Wick Buildings to Build Next Generation Facility in Mazomanie, Wisconsin

Wick Buildings, Inc. will break ground on a new production and office complex in June 2024.

Property is located on the western edge of Mazomanie on Wick Drive and Highway 14

Expected to be completed and occupied the summer of 2025, the new location will consolidate multiple production and warehouse units into a single 90,000 square foot production facility and 12,000 square foot warehouse will allow Wick Buildings to achieve improved production efficiencies, better logistics and simplified material handling. The attached 15,000 square foot 2-story office will provide innovative workspaces for a cross-functional team of employees.

“While our current campus has served Wick well over the years, we are looking forward to the growth and innovation a state-of-the-art production and work environment will bring,” said Allan Breidenbach, President and General Manager for Wick Buildings, Inc. “John F. Wick started this company 70 years ago in Mazomanie. It seems only fitting to break ground this year on a facility that will launch us into the next 70 years, and will be located on Wick Drive in Mazomanie.”

“As a majority employee-owned organization, our team takes pride in delivering high quality products and customer satisfaction on each and every job we deliver, and they are thrilled to know that we will be working out of a facility that will ensure we can do that for years to come,” adds Breidenbach.

You understand that barndominium/shouse pricing is comparable to studwall home construction, particularly those with traditional 2-3 car garages and basements. Interior finishes are the same in either building type, and the advantages of a barndominium/shouse largely go away when the garage/shop space is modest and a basement is required. In many cases, you can expect to pay the same as studwall construction (i.e., somewhere between $175 - $250 per square foot depending on your market).
You want an attached garage and/or shop space > standard 2-3 car garage (i.e., > 1,200 square feet). Using post-frame building design, a barndominium/shouse is able to create large usable spaces cost-effectively in ways that traditional studwall construction cannot.
You like the aesthetic of steel (for the roof and sidewalls) typically used in a barndominium/shouse. Alternate materials may be used on the exterior, but they add cost.
You are comfortable using a concrete floating slab (or equivalent) to meet your foundation needs. A barndominium/shouse can be built on nearly any concrete foundation, including traditional basements. However, traditional basements are not necessary with a barndominium/shouse and having one increases cost.
You want to do some of the interior work yourself (such as mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fixtures), or you want to be the general contractor for that scope of work. While some builders will do full turnkey projects, most prefer to perform work through completion of the building shell.
