Post Frame Construction

Post Frame Construction is based in Shorewood, Illinois and builds post-frame structures across Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin. The company was founded by Nico Soave, owner of Greater Midwest Exteriors, and draws on more than 30 years of exterior construction experience. Residential work includes barndominiums, pole barn houses, shop-houses, detached garages, cabins, hobby shops, and guest houses.

The company also builds commercial projects such as offices, retail spaces, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities, plus agricultural buildings including machine sheds, livestock buildings, horse barns, and stables. It frames with both traditional wood and metal framing systems. The build process runs in 5 stages: an initial consultation with site evaluation, custom design and planning with material selection, permit coordination covering local codes and zoning, a construction phase that typically runs 45 to 60 days with progress updates, and a final inspection with walkthrough and warranty documentation.

Completed buildings carry a 10-year warranty, and financing options are available. The office at 401 Earl Rd in Shorewood is open Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, with 24/7 emergency support. The website does not name specific steel or kit suppliers.

For Upper Midwest buyers who want permits, design, and construction handled by one regional contractor, Post Frame Construction covers the full sequence.
