Time after time we are asked the question, “Why is an Integrity building more expensive than your competition?” The truth is, we are more expensive. We are more expensive because we don’t build the same building as our competition. We aren’t comparing apples to apples here. We are comparing apples to super structure, engineered oranges.
Well not really, but you get the point. Integrity set out to revolutionize post frame construction. We have learned a lot along the way.
Understanding that weather is changing, understanding that soil conditions are not the same from area to area, understanding that stronger foundations mean stronger buildings. Understanding that building an engineered post frame building means that it won’t fail. Understanding that building codes mean something to us, to you and to the people you love.
How well would you want your acreage building, machine shed, or heated shop to stand up to the brutal Canadian winters and thaws? Understanding that weather is changing, understanding that soil conditions are not the same from area to area, understanding that stronger foundations mean stronger buildings. Understanding that having an engineered post frame building means that it won’t fail. Understanding that building codes mean something to us, to you and to the people you love.
So, when you are comparing a quote from Integrity to a quote from another builder it’s clear to see why it’s not apples to apples. It’s not the same structure. We recently were given a quote from another company for an 80×100 building that was $18,000 less than the Integrity quote. We showed the quote to our engineer and he confirmed that the competition building would be built to fail. It’s not engineered. It would not be built to code. Integrity wants you to make sure you know what’s under the hood.
From the way that wind deflects, your local snow loads, the best and longest lasting foundation systems. Could we build you the same building that our competition is quoting you for the same price? Yes, we can. Would we build that building for you? No, we wouldn’t. We believe that you should have the best building available within the industry. And if we utilized a cheaper strategy, we wouldn’t be upholding our values and our commitment to you. We invite you to compare apples to oranges. We think you’ll like the way oranges taste.
