Why Michigan Pole Barn Homes?

       Patriot Builders isn't reinventing the wheel when it comes to Michigan Pole Barn Homes, it's just not that common with standard construction practices in Michigan yet. We have been searching for ways to bring down the ever-rising cost of construction, as construction codes are always changing with good intention. The standard process of residential construction has been thoroughly refined for efficiency over the years. The only way we could possibly cut down the cost is by sacrificing the quality of materials and or the quality of craftsmanship. That is simply NOT an option for Patriot Builders.

    We realized we had to do something different if we want to add savings to the cost of construction without sacrificing the quality of materials or craftsmanship. So, we decided to eliminate the foundation (basement/crawlspace). It contributes to 30-35% of the entire cost of the home-building process. A Michigan Pole Barn Home does just that while gaining many other advantages by default. Some great advantages are as follows:

  • Building pad provides excellent water run-off

  • No leaky, smelly basements or crawl spaces 

  • Highly efficient insulation resulting in low energy bills and higher comfort

  • Barrier-free design is easily accomplished 

  • Greater wind strength

  • Lower cost of building footprint 

  • Saved foundation cost can be put into higher amenities
