Barns make space for life, to create storage space, animal housing, and workshop areas. Custom barn designs fit your operation, whether you need equipment storage, livestock shelters, and feed protection. Well-built barns last 50+ years giving you practical workspace.

Site Preparation for Barn Construction in Ottawa

We take care of site prep including clearing, grading, and planning for drainage so that your barns last. Ottawa is surrounded by a variety of soils1, from peat to clay to sand to limestone, we've seen it all. Your barn footing needs well considered treatment and drainage systems to prevent settling. Proper site prep keeps your barn foundation stable all year.

Pole Barn Construction vs Post-and-Beam Methods

We'll maximize your space and budget, no matter what your goals are for your project. The two main types of construction are pole barn and post-and-beam.

Pole barn uses vertical posts set in concrete and horizontal boards to support siding. This method works well for large equipment storage and workshop spaces.

Post-and-beam construction uses heavy timber frames joined together, for great durability and aesthetic appeal. One major advantage is these structures tend to last longer. Both methods comply with the Ontario Building Code, the decision is based on your needs and budget.

Permits Required for Barn Construction in Ottawa

Building permits apply to barn construction in and around Ottawa, and many projects require architect sign off due to their size and use. Permit applications for barns can be complex, so we handle permits and schedule inspections to keep your project on track.
