Build With Us · Central Oregon

You're choosing the person, as much as the building.

Anyone shopping for a builder in Central Oregon is really asking one question: who can I trust with the biggest project of my life? Here is how we earn that, step by step, in writing.

A year-plus search for the right land Family moves into an RV on the property Well, septic, power, permits: the real costs surface Surveys, geotech, engineering, county timelines That roadmap became our planning system
The journey behind the company, in five stops.

Who you'll be working with

Sean Kampstra plans buildings the way he wishes his had been planned.

Sean spent more than ten years running a remodeling company in Oregon before founding High Performance Post Frame. Then he became his own hardest client: a year-plus land search, a family living in an RV on the property, and a crash course in every cost that shows up between "we found our land" and "we broke ground."

That is why working with HPPF feels like hiring a consultant who happens to build. Sean walks you through every meaningful choice on your project, what it costs, what it does for comfort and durability, and what he would do on his own house, before you commit to any of it.

Structural engineering on every project is handled with a Central Oregon firm that specializes in post frame, and every plan is stamped for your county's snow, wind, and seismic requirements.

How working together goes

Four stages, each with a decision point you control.

1. Fit Review

A short inquiry, then a conversation about your property, goals, timeline, and investment range. You'll know where your project stands and what we'd look at first. If we're the wrong fit, we'll point you somewhere useful.

2. Design & Preconstruction

A paid professional engagement, typically 2% to 5% of the anticipated budget, that produces engineered plans, a complete project budget, and a construction-ready package. The deliverables are yours to keep.

3. Construction Proposal

Because the plan is complete before pricing, the construction proposal is built from a documented scope you've already read. You decide with the full picture in front of you.

4. Construction & Aftercare

A written update with photos every Friday, a decision tracker so choices are made once, milestone billing, and check-ins at 30 days, six months, and one year after move-in.

The order matters. Every horror story starts with a price given before the scope existed. Our process puts the scope first, which is what lets the price mean something. Here is exactly what preconstruction includes.

Do your homework on us

What to check before you hire any builder, including this one.

These checks take an evening. Run them on every builder you're considering.

Look up the CCB license.

Search Oregon's Construction Contractors Board for license status, bond, insurance, and complaint history. Ours is CCB# 262422.

Ask for references a year in.

Owners who have lived through a full winter can tell you about comfort, energy bills, and how warranty questions were handled. Ask us and we'll connect you.

Ask who stamps the engineering.

A residential post-frame building in Central Oregon carries real snow and wind loads. Ask any builder which engineer stamps their plans and for which counties.

Ask what the quote includes.

A building-only number and a whole-project number can differ by six figures once well, septic, power, and site work enter. Ask every builder which one they gave you.

Are we the right fit?

We do our best work for people who want to understand their project.

  • You own Central Oregon land, have it under contract, or are actively looking.
  • You want one building that handles living, working, and storage, or a high-performance home that fits your acreage.
  • You care how the building performs in February, in August, and in year twenty.
  • You want the full financial picture early, including the site costs beyond the building.
  • You value a builder who explains the why behind every recommendation.

Typical HPPF projects range from $450,000 to $2.5 million and up, depending on scope, site, and finish level. If your project is a commodity agricultural building, we're glad to point you to builders who focus there.
