Horse Barns to Increase Quality of Life and Property Values
Differences exist between horse barns from Sapphire Construction and other prefab horse barns. Our thoughtful customization and long-standing durability bring great value for our clients. Horses do increase quality of life which indeed adds value. But property owners want to be assured a return on investment down the road. No matter the size of your horse property, upgrading involves a significant investment to achieve ROI.
On Barn Budgets and Costs
The designers at Sapphire Construction take our clients through details of the costs for pole buildings. Whether you want to accommodate one or 10 horses, whether you breed or get involved in local equestrian activities, we assume clients always want the best wood or metal horse barn allowable in their budgets.
We share electronically every architectural decision and possible accessories. This is accompanied by a continuous cost estimate. Along with our clients, our professionals adjust the plans according to priorities and budgets. Until final plans for any modular horse barns are submitted for manufacturing and delivery, details can be changed.
Priorities and Amenities to Consider
What details are priority for you? Think of today’s needs. At the same time, while considering the design of new custom horse barns, it is wise to think about how choices could affect the property’s resale as a horse property.
Equine real estate agents advise us to consider the following elements for horse properties:
- Barn, size, layout, and quality.
- Location of the barn in relation to the road and other buildings.
- Safety and building integrity.
- Safe stalls that do restrain horses from escape.
- Good, comfortable stall flooring.
- Stalls sized at least 12-feet square with wide doors and runs.
- Suitable stalls (for boarding or breeding, etc.).
- Roads for accessibility.
- Fencing of wood, vinyl, or electric wire.
- Pastures and turn outs.
- Outdoor and indoor riding arenas.
- Plumbing for water, restrooms, etc.,
- Electricity and lighting.
- Secured feed and equipment storage areas.
Conclusion
Many variables go into building horse barns. They are all tied to budgetary elements. Sapphire Construction works with clients to customize even the simplest barn and improve its safety, durability, and cost. Specific considerations help increase real estate values in the realm of horse properties. They also increase the quality of the equestrian lifestyle for owners.
