Matt thanks for this crossover. I am a big fan of both channels. One thing you overlooked when you were at the first building and talking about how fast it goes up is the labor factor. 5 days got it from bare ground, site layout, piers dug and poured, to skeleton frame with a roof. 2 guys did that! Amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail as well. Kyle and Greg are a well oiled machine!

[@colemcleod941]

"There's no Header requirement" - every carpenter's head in the land snaps up. I also love that each Truss lands in the post notch(shortened 2x6) and loads on a post on a foundation point-load. This is large scale engineering, all aligned on point-loads, just like concrete hi-rises. Superior.

[@kstorm889]

Absolutely spot on. Post frame building are often seen as the "cheaper" building, but I believe they are better engineered than stick frame. This is why I'm designing my house as post frame.

I’m so glad to see a post framed structure on here. I started using these several years ago for spec houses. I sub out the shell to a Mennonite crew , they are fast and very very affordable. they will raise it in a just few days. It has a 9” cavity for insulation and continuous thermal seal. I like to use blown in for this application. Since it’s wide open floor you can divide the space up however you like and dress the exterior/ interior in any style you want. I would wager it’s less expensive and more cost effective than any SIPs kit or traditional stick framed structure and just as well insulated if not better.

[@mikemcgown6362]

With the pandemic price gouging on lumber, stick building is getting outrageously expensive and sheeting with plywood is extremely costly, too. So I've been looking at alternative building solutions. Post-frame and SIP are the ones I've been considering. The estimates are a lot less for both compared to stick building, but post-frame is coming in closer to our budget. Like he said it, gets dried in faster and gives more inside working comfort. Seeing the skeleton of a post-frame is something I can appreciate. My wife is still a little skeptical, but she's starting to trust my judgement. Thanks for the tours and the information! I'll be checking his channel out! Thanks for the video!

Kyle is a very focused builder. The thing I am most impress with is his use of mobile equipment to improve job efficiency and safety. RR Building has not skimped on job tools. Probably part of why they put together awesome buildings.

[@Ninjump]

And can hit the price point they do. Knocking something like a 20x80 garage out in 7 working days with 2 men is incredible and it's because they don't have to stand around figuring out how to lift things , brace them there and reposition to lift again, etc. Everything built on the ground (big timesaver) and lifted once , done!

Man, RRBuildings was one of the first professional KZbin channels I came across a few years ago when I was considering building my first home. The simplicity and versatility of the core structure, and the fact that I would have been building by myself from start to finish with no additional manpower made it really appealing. Can't complain about the low cost, either! I ultimately ended up buying an existing 20 year old house, simply because the cost per square foot in the area I was looking in is so low (

It will be 60x120 divided into 3... 40 foot sections, House with basement, Party barn in the center and my shop on the other end. So I have really appreciated being able to watch and pick up so many great ideas that will apply to our build in the near future. Thanks Again

I had a 30x60 pole frame building put on my property 2 years ago. It's got two large garage doors separated by about 6 ft so there's plenty of room between them, and the last 16 feet of its length is a music/rehearsal room./man cave. And I'm even putting a "rough" man cave in the shop section. This building is a dream come true for me. The concrete floor is smooth like Costco which allowed me to put a beautiful wood floor in the music room. By the way, the music room has a lot of the same things going for it that a sports bar does. And the building cost about as much as a new toyota. Where I live there are no building permits required but the one down side of this building is there is no water, at least not yet.

Long time sub of Kyle here. What you won't get from this video is the quality he produces. Post framing gets a bad rap for being "very rough" framing. Not Kyle, the guy puts his heart in every building he builds. He builds like he would for himself. Sadly, that is extremely rare in contracting today. He takes extra effort and care to produce an outstanding product. Post framing, Kyle is the goat in my opinion.

There needs to be more of this style of building. In a lot of areas the cost of housing has inflated to where there is no such thing as affordable housing. I wish I had the means to develop areas with simple, basic homes that meet the needs of low-income home buyers.

[@andrewalexander9492]

Well, while it is true that this type of construction has a low cost per square foot, this has nothing to do with "affordable housing" RR builds large, expansive play structures which have nothing to do with meeting basic housing requirements, for people with a lot of money. The 5,700 sq ft "hunting cabin" is an example. Not that there's anything wrong with that, if thats what you want and you can afford it. Just saying, this isn't "affordable housing" in any way.

[@optimusprimeforpresident]

@Tyler what about the cost of land?

