42 Parallel Construction

42 Parallel Construction is a post-frame builder based in Lake Odessa, Michigan, serving the Mid-Michigan region. The company focuses on shell construction: its barndominium shells are delivered fully framed and dried in, ready for interior trades to take over. Alongside barndominium shells it builds pole barns, garages, guest houses, workshops, hobby barns, and storage sheds for residential, agricultural, and light commercial customers.

The company is locally owned and grew out of Michigan Dutch Barns after customers asked for larger projects. Its process runs in 4 stages. It starts with a phone call and a rough estimate, followed by a virtual rendering with an aerial view and a formal quote, typically within 1 week.

After agreement and a deposit, detailed CAD drawings are produced, and the build phase covers permitting, excavation, concrete, insulation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, finish work, and inspections. Each client works with a single point of contact from estimate through completion. For buyers who need help funding a build, the company lists financing partnerships with New Century Bank, HFS Financial, and GreenStone Farm Credit.
