Agricultural Buildings
built for the way you work
AGRICULTURAL CONSTRUCTION
Because the buildings that support your operation keep everything running smoothly.
Every agricultural property operates differently. The buildings that support your equipment, livestock, storage, and daily operations need to be thoughtfully designed around your specific requirements, both today and for years to come.
At Ruetz Contracting, we provide agricultural construction services throughout Grey-Bruce County, helping farmers, rural property owners, and businesses create practical, durable spaces tailored to the way they work. While we have experience with barns and traditional agricultural structures, we particularly specialize in large sheds, workshops, and custom outbuildings designed around unique operational needs.
Agricultural buildings demand more than simply four walls and a roof. They require thoughtful planning, durable materials, and construction methods that can withstand demanding environments while remaining functional and adaptable as operations evolve.
Some projects are straightforward storage buildings. Others involve large spans, specialized equipment requirements, complex site conditions, and highly customized features. Each project is approached with the same level of care, attention to detail, and commitment to quality.
our approach
Buildings designed around your operation.
Agricultural construction is highly functional by nature. Every building should support the way you work, improve efficiency, and provide long-term value for your property and operation.
Whether you're constructing a large equipment shed, building a new workshop, replacing an aging structure, or planning a highly customized outbuilding or barn, our team takes the time to understand your goals and recommend solutions tailored to your specific needs.
Agricultural projects often involve unique site conditions, specialized requirements, and future expansion considerations. We approach every project with thoughtful planning, practical design, and the craftsmanship required to create buildings that perform exceptionally for decades.
Not just built for today, but with tomorrow's needs in mind.
DESIGNED FOR PERFORMANCE & LONGEVITY
Sometimes practical still requires creativity.
The most successful agricultural buildings combine functionality, durability, and thoughtful planning. They are designed not only around current needs but around the realities of how operations evolve over time.

Challenging Sites
Customized Features
Large Clear Spans
Clear-span post-and-beam and steel-frame construction creates large, open interiors without the need for interior support columns, maximizing flexibility and usable space.
Whether storing oversized equipment, accommodating future operational changes, or creating multi-purpose work environments, clear-span structures provide unobstructed layouts that improve accessibility, efficiency, and adaptability. We carefully design these systems around your specific needs, ensuring your building performs exceptionally both today and as your operation evolves.
Heavy-Load Floor Systems & Drainage
Agricultural and workshop buildings often need to accommodate substantial loads, from heavy equipment and vehicles to stored materials and daily operational demands. Proper floor design goes far beyond pouring concrete—it requires thoughtful planning around slab thickness, reinforcement, load requirements, and long-term durability.
Equally important is drainage. Whether incorporating floor drains, grading strategies, wash bays, or moisture management systems, we design floor assemblies that stand up to demanding environments while supporting safe, efficient day-to-day operations.
Challenging Sites
Agricultural properties rarely offer perfectly level, straightforward building conditions. Sloping terrain, drainage requirements, varying soil conditions, accessibility considerations, and existing infrastructure all influence how a building must be designed and constructed.
Successful agricultural construction begins with understanding the site itself. We carefully evaluate these conditions and develop practical solutions that work with the land, creating durable, functional structures that perform reliably for years to come.
Customized Features
No two operations work exactly the same, and no two agricultural buildings should either. Oversized overhead doors, integrated workshops, mezzanines, specialized storage areas, natural lighting strategies, wash bays, and future expansion capabilities can all be incorporated to support your unique needs. We take the time to understand how you use your property and design highly functional spaces tailored to your equipment, workflows, and long-term operational goals.
investing in your operation
Practical structures that deliver long-term value.
From equipment storage and workshops to highly customized farm buildings, we create structures designed around the needs of your property and operation.
Large Equipment Sheds
Equipment investments deserve protection. Large storage buildings provide secure, functional environments for machinery, implements, recreational vehicles, and seasonal equipment while maximizing accessibility and operational efficiency.
Workshops & Service Buildings
Dedicated workshop spaces provide room for maintenance, repairs, fabrication, and day-to-day operations. Whether used for agricultural equipment, commercial purposes, or personal projects, these buildings can be customized around your specific requirements and workflows.
Custom Outbuildings
Every property has different needs. From multi-purpose storage buildings and hobby facilities to mixed-use structures and specialty spaces, custom outbuildings can be designed around unique operational requirements while complementing the existing property.
Barns & Agricultural Buildings
Barns remain an essential component of many agricultural operations and require thoughtful consideration of functionality, durability, and future flexibility. Whether constructing new agricultural facilities or renovating existing structures, our team can create solutions tailored to your operation.
DESIGNED around the way you work
