ATWOOD - Vap Construction, renowned for its commitment to excellence and durability, has been named the recipient of the “Barn of the Year” award for 2023 from the National Frame Building Association (NFBA) in their Agricultural Storage/Workshops category. Every year, the NFBA presents awards in twelve categories for builders who meet their strict criteria and build to the highest standards in the industry.
This is the third time Vap Construction has been presented with this prestigious recognition.
“We are thrilled to receive the ‘Barn of the Year’ award, which recognizes our team’s dedication to quality,” said Linda Vap, vice president of Vap Construction. “Our buildings meet and exceed the highest industry standards and that’s what NFBA accreditation is all about, “
The winning building for 2023 is called Rooney Ranch Parking Haven, located in Jelm, CO.
As Kurt Petricka, a hand at Rooney Ranch, continued to help the cattle ranch grow, the need for room to expand became a necessity. The team at Vap Construction customized the building with seven overhead doors, concrete, insulation, and other design features to make it both visually appealing and functional for parking and storing employee vehicles during the brutally cold winters.
Rooney Ranch is located just south of the Wyoming border in Larimer County, Colorado, which created a need for more structural engineering than most builds completed by Vap Construction. After evaluating the high wind speed and snow load requirements, the determination was made that a post-frame structure was the obvious choice.
