It all begins with an assessment of your unique needs, giving Tundra Build the information we need to design the best possible commercial, residential or storage building for you.
We specialize in designing buildings that thrive in Minnesota’s extreme climate. From proper building science for heated/insulated buildings to 70 pounds per square foot ground-snow load engineering, our buildings are created to endure the most difficult weather-related conditions.
We offer value engineering and construction project management, and as a partner of Wick Buildings, we use only the best building materials including:
To get started, check out the Wick 3D build-it program, where you can easily and quickly create a sample build, selecting colors, size, layout, accessories and more.
In your building’s daily clash with gravity and Nature, you need all the strength you can get in your building. That’s why Wick Buildings uses only machine stress rated (MSR) and machine evaluated lumber (MEL) in your new structure.
While the competition is using #1 or #2 visual grades that don’t measure up in the strength department, with Wick you are getting lumber that is measured by a machine to meet certain minimum strength standards. And those standards provide the following strength comparison:
— Wick’s MSR 1650 2x4’s are 26% stronger for purlins (roof panel supports)
— Wick’s MSR 1650 2x6’s are 45% stronger for girts (sidewall panel supports)
— Wick’s MSR 2400 2x6 treated laminated columns are 78% stronger
You will appreciate that strength down the road with a stronger, stouter structure and less maintenance costs. We’ve all seen the effects of gravity and Nature applying their brand of punishment to weaker lumber for 10 or 15 years!
Wick's Licensed Professional Engineers (PE) stay current with the latest codes and building technologies, and they create the standards for all Wick's designs.
Using those standards, Wick's trained designers custom design each building to your needs. You'll get both a building that meets your needs and stands the test of time.
