Farm & Ranch Design Process
Rafter P Construction excels in ranch construction with custom fencing, barns, stalls, and corrals. From a raw piece of land, our team can design & construct a recreational facility or commercial project for your livestock. We have experience in constructing buildings for equipment & hay storage as well as simple equestrian barns and luxurious show barns. We take into account every detail such as rounding the corners of all of the metal to prevent cutting the livestock. Rafter P Construction can also provide pasture maintenance, development, & irrigation to better serve your animals or increase yield on your hay crop.

The consultation consists of our initial customer meeting where we discuss all the details of your farm & ranch project. This can be done in person or in a virtual setting. Our goal in this meeting is to establish the wants and needs of your project and form an outline for your total scope of work. A site visit might also be required to help obtain a full vision of your project.
Once we have a rough sketch of your plans finalized, our team can work up a detailed budget for your farm & ranch project. This can be accomplished through another meeting (in person or virtual), phone calls, or emails. Once your budget and scope of work are finalized, our customers will put a retainer down to start the drawing process.
Our team will start designing the plans to the exact specifications of our customers. As soon as your plans are complete and approved by our customer, we send our plans out for bid to all licensed trades for the work we do not self-perform. After all bids are received back, our team will work up your contract that includes the entire scope of work. Customers can expect our contracts to show the numbers per the respective section and totaled at the bottom, so they can see what is driving the cost of their project. We want to work off a number that both us at Rafter P Construction our customers can feel confident in. We typically try to avoid change orders, which is why we include all the details of your project in your plans and your contract. Once all these details are approved by the customer, your project is ready for funding.
Once funding is available, our project manager and superintendents work closely together with our customers plans and contract to ensure the easiest process we can provide for our customers. They work through all scheduling with our self-performed work as well as subcontractors. With a superintendent assigned to each specific build, we ensure our quality and our Rafter P Construction standards are present in every project.
At the end of our project, our customer and superintendent walk the entire job thoroughly to form a punch list. After the punch list is signed off by customer, your completed farm & ranch project is all yours!
