Planning Your Custom Building Project in Nebraska & Iowa

From inception to completion, the post-frame building experts at Astro Buildings collaborate with homeowners to navigate construction complexities while ensuring efficiency, quality, and satisfaction. Let’s explore the critical steps to planning a successful custom building project in the Nebraska and Iowa regions.

1. Initial Consultation

The post-frame construction journey begins with an initial consultation for the building. The homeowner and contractor typically have several discussions that set the stage for mutual understanding, open communication, and goal alignment. These discussions allow the contractor to better understand the homeowner’s vision, budgetary constraints, preferences, and timeline considerations.

Post-frame building contractors also bring invaluable insights, guiding clients through feasibility assessments, regulatory considerations, and site evaluations. The initial consultation is the steppingstone to ensuring a successful building project.

2. Design & Planning

At this stage, the contractor should clearly understand the client’s vision. The design and planning phase involves interactive discussions and structural drawings to ensure every aspect of the customized building project aligns with the client’s aspirations and practical requirements.

All parties should discuss potential modifications and design changes for the project before moving to the next phase.

3. Budgeting & Financing

Post-frame building projects represent a valuable and worthwhile investment. The contractor and other specialists play a critical role in budgeting and financial management. Our professional team at Astro Buildings draws upon the team’s expertise and industry connections to provide homeowners with transparent cost estimates, offer guidance on procurement strategies, and identify potential cost-saving opportunities.

Our contractors maintain diligent financial oversight throughout the project. Establishing a contingency budget that addresses any unforeseen expenses during the construction project is also critical. A contingency fund offers financial flexibility, allowing contractors and clients to mitigate potential setbacks.

4. Construction Phase

This phase marks the commencement of the construction process. Here’s where our contractor’s expertise and leadership come into play.

Contractors must adhere to regulatory standards and industry best practices while maintaining rigorous quality control measures. Our team conducts regular inspections throughout construction, immediately addressing issues to uphold the structure’s integrity.

5. Quality Assurance & Inspection

Multiple inspections at different stages of the construction help crews identify any issues and address them promptly. Failure to meet these standards may result in rework and significant delays.

Permit Information

It is the customer’s responsibility to determine if a building permit is required. If one is required, it is also the customer’s responsibility to apply for the permit, however, Astro will provide the specifications and drawings to you for the application. Check with local municipalities or homeowners associations on any restrictions (size, height, materials, etc.) or required setbacks from your property lines.

Site Preparation

Excavation may be available through Astro depending on your location. If you decide to provide your own pad you will need to provide Astro builders with a level building site that is approximately 10 feet larger than your building on all sides. For example, a 30’x40′ building would require a 50’x60′ level pad. Adequate provisions should be made for drainage away from the site. Final leveling and grading may be needed after the completion of your building, which will be the responsibility of the customer.

Financing

Astro has teamed up with HFS to bring you a competitive option for leasing and other financial options.
