Barns, Garages and The Workshop of Your Dreams

Apr 30, 2024 | 4:14 PM

If you think a building project always comes with uncertainty – timelines, the true cost, and what it’ll actually end up looking like – Farrow Built has finetuned a process that eliminates all the questions ahead of time.

Want to see 3-D images of your idea? The Enderby-based building company has software that whips up a rendering for you in just 10 or 15 minutes.

Concerns about what the project will cost when all is said and done? Farrow Built’s program recalculates the price with every mouse click. “With our program’s live pricing, everything that we add and remove, it’s going to show the updated price,” said founder Duncan Farrow. “Move a window, it’s going to update the price however it affects it.”

This 3D rendering of your project, done with you at an on-site consultation, lets you see it in relation to your site. “We can spin it around, look at it from different angles,” said Duncan, “and it’s super customizable, so it’s very easy to get exactly what people want designed.”

Farrow Built specializes in building shops, barns, and garages. Regardless of the project, the software isn’t all that sets them apart. You’ll also receive the following guarantees:

  • A guaranteed start date within six weeks of permit approval
  • A guaranteed completion date (or you get 5% of the cost back)
  • Free annual inspections for the first three years
  • A lifetime warranty on workmanship “So if they ever have a problem, they just give us a call, and we come fix it.”

Duncan explained that the warranty is a balance that ensures there’ll be no rushing to make a guaranteed completion date. “We’re not setting unreasonable completion dates. It’s just so you know it is going to be done by a certain date. We’re not going to set one that we can’t keep.”

Not all of Farrow Built projects are from the ground up. One of Duncan’s favourite jobs was an old riding arena with posts that were rotting off. “I like taking old buildings and making them useful again. That’s a 40-year-old arena. Now it’ll be good for at least another 40 years. Should be good basically forever if it’s maintained properly.”

Even if you’re not at the stage to start the project process, an excellent way to get a feel for how this high-performance team works is their online content. They’re very active on social media, including behind-the-scenes of current projects, tutorials like Tips for Working With Metal Cladding, and loads of other videos.
