Many things have changed and improved over the years with post frame construction. This has allowed anyone from large companies to first-time small business owners to open and operate their own businesses. There are many forms of buildings that can be used to start a business; this is where Hanover Building Systems can help.

We may be known for our typical garages, horse barns, and storage buildings. We have also been doing commercial buildings for many years as well, from auto garages, small office buildings to complete church facilities. Today’s construction is allowing us to do this. We can bring your future building with-in your budget and allow your business to be up and running much quicker with post frame construction.

We work closely with architects and engineers to get your new building started. This will have you on your way to the ultimate American dream of owning and operating your own business! We have so many different ways that the design can work to your advantage, from open office design to a complex design. This makes post frame construction the best way to move into your new building adventure.

If this is something you have been dreaming about for some time, that new office building or auto garage is right around the corner. Let Hanover Building Systems make that come true; we can help you achieve this from start to finish.

May of 2012 presents a great accomplishment for Hanover Building Systems; this will be our 30^th year of service to the pole building industry. We have been mostly serving Adams, York, and Carroll Counties during this time period. We have made it our goal to do the best job from start to finish, from the design stages to the completed product.

From the first day our doors opened way back in 1982 with owners Gerry Richardson and Jim Heasley running the business, many things have changed within the industry and our business. We have seen struggling economies and new partners taking over and running the company. Reb Balzanna took over control of the construction department in 2001, after Jim retired. With the company changing in many ways, Dave Forsythe has begun overseeing the sales department, since the retiring of Gerry.

Hanover Building Systems takes great pride in what we do for our customers, and for the pole building industry. We still use the old school ways of building and make it a point to see that our customers are completely satisfied. We communicate one on one with our clients, and will continue this for each and every customer.

So let’s celebrate the past 30 years and the future to come. Keep the dream alive for your next garage for that classic car, or a beautiful new home for your show horses. Contact  Hanover Building Systems to make that next building project a complete success from beginning to end.

The 2012 Carroll County Home Show seemed to have lots of activity on the 2-day event. The weather outside was not as it had been in the past weeks, sunny and gorgeous. It was overcast and slight rain in the clouds. So this was a perfect weekend for homeowners to venture out and see what was new and upcoming for 2012 for their possible renovations and changes to their homesteads.

On hand at the show, was a wide range of vendors from Real Estate, and Landscaping to Pole Building Contractors. There were many aisles of things to see and samples to take home to explore and dream about.

As one of our sales associates was manning our booth that we had at the show, he was seeing how folks were gazing and talking with the vendors. He enjoyed watching the kids that came with their parents going from stand to stand, and politely asking if they could have some of the candy that was on the tables. He also engaged in conversation with past customers stopping by and telling their stories and experiences they had with Hanover Building Systems and making new friends and showing how well we build our jobs.

So as the show came to a close for another year, 2012 seems to be off to a good start. With the struggling economy and fuel prices on the rise, it looks like homeowners are starting to make that next step towards that special project, addition or new building they have been talking about or dreaming about for some time. Contact Hanover Building Systems to get your project started today.

Speed of construction and economy are the biggest selling points for many congregations. Also post-frame construction works well for adding classroom additions and multi-purpose rooms when it would be much more costly to bring in excavators for installing continuous foundations for other kinds of construction.

Won’t our church look like a ‘barn’ using post-frame construction? Actually almost any type of external appearance created by other types of building systems can be achieved using post-frame.

Are post-frame buildings energy efficient? Long term savings in heating and air conditioning expenses are possible because of the wide spacing between structural members and the exceptionally spacious cavity created within post-frame buildings.

Does your building match your churches ministry mission and vision? Our design professionals at Hanover Building Systems will meet with your building committee to determine what kind of building will meet your vision and cost parameters and work with you until this is achieved. 

What gives Hanover Building Systems an edge over other builders when it comes to church construction?  Our company employs a retired pastor who has experienced numerous building programs in his ministry tenure. There is a personality to church buildings that is different from other commercial structures and needs to be designed to meet specific ministry and peoples needs. The building should be molded around the needs of ministries rather than have ministries fit into a floor plan.

Flexibility is key to church design. At Hanover buildings we are able to build both conventionally and post-frame and blend the building types to meet a churches need and budget constraints.

Congratulations to Family Life Worship Center on their newly completed church addition by Hanover Building Systems!

I found Hanover Building System, Inc. not only professional but also very personal. The work they provided for Family Life Worship Center was not only that of the highest quality but the workers were exceptionally polite and courteous. Bi-weekly there was a meeting of all personnel involved in the building project that I found very informative and helpful. Everyone at Family Life Worship Center was very satisfied with the results. We will need additional improvements in the future and we will use Hanover for all our building needs.
