Exclusive Designs. Local Build.
ABOUT US
Outbuildings.com shares a common DNA with our sister company, Gardensheds.com that was founded in 1993. The process is different; the end result is the same—an unrivaled small building. At our core we are a design and service company with a consuming passion for small-scale architecture, unique materials, and historical authenticity. We offer a turnkey service with our OUTbuildings—from design to completion.
Each building KIT includes premium, proprietary building materials, hardware, and subcomponents—distinctive items you will not find elsewhere—all of which we mill, cast, forge and handcraft in-house. It is this mix of design, materials and craftsmanship that define our unique buildings. The only difference is that instead of shipping a fully assembled and finished building, we now ship the same building, designed specifically for each client, in a KIT format, to be assembled onsite at a client’s residence/business by one of our certified and approved affiliate carpenter partners. We can also work directly with your preferred carpenter/builder. All Affiliate Carpenter Partners have completed a workshop at either our NJ/PA locations and have successfully constructed one of our buildings. Either way, with our Affiliate Partner or your select carpenter, you benefit with a local connection.
PHILOSOPHY
For any endeavor, it’s important to have a sense of mission and purpose. Ours is to offer the finest small buildings that are designed to enhance and beautify the landscape of our lives—wherever that may be. Our buildings and structures are remarkably adaptable to a variety of settings—rural, suburban, estate, town, country, costal, farm, and ranch.
If asked why we do what we do, we would let our work speak for itself. In our work you would discover and find what defines us—excellence and integrity.
Design is the cornerstone on which we define ourselves. History, tradition, materials, place, utility, and function inform each original building. Before we introduce a new model to the marketplace we go through an extensive exercise of research, sketches, models, prototypes and refinement to get the ideal balance of form, function, scale, proportion, materials, detail, and cost.
Craftsmanship stands at the helm of our team effort. Design alone does not make a building beautiful. The sum of what we do, from conception to completion, is an orchestrated exercise in talent and logistics. If it were easy others would be doing it. Instead, we’re quite literally the only company in the country doing what we do at the skill and scale we do. For clients there’s an obvious benefit in working with a company that focuses exclusively on small-scale architecture. It’s all we do. We don’t build fences, craft kitchen cabinets, or do house renovations and additions. What we offer is unrivaled design, engineering, craftsmanship, and service under one roof—all dedicated to making the finest OUTbuilding for you.
