Wick serves numerous sectors, with pole barn house plans, and additional plans for:

  • Agricultural buildings
  • Commercial buildings
  • Equestrian
  • Residential
  • Shouse
  • Suburban buildings
  • Pole barns

Residential consumers often opt for one of two types of houses: a shouse or a pole barn with living quarters.

Wick Shouse

A shouse, or a shop and house, is a building that acts as a shop and house mixed. The building can offer a shop, workspace and living quarters in a single building. The living quarters can be lived in part-time or full-time.

Pole barn home plans meet local building codes and ensure that they’re able to meet all codes for:

  • Egress
  • Lighting
  • Venting
  • Wind loads
  • Snow loads

The building will also meet design codes for energy efficiency, HVSC, plumbing and other local requirements. Since these structures are able to be lived in, they must meet all local codes.

Buildings can be constructed as everything from larger storage spaces to single wing structures and multi-wing buildings. Layouts are completely flexible to allow you to create a structure that best meets your needs.

Interior design is easy because there are no load bearing walls unless you want to have an interior deck added to the second floor, which is the location where most people will put their interior living space.

Porch coverings, vaulted ceilings, state-of-the-art kitchens – they can all be part of the design process.

When it comes to materials, the finest materials possible are used in every building. Lumber is all machine graded to ensure that all of the structure’s structural components meet the highest standards.

The steel used in the design has a minimum PSI hardness of 80,000. Exterior steel components are constructed using G-90 galvanized steel, which protects the material from corrosion. Paint is guaranteed not to crack or chip for 40 years.

Since every building is different, the engineers and architects at Wick Buildings will assist all customers to construct a building that meets their design and functionality needs. Multiple Wick Shouse post frame builds are available.

Pole barns are a top choice for many would-be customers because they offer a fast, functional build, whether it be for storage or aesthetics, a pole barn can meet your needs. Pole barns can be used for:

  • Cabins
  • Homes
  • Garages
  • Sheds

Post frame builds are buildings that are made with laminated wood columns for the frame and connect to a wooden sidewall grit. The roof utilizes trusses that connect to the building’s purlins to offer a unique system specifically for post-frame buildings.

Wick knows that when it comes to cost, cheap means that quality suffers.

When working Wick, you’ll find that a lot of factors will play a role in the overall cost of the building, including materials, quality and labor. The designer, engineer and architect will work closely with the consumer to specify the project’s scope and help you determine costs early on.

Project size and scale adds to the price, but Wick works closely within the consumer’s budget to find a project to fit inside of your budget. It may be possible to adjust design choices and options to lower costs and better fit into budgets.
