What people build around Batesville
Cattle in the hills, row crops in the bottoms, and acreage in between.
Cattle & hay barns
Under sixty feet, tubular steel, and it isn’t close.
Machine sheds
Width for row-crop equipment. Red iron past eighty feet.
Shops
Insulated or not, tubular is usually the answer unfinished.
Barndominiums
Steel truss. Drywall attaches to the frame, so there’s no second wall to build.
We also work in cold-formed steel. See what a steel building costs.
Permitting in Batesville and Independence County
Inside Batesville
- The city permits inside its own limits
- We confirm setbacks and size limits before drawings are produced
Rural Independence County
- Like most of Arkansas, usually no county building permit
- The state code still applies
White River bottoms
- No work starts in a mapped floodplain until a floodplain development permit is issued
- That applies even where there’s no building permit
In the bottoms, check the flood map before the footprint. The floodplain permit can set how high the slab sits, and that’s cheaper to plan for than to discover.
