Tips From B&D Builders for Building Your Custom Horse Barn

February 2023

Every equine project we take on at B&D Builders is an opportunity to create something truly special. The clients we meet are as diverse as the structures we create. Whether you’re planning a simple horse barn or a show-stopping equestrian facility, there are three questions to keep in mind as you move forward.

Where should I place my horse barn? An experienced builder can address important areas that affect the best placement. Sunlight and wind conditions can not only help with the health of your horses, but also maximize the energy efficiency of your structure. You should also consider stormwater management. Rainfall can produce significant runoff, creating slippery mud and standing water around structures. Managing water effectively makes ground conditions safer and prolongs the life of building foundations.

Who should design my project? Design plans for an equine structure can be approached different ways. Some clients work with an architect and have a set of plans before choosing a builder. In other cases, clients may not have an architect or plans, but know the builder they want to work with. At B&D Builders, we can help find the best architect for a client’s project.

How do I handle all the details of my project? With projects as complex as custom-built equine structures, open communication is a must. To ensure a smooth process, a custom builder experienced in equestrian projects is key. At B&D, we communicate with our customers every step of the way to ensure every detail is handled — and handled right.

Working with a horse barn builder that approaches projects with great attention to detail, clear communication, and a collaborative mindset is the best way for your vision to become a reality. To learn more and view B&D Builders’ stunning project gallery, visit www.BandDBuilders.com.