[@pcno2832]

@Tyler $85/sq.' is a great price for spaces that are big, open and flexible, but those are not the typical criteria for "affordable housing". A typical "manufactured home", a boring ranch-shaped box with 8' ceilings, built to federal standards, would run less than half that much, and with decent foundation could be just as permanent. The challenge, of course, would be building at near that cost without the low-budget look of a trailer park, and you'll see some pretty attractive examples on the internet, of manufactured houses with just enough amenities to look more like homes than boxes. The system shown here is much more affordable than most other systems for building custom houses, but it doesn't strike me as a useful approach for housing the masses.

For a few years now I have been thinking of selling my home and getting a piece of land and putting a large manufactured home on it and live comfortably and debt free... However, that changed once I saw this video. I so want to go to go post frame structures instead! Honestly these barns and homes are beautiful and spacious. If I could afford it I would build a home between 2700-5000sq. ft. Then have a 5000sq. ft barn/guitar showroom/cocktail lounge and studio all in one built for all my music and hobby needs. But most likely (at first) I would only be able to build a modest home with what I sold my home for...but that would be enough. Keep up the good work Matt, and please keep those prices low so many of us can get the home of our dreams without breaking the bank or staying in debt for the rest of our lives. You are awesome.

I use under slab heat... latest from the engineers is to "not" insulate under the slab just around the rim and in about a foot... when the dirt under the floor is heated, it becomes a "thermal mass" maintaining the interior temperature longer and using less circulation cycles per time duration... and your options on how to heat the liquid under slab (we also cycle it through masonry seating around fire places and pits)... so wood, (propane) gas, (solar) electric, etc. can all be interchanged (or switched to) at your "heat exchanger" manifold...

Well from my experience whenever you attach metal siding to wood there are issues with coefficient of expansion of metal vs wood. Metal expands 3/16 per 100' per 10 deg. Wood expands with humidity. If the interior is acclimatized you also have other issues. Fasteners will eventually leak because the metal works the screws back and forth from expansion and contraction. Metal frame building have expansion connections built in and fasteners stay put.

Sheer envy on all 4 buildings, but the home just makes me want to melt! Man, I wish my life had included money!

These aren't as expensive as regular homes

It's a dang pole barn.

[@miketee2444]

I started framing these with 2x6s after I noticed so many with buckled and bent metal from the poles twisting. No way a 20' long 6x6 will stay straight for very long. Another thing that's worth considering is if you are building an office or apt inside order cathedral trusses for that part so you have more headroom above. The last thing is an apartment inside and it's efficiency. You would think it's double insulation so it's great but if it gets cold at night and warm during the day and your shop holds that cold air all day it doesn't help much. I put an exhaust fan with a thermostat to help keep air moving up near the ridge.

That’s some intense floor joist spacing on that loft.

[@cooper8318]

Ikr what the hell are they planning on putting up there?

[@BSnydr]

Dang! My two favorite construction KZbin’s in one video. I salute you both for your attention to detail. You guys need to do a traveling roadshow building across America. Of course paid for and sponsored by HDTV.

I love when two channels I already subscribe to collaborate 👍 Also, I'll be sold on post frame when I see one with PH blower door numbers

The big leaks I would guess are in the ceiling and where the ceiling meets the wall.

18 hours !!! I drove non stop except for gas, from Sacramento to Milwaukee in 32 hours.. Do the math of average non stop speed for 2,084 miles. HINT, 65mph.. I was doing 125mph going through Nevada on I-80.. Great days in the 70's.. Love the video, doing that work now.. Need a place for my 67 GTO and shop to work in.

This is great stuff. I love the simple barn style with the ability to adapt to a home setting. beautiful. 👍🇺🇸

NEW SUB HERE! EXCELLENT TOUR, GENTLEMEN! I'M THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED WITH THE QUALITY, VALUE, DIVERSITY IN OPTIONS, AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL (I'm an Air Force veteran, any wingnut knows how important that is to us 😏) . THESE BUILDINGS HAVE ME SO EXCITED! I LIVE IN

[@COMMANDER-ONE]

Kyle, it’s still a pole building. Been building them like this for decades.

[@chrisstedman4039]

Nothing ground breaking here. Chains for bracing is completely unnecessary. Plumb the building with ratchet straps, brace with 2x4s. Put down the steel, remove the bracing. Been going on like this for decades.

36 years of buildings construction. This is a pole barn, call it what you want, but in the end, it’s a pole barn. Also, a wood frame, will never out perform a steel building for strength.

[@RyanWithAviators]

@Iron *Fe* Wow what a bunch of crochety old men you guys are. By the way, Chris Stedman, the reason for the chains is for plumbing up for window frame installation, as Kyle mentioned in a video regarding that very building. That's all it's for.

[@RyanWithAviators]

@@9.5Nubbins Steel will never out-perform wood just in the area of condensation. Wood does not have the same problems with condensation "wicking" in wetter climates. So for residential, steel does not make as much feasible sense in wetter areas.
