History

Our History

Founded by Victor Spane in 1945, Spane Buildings has a deeply rooted history as Washington’s most trusted builder of post frame buildings. The company’s portfolio of expertly-crafted structures can be seen in communities all across the state as the finest garages, barns, agricultural buildings, homes, commercial structures, and horse arenas.

Over the years Spane has built a legacy of trust and honor through meticulous construction of thousands of buildings. Mr. Spane set the standard as an exceptional craftsman, turning post frame construction into an art form. His innovative designs and streamlined construction processes were so innovative, he was awarded several patents. This standard continues to serve as the foundation for how the company builds today.

I have used several contractors over the years and Spane was the best experience yet. They were prompt and professional through the entire process. They made change orders easy and transparent (I continued to come up with new things I wanted mid process) and I was truly impressed with how quickly the building went up. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a quality build at a great price with no headache.
