Metal Building Systems: How Tyler Building Systems Helped Create a State-of-the-Art Equestrian Center in East Texas

Situation


Jason Krohn always knew that his career would involve horses, and he pursued his passion to become a horse trainer. With training services and discipline focused primarily on English, Park, and Driving, he knew he needed to offer horse owners a state of the art facility for training, showing, breeding, and marketing their highly prized Arabian horses. 


Along with Lauren Grabski, Jason sought to build a world-class equestrian center that could showcase their show horses and breeding program in their hometown of Bullard, Texas. They envisioned a facility with cutting-edge amenities and designs that would not only serve their operational needs, but also create an exceptional experience for clients and their horses.


They were looking for a multi-building complex encompassing a riding arena, barns, stalls, riding pens, and more. While they had a clear vision, the initial plans lacked detailed architectural drawings and structural design. The complex project scope involved multiple buildings with intricate design elements, requiring extensive coordination and engineering. And knowing that they weren’t the design-build experts, they understood that their vision would likely evolve throughout the project, likely requiring a building systems partner that would need to adapt to change orders and extensions to the timeline.

They chose Tyler Building Systems (TBS) as their metal building manufacturing partner.


Serving East Texas and the surrounding areas for over 50 years, TBS offered a proven track record and established relationships with local contractors and suppliers, with a customer focus to ensure smooth project execution.

Jay Morris expertly managed the project timeline and budget at TBS, while coordinating with the other subcontractors. It was no easy task, as the client continued to request changes and updates throughout the build. But TBS remained proactive and adaptable, seamlessly adjusting the design and construction plans to accommodate the changing needs of Oak Haven Farms.
