Information note:
CONCRETE FOOTERS: If engineering is required, more than likely your barn will need concrete footers (see example).
This is an extra cost paid to the builder onsite. Our builder will charge you for the concrete cost and the labor for installation. This cost will vary pending the size of the hole.

Concrete Rough numbers since concrete cost can vary. Not all holes need concrete, mostly with engineered buildings: Once engineering comes back these prices will have you prepared for the cost.
24" Diameter hole is $100 - $150 per hole
30" Diameter hole is $175 - $200 per hole
36" Diameter hole is $200 - $225 per hole / over 36" TBD
Concrete is used for "uplift" that is why certain jurisdictions will require that and added rebar. They do not want your building to lift up in a windstorm.
We highly suggest post protectors if using concrete as the concrete can decay the integrity of the post over a long period of time. Let us know if you want post protectors added.
We have other footer options as well such as Perma Column and Concrete brackets. Please let us know if you want more information on these products.
For very rocky conditions: A soils report will be required. Also if the builder runs into a rocky soils, you will be responsible for any extra cost such as equipment rental and time to remove the rock so we are able to put the footers in.
