Pole Barn Kit, plans, builders in central NC?

[TimberMan]

I am planning to build a pole barn as my first accessory structure to my new house but not sure where to begin. I'm in the greater Raleigh, NC area and regardless of what I do, I will need engineered plans for my county (Chatham).

the overall goal is to build an equivalent of an enclosed 2-car garage with lean-to on one side giving me room to store my tractor, side by side, truck and associated junk / tools. The barn does not need to match the house but I want it to look like a legit barn that would have been built long ago so I am fine with a steel structure if that is cost efficient but the siding will need to be wood or maybe fiber cement. In the ideal world I would have this timber framed using nothing but wood but not if it is a huge cost difference.

Does anyone here know if there are local companies with good reputations that build such buildings? Are there any kits that I should check out? Is there a quick over / under on wood vs. steel cost?

Any help on where to begin will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you haven’t you can look at some of the groups on facebook like Barndominium groups or pole barn groups.

I think you will find National Barn in your area. From what I've looked at, they seem to offer a pretty good product. They also have an online configuration tool that allows you to get a quote quickly.
