What people build around Eau Claire
There are acreage shops, dairy and crop farms and city garages along the Chippewa River.
Acreage shops
Unfinished and under sixty feet wide, tubular steel is usually the answer, insulated or not.
Farm buildings
Machine sheds and hay storage go up across the county. Red iron takes over past eighty feet.
Barndominiums
Steel truss is the fit. Drywall attaches to the frame, and the house is built to the state dwelling code.
Commercial
Cold-formed suits permitted, occupied buildings with a finished eave.

Eau Claire County
- The county lists new detached accessory buildings among projects that don’t need a county building permit.
- Wiring one still takes an electrical permit.
- Cities, villages and towns like Seymour issue their own permits.
No county building permit doesn’t mean no rules. Where Eau Claire County handles building permits, a detached shop doesn’t need one, but setbacks, zoning and the electrical permit still apply. We confirm who has the address and what they’ll check before the building is ordered.
We also serve Altoona, Chippewa Falls, Menomonie, Fall Creek and Augusta. See all of Wisconsin.
