A commodity building plays an important role in the daily routine of a dairy farm, keeping feed ingredients organized, protected from the weather, and accessible when it’s time to mix feed.

When planning one, storage capacity is only part of the picture. Bay widths, unloading clearance, and room for trucks and loaders to maneuver all deserve attention. Planning around the equipment and delivery methods helps make the space more useful every day.

We recently wrapped up this commodity building and appreciate the opportunity to be part of another local farm’s investment in its operation. Thank you Oakfield Corners Dairy for trusting the WCS crew with the project!

Why Future Expansion Should Be Discussed Before You Build

One of the most important things to think about is:

“What will this facility need to look like in five years?”

Future expansion affects today’s design.
It can impact:
• Building location
• Door placement
• Endwall design
• Utilities
• Drainage
• Traffic flow
• Site grading
• Column layout
• Where additions may tie in later

This building was designed with what called an expandable endwall which will save the customer money when the time comes to expand.

Many businesses build for what they need today and then realize a few years later that expansion will be difficult or expensive.

Planning for future growth does not always mean spending a lot more now.
Sometimes it simply means making smarter decisions before construction starts.

We always try to repair an existing building when it makes sense. But sometimes the savings from going the repair route doesn't outweigh the cost and peace of mind that comes with starting fresh with a brand new building.

What Causes Condensation in Buildings?

Condensation is one of the most misunderstood building problems.

Many people assume it is a roof leak, but that is not always the case.

Condensation is often caused by warm, moist air hitting a cold surface.

Common contributors include:
• Poor ventilation
• Lack of insulation
• Missing v***r control
• High humidity inside the building
• Unheated or partially heated spaces
• Improper roof or wall assemblies

These panels with a factory installed felt coating are a perfect option for unconditioned storage buildings. The felt absorbs condensation the instance that it forms. Then holds the moisure until humidity and temperatures stabilize and then the moisure is released back into the air.

Can You Stay Operational During Construction or a Facility Renovation?

For farms, trucking companies, warehouses, and production facilities, shutting down is usually not an option.
There is almost alway a way for you to stay operating during a construction or renovation project, it may just not be at 100%.

Some things to consider when planning a project:
• Where employees will work
• How trucks, equipment or livestock will move
• What areas need to stay accessible and operational
• When deliveries happen
• What work creates the most disruption
• How weather could affect exposed areas
• Whether temporary openings or protection are needed

With proper planning you can finish your project while keeping the business moving.
