Our Barn Building Process

Building a horse barn requires thoughtful planning and expert craftsmanship. While no two horse barns are exactly the same, here’s what you can expect from our process:

Planning and Design: We collaborate closely with you to understand your needs, budget, and vision for the perfect horse barn. Our team then creates a detailed blueprint that includes stall placement, ventilation, drainage, and more.

Permitting and Approvals: Once the design is finalized, Sunrise Valley Construction will assist you with obtaining the necessary permits and approvals from local authorities. This ensures that you stay compliant with local regulations and building codes. 

Site Preparation and Foundation: The land is prepped and graded, and the foundation is laid for a stable structure.

Framing: We use pole construction for a strong, durable frame, with materials such as laminated posts and high-quality wood framing for stalls.

Exterior Finishing: Exterior walls and roofing are installed, with options for metal siding, wood, or other materials that suit your design choices.

Interior Finishing: Now comes the exciting part of bringing the interior to life! The interior is customized with stall partitions, tack rooms, wash stalls, and more to create a functional space for your horse(s) to live.

Final Touches and Inspections: Once the construction is complete, Sunrise Valley Construction will conduct a final inspection to ensure everything meets the agreed-upon standards. We will also involve you in a walkthrough to address any concerns.
