Whether they be buildings for housing livestock or storing feed, it is vital that you have the correct number and adequately sized farm buildings to suit your needs.

Housing Livestock

Suitable for animals such as cattle, we at John Ruck can design and build the ideal building for both yours and the animal’s needs.  Sheltering them from the elements, our farm buildings will provide adequate space for your entire herd along with the additional space required for you to carry out work. We can also provide you with doors, gates and feeding stations along with any other steel structures your farm building may need.

Food and Grain Stores

It is vital that the food you store for your animals is kept secure and dry for you to use as and when is needed. Our ability to build food stores from scratch means that we can design a build that is completely unique to you and will serve its purpose to its maximum, making life as easy as possible for you.

Temperature Controlled Cold Stores

Along with all of our constructions, we can provide a range of high quality, in depth designs for you to choose from.

Before any construction work begins, it is crucial that individuals gain planning permission to build a structure. This is particularly important when building upon farmland, which is often protected to varying degrees. At JRC we appreciate that many farm owners will have limited knowledge in regards to applying for planning permission, therefore we can fully co-ordinate the process before we continue with the construction of farm buildings. Taking the time to complete this process properly can often save land owners considerable amounts of time and money that may otherwise be spent on removing the structures.

Whilst land owners will not be expected to apply for planning permission if they are altering the land in any way for agricultural purposes, they will have to apply if they plan to build upon the land – even if this is as part of wider agricultural operations. The main reason why this process has to be followed is because the local authorities are keen to minimise the loss of farmland.

At JRC we will first begin by looking at what the land owner hopes to achieve in terms of the design of their agricultural buildings. Using the information from the initial consultation we will then draw up thorough architectural plans, which will be used as part of the planning application.

The benefit of working with our team, who can carry out both the planning stage and the construction, is that as soon as approval is received we will be able to start work. This improves the likelihood that any building work will be completed within the client’s strict time constraints.

When constructing any sort of building, whether a commercial, domestic or industrial building, it is essential that the required regulations are followed and planning permission applied for. This not only ensures the structural soundness of a property, but it also prevents expensive corrections having to be made.

When constructing any type of building it is essential that architects and builders follow strict codes of practice to ensure optimum safety and structural soundness. The same principles apply when constructing farm buildings. When commissioning a company to construct any agricultural building it is important to find a specialist that follows the BS 5502 code of practice. This not only suggests that the building will be of a higher quality initially, but that it will require less maintenance over time.

JRC is one such company; they have specialised in the construction and maintenance of industrial and farm buildings for many years and over that time they have continued to adhere to the very latest industry standards. Whilst some customers may think that a quality farm or industrial building is slightly more expensive initially, in most cases they are much longer lasting and will require fewer repair works.

The BS 5502 code references a number of aspects that should be taken into consideration when constructing a farm building including; building regulations, general design, fire precautions, design and construction of livestock buildings, milking premises and crop stores.

As designers and constructors of a wide selection of farm buildings, from livestock premises to grain stores, JRC are well versed in the standards relating to each variety of agricultural building. They can even help property owners to apply for planning permission, offering help and guidance where necessary.

To arrange for a member of the team to visit your premises, contact them by filling out their online contact form, or by calling one of the local telephone numbers on their website. They have a number of images on their website showing some of the work that they have completed previously, plus details about the services that they have to offer for the installation and maintenance of industrial and farm buildings.

A dilapidated and inadequate farm building will inevitably lead to problems further down the line, most importantly in providing an unsafe environment for any livestock and staff that operate within the building and also potential damage to machinery and equipment. Efficient and professional teams like John Ruck Construction (JRC) are able to supply the ‘full package’ for the construction of new steel-framed farm buildings: from drawing up designs and on site consultation to full build and post-project clean-up, to ensure peace of mind. It makes sense then to invest now rather than regret later.

Versatile construction teams like JRC will be able to supply and erect a host of steel framed farm buildings suitable for a range of requirements, e.g. livestock housing, grain stores and temperature controlled cold stores etc. Alongside these any ancillary steel works can be completed to finish off the construction, such as the fabrication of gates, doors, feed barriers – all tailored to the customer’s specifications.

It may be the case that instead of having a new build construction supplied maybe you simply require your existing industrial building refurbished. In this instance JRC can incorporate key features such as new windows, a heating and electrical overhaul, as well as fire and security systems.

The supply and erection of industrial and farms buildings should all be undertaken to the most exacting standards, to ensure the safety of the inhabitants or possessions stored within. It’s good to know then that JRC’s buildings are designed and fabricated to meet the BS5950 and BS5502 quality standards.

All necessary planning and bilding regulation applications will need to be submitted correctly and promptly to ensure the build gets the green light. Knowledgeable firms such as JRC are able to advise and guide you through the whole process, even undertaking the application on your behalf if you wish. This can take the form of producing and submitting drawings to preparing planning and farm buildings regulation applications.

There is a whole array of complex regulations regarding the construction of farm buildings, and whether these require prior planning permission. This can be a very confusing time for farm owners, so in an ideal world your farm building supplier should also be able to offer advice and guidance on any applications that need to be completed. This process can be quite drawn-out and stressful, so if your supplier will undertake this for you then that is a weight off the mind. The team at John Ruck for instance are there to help at every step of the way.

All farm buildings that are designed need to meet the BS 5950 and BS 5502 standards. The BS 5950 standard aims to achieve the highest competence in the design, fabrication and erection of structural steelwork. The BS 5502 standards are a code of best practice regarding the design, construction and loading of agricultural structures or an industrial building. Acquiring these Kitemarks is a great indictment of the quality of firms’ operations, and assures potential clients as to the reliability and durability of these buildings.

Farm land of 5ha or more is permitted to have any building work undertaken on it, as long as prior notification to the relevant council has been submitted. Areas of up to 5ha may be limited in the type of work that can be completed, although a building modified to change its usage from a non-agricultural building to an agricultural one, or from holding machinery to housing livestock for instance is not subject to planning approval.

John Ruck Construction are passionate about farm buildings, after all they were founded as a steel frame buildings supplier over 30 years ago. All of their buildings fit neatly into the existing nature and arrangements of the farm, as this is essential in preserving the natural environment of the area.
