“My favorite thing about working with Remuda was the people. I wasn’t just a number. They took the time to answer all my questions.”

Whether you’re working to get a new business off the ground or running one that feels cramped in your current setup, a right-sized commercial storage building is a prerequisite for a successful venture.
When you’re planning a new warehouse building, post frame construction delivers the wide-open interiors, durability, and capacity that help you get where you’re headed.

Our personal approach to the design and construction of warehouse buildings means your structure is designed around your inventory, your staff, and your operations, incorporating features that make days run smoother and clear out the bottlenecks.

The right warehouse starts with what your business needs to fit inside: your inventory, your racking, and the room your team and equipment need to move around. A warehouse built around how you operate is one that keeps your days running without bottlenecks.

Clear-span interiors add the kind of efficiency you don’t fully appreciate until you’re using the building on your busiest day. With a post frame commercial storage building, the interior stays completely open—free of supporting walls and columns—so rows of shelving can go exactly where you need them, and forklifts and machinery move without steering around obstructing supports.

A mezzanine is a cost-effective way to add a full or partial second level inside the warehouse, creating more usable square footage without increasing the size of the building. That flexible space can become extra storage, a raised office, or a breakroom overlooking the floor. It’s one of the simplest ways to get more from your building, and a smart move when land or budget caps how big you can build.

Businesses grow, and the buildings they operate out of should be able to keep up. Adding length onto a post frame warehouse years down the road is straightforward, so you can extend the structure rather than build another. The addition simply involves removing an end wall and adding new rows of posts and trusses. With post frame, you have the peace of mind knowing the building can keep up with your business.

Tackling one construction project instead of two is less stressful and more efficient to build and run. Plan an office, workshop, or customer-facing service space into a warehouse build from the start to create a multi-functional building that brings storage, work, and admin spaces together and empowers you to run your entire operation from under the same roof.

Building a commercial storage building is a significant investment in your business. Our planning resources are designed to help you make informed decisions well before warehouse construction starts, so you can move forward with confidence.
Warehouse construction cost comes down to the size, whether you build with steel frame or post frame construction, and the complexity of the design and finishes—so cost can vary significantly from project to project. The best approach is to talk through your specific requirements with a builder, who can give you an accurate number, not just a range that may not reflect your project.
The answer depends largely on the size requirements of your warehouse facility, budget, and lifespan expectations. As a rough guide, post frame construction will likely be more cost-effective for spans under 100′ wide, and we’ve built post frame structures up to 112′. For very large or specialized industrial facilities that need a fire-resistant shell, steel frame tends to make sense.

Absolutely—there are lots of ways to shape your warehouse around your business. Size and layout maximize your usable square footage, door locations get set around how machinery needs to move in and out, and the building can even create a multi-use base for your operation by connecting the warehouse to an office. A warehouse builder can work with you to design a building that fits how you run.
To create the shell, laminated wooden posts anchor the structure below ground, giving it solid support where engineered trusses can be fastened. Purlins and girts tie the diaphragm together, and metal cladding closes it all in.
