Thinking about adding a pole barn to your property? Whether you’re dreaming of extra storage, a livestock shelter, or a workshop, knowing what to expect can make the building process feel a whole lot less overwhelming.
At VWC Construction, we walk you through every step of your project—from permits to final cleanup—so you’re never left guessing. Here’s what the journey looks like when you build with us.
1. Site Prep and Permitting: Laying the Groundwork
Before we break ground, we handle all the behind-the-scenes work to get your build approved.
We work with your county or city to ensure your project meets all local codes
Our team assists with engineering plans if needed
We’ll help you choose the right location on your property and prep the site
Any necessary dirt work, grading, or leveling is taken care of
Our goal is to make sure everything’s ready for a smooth build from day one.

2. Framing, Siding, and Roofing: The Fun Part Begins
Once permits are in hand and the site is ready, the build gets real—and fast.
We start with setting the posts and framing the skeleton of your structure
Next comes the siding and roof install, using quality materials designed to last
Depending on the size and complexity, this phase usually takes just a few days to a couple of weeks
This is when you’ll see your barn or garage start to take shape—and it gets exciting!

3. Weather and Inspections: What Might Affect Your Timeline
We build year-round in Southern Colorado, but there are a few factors that can slow things down:
Heavy snow, frozen ground, or high winds
Delays in permitting or county inspections
Custom features that require extra coordination or subcontractors
We stay in close contact throughout the build and give you realistic updates as things progress. You’ll never be left in the dark.

4. Interior Add-Ons and Custom Touches
If your build includes extras like:
Concrete floors
Insulation or finished interiors
Windows, doors, or electrical hookups
We coordinate with our trusted subs or your chosen contractors to get it all done. We stay on top of the details so you don’t have to.

5. Final Walkthrough and Clean-Up
Once construction is complete, we walk the site with you to make sure everything meets your expectations.
Any remaining touch-ups or details are addressed promptly
The job site is cleaned and cleared
We don’t leave until you’re satisfied
