Not every pole building project looks the same. One family wants a fully custom home with an attached shop. Another just needs a place to keep a boat, a camper, and a snowmobile trailer out of the weather. A farmer needs equipment storage that will outlast three tractors. A horse owner needs stalls, a tack room, and a riding arena. A growing business needs a clear-span building for inventory, fleet vehicles, or a storefront. Post-frame construction handles all of it — the same proven structural system, engineered differently for each use. The key is choosing an experienced, local pole building contractor who has actually built the type of project you're planning and not just a company that puts “pole barn” on a website.
Allan Dorney Construction, an authorized Wick Buildings dealer, designs and builds a wide range of post-frame structures across Minnesota, including:
- Barndominiums: fully custom homes that combine living space with an attached shop or garage
- Garage & shop buildings: dedicated space for vehicles, tools, and hobbies
- Toy sheds & recreational storage: boats, campers, ATVs, and trailers under one roof
- Agricultural buildings: equipment storage, machine sheds, and livestock or feed buildings
- Equestrian barns & arenas: stalls, wash racks, tack rooms, and riding arenas
- Large commercial storage buildings: heavy equipment, fleet vehicles, and bulk inventory
- Commercial & retail buildings: offices, showrooms, and business space built to perform
- General-purpose storage buildings: a right-sized option for property owners who just need more room
Every one of these buildings starts from the same engineered foundation, designed for Minnesota's snow loads, wind speeds, and frost line and then customized around exactly how it will be used.
Experienced Minnesota Pole Building Contractor
The building type changes. What a good contractor brings to the table doesn't. Whether the project is a barndominium, an ag building, or a commercial storage facility, an experienced pole building contractor brings:
- Engineered designs: through an authorized Wick Buildings dealer
- Honest sizing and use guidance: based on how you'll actually use the building, now and years from now
- Foundation and site planning: for Minnesota's frost line, drainage, and snow loads
- Design flexibility: from a simple storage building to a fully custom barndominium
- References from past projects: across residential, agricultural, equestrian, and commercial builds
- One point of contact: through design, permitting, construction, and finishes
Wick Buildings has been engineering post-frame structures for the Upper Midwest for over 100 years. Allan Dorney Construction partners with Wick because the values line up; we do it right the first time, stand behind the work and build something that lasts. As a true one-stop shop, the team handles every project: barndominium, shop, ag building, equestrian facility, or commercial structure from design and site planning through final finishes, with one point of contact start to finish.
One Contractor for Every Building Type
Picking the right building type is the first decision. Sizing it right is the one most property owners say they wish they'd spent more time on and almost everyone who builds a pole building ends up wishing they'd gone a little bigger, whether it's a barndominium, a shop, or a storage building. A good contractor walks through that upfront, no matter what's being built.
Custom barndominiums, pole buildings, and commercial structures from Allan Dorney Construction are built throughout Minnesota by an experienced local contractor with the references and follow-through to back every project, whatever you're building.
