Post-frame construction has been used in place of more conventional construction methods in just about every building type. Yet, when shown photos of post-frame buildings along with those built with traditional construction, most people have difficulty picking which were built using a frame building system.
Almost any type of low-rise construction, such as commercial, municipal, institutional and even residential, has been built with post frame. The primary reasons are that it costs less, gets built faster and is achieved without sacrificing structural integrity and visual aesthetics.
