In each year’s April edition, Frame Building News publishes post-frame building projects that exhibit some of the many possibilities for this tried-and-true building system. The tradition of a project-promoting issue began in 2020, the first full year that this magazine operated under the ownership of Shield Wall Media. Since then, the number of projects has grown each year, with the ultimate goal being an edition of Frame Building News that is completely filled with post-frame building projects so builder-subscribers can be inspired to better identify and meet the needs of the market.

According to the market data gathered from Shield Wall Media’s annual survey, published in the Construction Survey Insights—Annual, the post-frame industry is healthy and growing. Suited especially well for light commercial, agricultural, and single-family residential, post-frame construction is more widely accepted than ever before. By promoting not only the possibilities of what can be achieved with post-frame, but also what’s actually being done, we can help move the industry forward. 

There are many benefits that come out of the Buildings of Distinction program for both subscribers and project contributors. First and foremost, contributors get their company published — at no cost since there is no cost to submit a project or have it published — in the longest-running national magazine about post-frame construction. Your company can help set the standard for what a great-looking, long-performing post-frame structure should look like. Promoting what your company is capable of helps establish it as a leader in the industry. 

As readers review the projects that are published, the message that comes across is “This is what a post-frame building can do,” or “This is what a post-frame building should look like.” 

Frame Building News, which was launched 35 years ago, is the longest-running publication dedicated to post-frame construction. It also has the largest circulation, reaching thousands more readers than any other B2B brand serving the post-frame construction industry. As a builder, you provide customers with solutions to their building needs, whether the need is shelter, storage, animal confinement, or countless other purposes that post-frame buildings serve. By showcasing a project as a solution to a common problem, you are inspiring other builders to better their performance and helping to move the industry forward.
