as radiant tube heating for open bays, unit heaters for flexible zoning, and in-floor radiant heat where you want a warm, dry slab. The tighter we make the envelope, the smaller the necessary heater and the steadier the comfort. We design the insulation and air and vapor control first so your heat dollars work harder.

How long will a Meyer Building insulated workshop last?

With quality materials, proper insulation, and good ventilation, a Meyer Building insulated workshop can last for generations with minimal maintenance and upkeep.

Can I expand my insulated workshop building later?

Yes. If the foundation and truss designs support it, future expansion can add lean-tos, bays, or lofts to your existing insulated workshop building. Planning for potential expansion during the initial design and build process saves on lifetime ownership expenses compared to costly retrofitting.

What permits are necessary for an insulated workshop building?

Specific permitting requirements vary by county or township. Most farms need zoning approval and building permits, which Meyer Building acquires and navigates from start to finish.
