Buildings That Perform As “Systems.”
You see, unlike other types of building practices where bulk materials are simply dropped off at the site without any pre-
engineering or plans, our Lester structures come pre-engineered, specific to your exact requirements and local codes.
Lester buildings are delivered ready to build, as complete building systems, right down to the last piece of trim and
screws. Click here to read the case study on what type of building construction survives best in storms.
But the pre-engineering of Lester buildings starts long before we ever start working with you on your specific building.
Indeed, separate components and connections, as well as their endless combinations, are tested in a variety of full-
scale tests.
Design Versatility.
Another reason we teamed up with Lester is their design flexibility and engineering expertise. Some may think of pre-
engineered buildings as inflexible "off the shelf," pre-fab style buildings. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact,
our Lester structures can be finished with any number of exterior wall / roof options - inside and out.
For instance, exterior walls may be wood, steel or masonry. Roofing material may be traditional asphalt shingles, wood
shingles, steel panel, or our Lester Uni-Rib™ Roof/Siding . These are custom buildings in every sense of the word.
It's simple: we want to provide a wider range of solutions. Lester allows us to do just that. Our customers are the real
winners!
The Benefits Of Pre-engineered Lester Buildings.
All across the country, there are building owners who find it remarkable that they can't tell "from the outside" that their
structures are Lester pre-engineered buildings. That's because there are an amazing number of design features and
options that allow Lester buildings to take on literally any shape, style and finish. Lester's pre-engineered designs and
controlled manufacturing processes translate into dramatic benefits to you. For one, work site job flow is efficient, with
little or no cutting. This translates into reduced "at the job" construction time and less chance for errors, which translates
into: Streamlined construction.
Total interior and exterior design flexibility.
Lower in-place costs.
The need for "pre-engineered" keeps growing.
In today's expanding, more competitive economy, the need for faster, more efficient building processes has grown more
important. Because of this, Lester now provides solutions for a wide variety of building "end-use" categories, far beyond
its original core business of ag and livestock structures. A number of well-known, national companies, with "fast track"
building plans, depend on Lester and independent builders like us, to provide the unique benefits of pre-engineered
building solutions. Indeed, companies like McDonald's, Sears, Purina Mills and Land 0' Lakes have all utilized Lester
buildings.

The Major Benefits of a Post Frame Building
(This is what separates the men from the boys)
Interlocking Wall System
The Saddle truss connection is the centerpiece of Lester's well-known wall system, with girts butting up against the
larger ply of the column, forming a rigid, interlocking wall system. In addition to this typical Lester framing system, we
also offer a continuous girt or flush frame system.
Interlocking Truss to Column Connection
The engineered saddled truss connection allows secure fastening from both sides of the column, more than doubling
the strength of the connection. This also allows for a more efficient load transer from roof to wall.
Uni-Frame I Footing
Provides a consistent high-quality foundation, straighter eave line and makes your building less prone to wind
damage. Lester's pre-cast footings don't rely on variable moisture found in the soil to ensure their integrity.
Total Building Design Superiority
The Uni-Frame system provides superior structural integrity through one source. Trusses, roof purlins, bracing,
columns and wall girts are engineered as a complete package. You avoid the anxiety of having multiple-component
suppliers concerned only with their parts of the building. You can even benefit from lower insurance rates in some
instances.
The Strongest Steel Panel in the Industry
The Uni-Rib panel is Lester's exclusive steel roof and wall panel. It features a unique design combination of superior
steel tensile strength, and advanced corrugation pattern and optimum thickness to create the strongest 29-gauge
panel available today. Plus, only the highest quality exterior screw fasteners are used for strength and corrosion
resistance and are backed by the company's rigid testing program.
Flush Purlin Roof System
Stronger purlin (2 x 6 versus 2 x 4 used by many others) and less deflection. Southern Yellow Pine/Douglas Fir
provides better fastener holding strength. Flush design greatly reduces bird nesting, improves truss bracing and
increases diaphragm strength. Uni-Lock saddle hangers eliminate purlin roll and provide a stronger connection while
increasing resistance to wind uplift.
Uni-Frame Columns
Lester's multi-ply Uni-Frame columns have a bending capacity up to 60% greater than solid 6" x 6" posts and allow for
more uniform penetration of CCA treatment. Factory-assembled, laminated columns feature a mechanically controlled
nailing pattern assuring consistency; thus, overall structural integrity is improved especially if wood knots are present.
Flexible Foundation System
Lester offers the flexibility of setting columns in the ground or on a concrete foundation. Lester's Uni-Frame II system
offers the quality of a durable, steel-reinforced, poured concrete foundation.
