Step 1: Quote & contract
Tell us what you need. Our designers put together drawings and an organized, easy-to-read quote, then work through the details with you until the building is yours.
Commercial pole buildings and additions for businesses that need room.
Shops, showrooms, service bays and additions, drawn and permitted for your business and built without the wait.
More space, without slowing the business down.
Growing businesses on Delmarva come to us for the same reason farmers have for generations: post-frame buildings go up efficiently, span wide without interior columns, and leave the floor open for whatever the business needs. That makes them a natural fit for shops, storage, service bays, showrooms and additions.
Our commercial work includes the addition at Salted Vines Vineyard & Winery in Frankford, with its barrel room, laboratory and bottling room; a new section for Shaka Shack in Millville with tall ceilings and concrete floors; a building for a local trash-can cleaning company; and an equipment dealership with service bays and a covered porch. Each one started with the way the business runs.
Every building comes with
- Drawings and an organized, easy-to-read quote
- Permits handled for you, start to finish
- Amish-built by our crews, with a project manager keeping you posted
- Final payment after the county’s final inspection
- 5-year workmanship warranty, plus the material makers’ warranties
- Financing available through HFS Financial

Planning a commercial building.
Start with how the space will run
Walk us through a normal day: where deliveries come in, how equipment moves, where customers go and where they don’t. That decides the door sizes, the clear span, the ceiling height and where the finished and unfinished spaces sit.
Commercial code and site plans
Commercial buildings are built to the commercial code, which brings requirements a garage or barn does not, such as accessibility, egress and fire separation, and they usually need a site plan with parking, stormwater and entrances. Larger projects can also trigger a land development review. We prepare the drawings, coordinate with the county or town, and keep the approvals moving.
Additions that tie in cleanly
An addition has to meet the existing building at the roof, the walls and the floor, and keep the business open while it’s built. Post-frame additions are well suited to that: the frame goes up around the work you’re already doing, then the connection is made.
Timeline and budget
Permitting is often the longest part of a commercial project, so the sooner drawings start, the sooner you can build. We’ll give you an organized, easy-to-read quote and lay out the payment draws in the contract, with final payment after the county’s final inspection.

Three easy steps.
One team handles the drawings, the permits and the build, and keeps you posted the whole way.
Step 2: Permits
We manage the permits for you, wherever you live. Homes usually take 3 to 5 months to permit, depending on the county. Garages and farm buildings move faster.
Step 3: Construction
Our crews build it and our project managers keep you posted every step of the way. Final payment comes after the county’s final inspection.
Questions we hear about this.
Still wondering about something? Call us at 302-399-4420.
Do you build commercial buildings and additions?
Yes. Our commercial work includes the winery addition at Salted Vines Vineyard & Winery in Frankford, a restaurant addition for Shaka Shack in Millville, a building for a trash-can cleaning company and an equipment dealership. We design, permit and build them.
Can you build an addition while my business stays open?
In most cases, yes. A post-frame addition goes up next to the existing building and is tied in at the end. We plan the work around your hours and access.
Do commercial buildings need different permits?
Yes. They’re built to the commercial building code and usually need a site plan, and larger projects can need a land development review. We prepare the drawings and handle the approvals with your county or town.
Can I finance a commercial building?
Our partner HFS Financial offers personal home-improvement loans, which suit residential projects. For a business building, talk with your bank early; they’ll want drawings and a contract, which we provide.
