Many factors go into selecting a build site. And price can be affected by other factors like the proximity to Denver and Colorado Springs.

Adding a Custom Post Frame House

One thing about contracting with Sapphire Construction for your post frame building is that we’re a local builder located in Castle Rock. Owner Allen Randa comes from a family of excellent builders. Before partnering with Lester Buildings, he built custom stick-built homes.

So, when it’s time to design your custom home, Sapphire Construction can merge the benefits of pole barns and homes. Some call them barndominiums but the designs you’ll find on the “See” section of the Lester Buildings show you dozens of variations that could never pass as barns. Want country elegance? An oversized cabin or streamlined home with ultra tall garage for your RV? Or a guest house or hunting lodge? Spend some time getting ideas at lesterbuildings.com.
