Live in Colorado? Check out the Comfort of our Western Ranch Buildings

Just think about how comfortable well-designed Western ranch buildings could be. How much happier will you be working in a customized outbuilding! And what about your animals?

What makes a building comfortable? A ranch building needs to have a good climate, ventilation with a healthy air flow, natural and other lighting. It needs to be safe. It would be comforting to save on maintenance and energy bills with passive solar designs. And, of course, there’s nothing like handsome details and inviting outdoor spaces.

Think About a Colorado Pole Building

The materials used for pole buildings can reflect any personality you choose. So, think about a Colorado pole building with a Western flair for your ranch. A new and modern ranch outbuilding will far surpass the outbuildings of the last century. Sapphire Construction will bring your ideas into the durable addition your ranch needs.

Pre—Planning a Comfortable Building

Where to start? Your new ranch building will deliver on every ounce of preplanning that you put into it. Begin by writing down the reasons why you are constructing a new ranch building on your property. For example, outline the spaces such as places for a workshop, animals or crops, stables and tack room, equipment storage, and a small kitchen and restroom.

Then decide which areas need temperature control. Do you want to heat the workshop in the bathroom? Now, considering the cold Colorado winters, figure out where you would put the animals. Finally, decide on a budget.

Integrate Building Information

The next step would be to make an appointment with our designers at Sapphire Construction. We will process your specifications and study the options for building sites. After gathering information, our professional team starts the architectural design process. While this is happening, we study building codes for the county and the subdivision. We investigate the wind and snow loads, the soil chemistry, the water runoff, the prevailing winds and sunshine – anything that will affect your building and activities.

Finally, the information is integrated into a plan that crystallizes. At this point you will be able to see three-dimensional computerized renderings of everything gets more exciting. The designers may suggest Dutch doors or other Western details. But you will choose colors and materials, working with the computer concepts. And you can adjust the plans until they are perfect for you. Now that’s comforting, too.
