Consultative Approach
Many companies say they offer a consultative approach, but few take it to the level that FBi does. For instance, we've invested significant money to create helpful materials that guide prospective customers through the planning, design and construction process. Whether you are looking for step-by-step instructions to proper site preparation, design tips for labor efficiency or a video presentation on reducing your construction liability, you'll get it free of charge from FBi. We believe that an informed customer is the most satisfied customer in the long run. That's why we offer these resources, and why our "salesmen" are actually Project Sales Consultants. Their objective is to discover your needs and guide you to an appropriate solution - not just sell you a building.
Crew Power
FBi buildings are built by FBi trained and employed crews. As one of the nation's largest post-frame companies, we have a sizeable pool of field workers and a vast array of tools and equipment. We can tackle projects of nearly any size and get them done on time.
Local Presence
Our 800 number rings into the main office at Remington, Indiana, but when it comes time to meet with a salesman, you'll typically work with someone local to your area. And your building will be constructed by an FBi crew that also lives near you. Our salespeople and crews are located throughout Indiana and Illinois so they can be close to our customers.
Project Management Specialists
For the most efficient scheduling, FBi uses full-time dedicated project managers. Their sole focus is coordinating manpower and equipment to get jobs done on time. They aren't distracted by "wearing other hats" as is often done by other builders.
Engineering
Your entire building will be designed by our licensed engineers to withstand specified wind and snow loads. Many other builders only rate their trusses, leaving potential weak links elsewhere in the structure.
Safety
FBi has one of the most rigorous, comprehensive safety programs in the industry. The keystone of our award-winning safety program is a unique fall-protection system. Its use is mandatory and it virtually eliminates the most common and serious type of construction injuries, namely falls.
Insurance
FBi is fully insured, including Worker's Comp, Builder's Risk and General Liability coverages.
Since 1958
Our company was founded over 50 years ago. During that time, we've earned a reputation for treating customers right, standing by our word and building quality buildings at a fair price. That stability means you can count on us to get the job done right and take care of you in the future.
Innovation
FBi is a leader in the post-frame industry and has pioneered a long list of innovations. Many have since become the industry standards; others continue to keep us ahead of the competition. Examples of things that started first at FBi are using light, aluminum-framed sliding doors, long-lasting Kynar® 500-based finishes on Galvalume® substrate, rust-free stainless steel hex washer head screws and the optional concrete PERMA-COLUMN™ system, guaranteed for a lifetime.
Fewer Hassles
We provide a streamlined design and construction process. FBi is your single source for the pre-engineered portion of your building. Sales, design, engineering and construction is all done by FBi employees. You won't have to deal with a disconnected dealer or a subcontracted erection crew. Using only FBi employees gives us the tightest control on quality. And if something goes wrong, there is clear accountability.
Service after the sale
FBi has a separate division of specially trained crews that exclusively do warranty, repair, and renovation work. If you need to add on or reconfigure your building down the road, we'll take care of you.
