Questions people ask

Do you design only pole barns?

No. We design pole barns, car condominiums, residential new construction, and commercial new construction across Minnesota.

Can design lead directly into construction?

Yes. Many clients use Orton for design-through-build so one team owns the vision from blueprint to finished structure.

What is the difference between Custom Designs and New Construction Design?

Custom Designs explains our commercial and residential design process. New Construction Design is the service page for ordering build-ready plans that can hand off into Orton construction.

Where does Orton Companies design buildings?

From our Big Lake yard we design for sites across Minnesota. Send the parcel, use, and a rough size and we will follow up with a free estimate.
