Layton's Trusted
Pole Barn Builder
Davis County is one of the fastest-growing areas on the Wasatch Front. More homeowners are adding pole barns, shops, and barndominiums to take advantage of their land. Sam Tams has built throughout the corridor from Layton to Bountiful, and we understand what Davis County projects require.
The Davis County Building Department has specific requirements around setbacks, lot coverage, and agricultural designations. We're familiar with the process and can help you determine what's permittable on your specific parcel before you've spent anything.
From a simple storage pole barn in Kaysville to a full barndominium on a Farmington rural lot, we design and build structures that fit your property and your budget.

WHAT WE BUILD
SERVICES IN Layton & davis COUNTY
Every structure is designed from scratch for your site, use case, and budget. No off-the-shelf kits.
01 - POLE BARNS
shop & storage barns
For Layton-area homeowners with larger lots who need dedicated workshop, RV storage, or equipment space. We build from simple open-span shells to fully finished shops with concrete, insulation, and LED lighting packages.
02 - BARDOMINIUMS
BARNDOMINIUMS
A growing trend in Davis County, live/work structures that combine a shop or barn with finished residential space. We've designed and built barndominiums with full kitchens, bathrooms, and loft bedrooms on the Wasatch Front.
03 - APARTMENTS
LEAN-TO APARTMENTS
Turn your pole barn's lean-to into a functional living unit- guest suite, short-term rental, or in-law quarters. Great for Davis County properties where a standalone ADU isn't feasible.
