Manufacturer-neutral = faster delivery
We aren't locked into one manufacturer. We price each building with the suppliers who can engineer it to Lincoln County loads and deliver it fastest, so harvest season and the building season don't get eaten by one factory's backlog.
Concrete that matches the building
We pour footings, stem walls, shop floors, equipment pads, driveways and flatwork. With a PEMB, the anchor bolts have to match the manufacturer's plan exactly, and we set them ourselves. See our concrete flatwork services.
Lincoln County design criteria
Lincoln County publishes its own building design guidelines (1):
- Ground snow load: 50 psf
- Roof snow load: 40 psf
- Frost depth: 30 inches
- Wind speed: 85 mph, exposure C
- Seismic design category: C
- Radon zone: Zone 2
- Slab rebar: Not required, but highly recommended by the County
These differ from Spokane County (39 psf ground snow, 24-inch frost). A building priced for Spokane loads isn't automatically right for Davenport. We follow the County's recommendation and reinforce slabs.
Permits in Lincoln County
The Lincoln County Building Division handles permits for unincorporated Lincoln County. The office is at the courthouse, 450 Logan St, Davenport (509-721-0539) (2). Projects inside an incorporated town may go through that town. We'll confirm which office applies and prepare the permit package.
What does it cost?
Raven's going rate for an installed pre-engineered metal building or pole building is about $60–$75 per sq ft, not including electrical, plumbing or utility hookups, which are extra. A 30x40 (1,200 sq ft) runs about $72,000–$90,000 installed and a 40x60 (2,400 sq ft) about $144,000–$180,000. Kit prices you see online are materials only, before freight, erection and the foundation. For the full line-by-line math, including the slab, see our metal shop with slab cost breakdown. Rural sites often add gravel access, power runs and grading, and we price those up front.
