Look for the NFBA logo Before you Select a Contractor
Just how many differences exist from builder to builder? Perhaps surprisingly,
it is far more that you might realize. The fact is that acquiring expertise in a
modern post-frame building design demands that contractors make a 100%
commitment to this unique method of construction if they are to stay abreast of
ever-changing, ever-improving technology. Unfortunately, that’s not always the
case.
The National Frame Builders Association is comprised of professional post-frame
contractors across the country. Before being considered for membership, a
contractor must have been in business and established a reputation for quality
in every aspect of their business over a period of years. The NFBA membership
committee requires references so that business practices along with the
financial stability of the company can be verified.
If you are considering a new post-frame structure, look for the NFBA logo. That
is your assurance that the contractor you are considering is a post-frame
building professional.
When it comes to making a significant capital investment in a new building, can
you afford to take a risk by selecting a contractor that just doesn’t have the
credentials necessary to ensure you are getting the best?
So select an NFBA member for that new post-frame building, you’ll be glad
that you did.
Our company is a proud member of the National Frame Builders Association. We
hope you will consider us first when considering a contractor for your new
post-frame building.
All current NFBA members are listed on the association’s website at:

Here’s why it is important that your new building be erected by a member of
the National Frame Builders Association.
The National Frame Builders Association is an organization dedicated to
professionalism in every aspect of a post-frame contractor’s business. NFBA
members voluntarily comply with association guidelines and Standards of
Professional Conduct, and adhere to the most current design standards and
business management practices. They make a commitment to
employee training and safety in construction practices and to community service
through active involvement.
NFBA is an organization that aggressively pursues research and the development
of engineering practices and design standards on all aspects of post-frame
construction. It has been by virtue on NFBA’s leadership and representation of
the industry that today’s post-frame structures are backed up by accepted and
recognized engineering practices, and that post-frame structures are code
conforming.
When you do business with an NFBA member, you can be assured of doing business
with a company that is abreast of the latest design standards and construction
tolerances that govern the erection of your new post-frame building.
Membership in the National Frame Builders Association is NOT for everyone. It
requires the commitment of the individual builder to comply with association
performance guidelines and professional conduct. Many companies choose not to
make this commitment.
