About FBi Buildings

FBi Buildings is a prominent pre-engineered post-frame design and construction company, established in 1958 by Edwin A. Bahler. With a legacy spanning over six decades, the company has distinguished itself as a leader in the post-frame industry, renowned for its commitment to innovation, quality, and customer responsiveness. FBi Buildings specializes in the design, manufacture, and construction of custom post-frame buildings, serving a diverse array of markets, including agriculture, livestock, suburban, commercial, and industrial sectors. Throughout its history, the company has built over 20,000 pre-engineered building structures, catering to producers, landowners, and investors across Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin.

The core philosophy of FBi Buildings is encapsulated in their guiding principles: "Do Right, On Time with Excellence." This commitment has fostered steady growth, leading to a workforce of over 200 dedicated employees who undertake approximately 500 projects each year. Their extensive range of building types includes farm shops, horse barns, residential buildings, commercial structures, hobby garages, and barndominiums, making them a versatile choice for clients with varying needs.

FBi Buildings employs a comprehensive building process that outlines key steps from planning and design to permitting and construction initiation. Their innovative QLYFT building system enhances safety and efficiency, significantly reducing project timelines without compromising quality. With a focus on meeting specific customer requirements, FBi Buildings collaborates closely with clients, ensuring that each project reflects their unique vision and functional needs.

FBi Buildings not only caters to agricultural businesses seeking modern farm facilities but also serves commercial enterprises that require adaptable spaces, such as dealerships and retail outlets. Additionally, their offerings attract residential clients interested in durable and aesthetically pleasing structures for vehicle storage or innovative housing solutions like barndominiums. Through its dedication to quality and customer satisfaction, FBi Buildings continues to redefine the standards of the post-frame construction industry.

Need to submit a Pay App to FBi Buildings?

Payment applications generally include the application for payment form and a continuation sheet (which includes a schedule of values and change orders). Depending on the situation, you may also include backup documents like materials receipts and invoices, payroll wage reports, and lien waivers.

It's a lot to keep straight, and it's further complicated by most GCs requiring their own custom payment application forms, rather than standard AIA templates. Fortunately, Siteline has more than 8,000 forms from over 6,000 GCs—in our system. Our software streamlines the entire monthly billing workflow, ensuring you submit the perfect pay apps on time, every time, which gets your invoices paid about three weeks faster.Want to see for yourself?
