Is a barndominium a smart choice for a new home near the interstate?
Many people like the open floor plan of a barndominium. Zoning and utilities for your lot should be part of the plan.[2]

Questions from a growing town
General information. Every project is different, so call us about yours.
How do I add storage for a boat or camper for trips to the lake?
A pole barn or steel garage can be sized for boats, campers and trailers. Tell us the height and length you need.[2,3]
Do you build small commercial buildings for new businesses?
Yes, RBC designs and builds commercial metal buildings, with turnkey construction available. Start with how you will use it.[2]
Where do I start on permits?
Contact the Priceville town office or Morgan County to ask what applies to your lot. Then bring those details to us.[2]
Growth since the interstate came
Priceville was settled in the 1820s and stayed small until the 1950s, when Interstate 65 construction brought rapid economic expansion. It incorporated in 1975, and the population grew from 966 in 1980 to 3,512 in 2020.[2]
Growth like this often means new homes and new work buildings on larger lots. If you are planning, a barndominium, a home workshop or a pole barn may be on the list. Wheeler Lake passes just north of town and Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge lies between Priceville and Decatur, so many lots also have outdoor interests.[2,3]
