Building of the Year
The WFBA’s Building of the Year Awards honor outstanding post-frame craftsmanship and design by member builders. Each entry showcases innovation, functionality, and the beauty of wood-frame construction. Projects must include at least 50 percent post-frame construction and be completed within the eligibility period. Entrants submit descriptions, floor plans, and clear photos of both progress and completion. Winners are recognized at the WFBA Annual Conference, featured on the association’s website, and promoted throughout the year as examples of post-frame excellence. The program highlights the diverse applications of post-frame building—from agricultural and commercial to residential—and gives members an opportunity to demonstrate their expertise to peers, customers, and the broader construction industry.
Annual Conference Feb. 3-4
The 2026 WFBA Annual Conference, held February 3-4 in Wausau, Wisconsin, is the premier gathering for post-frame professionals. Attendees can expect two days filled with high-value education, technical sessions, product showcases, and networking events. The program features expert speakers covering engineering best practices, new materials and codes, and emerging trends shaping the post-frame industry. Builders and suppliers will connect through roundtables, exhibitor interactions, and peer-to-peer discussions designed to spark innovation and share solutions to common challenges. The Conference also includes the annual awards dinner, where the Building of the Year winners are revealed and members celebrate the strength of Wisconsin’s post-frame community.
