What’s the real difference between a pole barn and a barn-dominium—and why are more people living in them full-time?

In this episode of Builder Buzz by Home Nation, we sit down with Marvin Miller, CEO of Milmar Buildings, to talk about how post-frame construction is changing the face of affordable housing and light commercial projects across the Midwest. From simplified foundations to scalable systems and company culture, Marvin shares what it takes to build lasting structures and a loyal team.

What You'll Learn:

• What post-frame (aka pole barn) construction really means
• Why barn-dominiums are growing in popularity—and how they're actually lived in
• How Milmar manages projects across 6+ states with high retention and low turnover
• The unique leadership model that keeps their crews aligned and scalable
• Why focusing on a single building method helped them grow without chaos
