At POST we continue to strive to ensure that we understand building systems. We don’t get caught in the rut of building without thinking. We understand that our world continues to develop and transform and we want to be sure that we can offer our clients the right building system for their project.

Some of the construction styles POST can utilize to build your next project include:

• Timber Frame Construction. Utilizing large timbers (recycled or new) to create a structure or a portion of structure to be authentic or to recreate authentic mortice and tendon timber construction or post and beam construction.
• P. Eng. Steel Building Systems by Robertson Buildings. Common to commercial construction and used at times in Agriculture construction, the P.Eng Steel Building system offers good solutions for large commercial construction or large agricultural construction such as large span riding arenas.
• SIP (Structural Insulated Panel) Construction. A wall and roof system that assembles efficiently providing structural integrity and superior insulation and minimal thermal break via Styrofoam coated panels that include a wood structure.
• ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) Wall Construction. A good solution where durability and energy efficiency are desired. With R-values of R-50 this solution is a great way to create efficiency in your next home or office.

• HSS Posts; GluLam Truss Systems and Insulated Steel Panels by Hoermann Building Systems, Germany. Relatively new to Canada’s agricultural market, but tried tested and true in the commercial market or in Europe’s agricultural market. This building system offers impressive style, clearances, and much natural height.
