Show off your skills and celebrate the post frame construction industry!

By Dani Sheehan. 

Do you have an exemplary project from this year that you’d like to highlight? Join the BFBA in praising the latest and greatest in the post frame industry! 

Don’t miss your chance to submit an entry for the 2023 Buckeye Building Awards! Each year, this program recognizes Ohio projects exemplifying the post frame industry. If your project was completed during the last calendar year (2023) and utilizes post-frame construction in at least 50% of the building structure, your project is eligible for consideration.  

Eligibility will be determined by linear footage of the exterior walls containing post frame construction. The Buckeye Frame Building Association (BFBA) defines post frame construction by its wide column spacing: “Columns are typically buried in the ground but can also be mounted on concrete. On the side walls and ends, all columns are either solid (4x4 minimum) or three ply laminated with horizontal girts spanning between them to support the exterior siding or sheathing. Trusses are connected directly to each column or are mounted on headers spanning between columns.” 

As a current member of the BFBA, you can submit an entry completely free of charge thanks to the generous support of Plyco Corporation, who is sponsoring the program. Plyco has been a leading supplier of products to post frame, metal clad building and commercial construction industries for over 50 years. Not only are they dedicated to their products, but they aspire to exceed customer expectations and work hard to provide rewarding work for their employees. 

The deadline for submissions is December 1, 2023, so don’t wait! Winners receive one award for themselves and one to give to their project owner. All winning projects will be recognized at the 2024 BFBA Expo taking place January 11, 2024, at the Heritage Community Center in Millersburg, Ohio. It’s a great way to show off your company’s workmanship and network with other industry leaders in the community.
