A row counts company statements, not full-home inclusions or capabilities. Mechanical-trade evidence may name one trade. Handoff describes the endpoint for that business role. Each row totals the selected sample size.

Open the source-level comparison.

01 / Structural system

Built-Rite Buildings ↗

Varies / options

The specification examples use stud framing; the Richland offer also identifies a post-frame shop. Confirm the selected assembly.

Source 1 ↗

The specification page describes post-frame columns, trusses and metal cladding. These are advertised standards, not independently checked engineering.

Source 1 ↗
02 / Design and engineering

Boss Sheds ↗

Advertised

Existing floor plans and customer ideas are accepted. Permit-ready engineering and review revisions are not fully specified.

Source 1 ↗

Plan purchases include layouts and framing information. Engineer stamping and local-review revisions are not established for every purchase.

Source 1 ↗
03 / Site preparation

Physical site preparation such as clearing, grading or excavation. Site selection, assessment and discussion alone do not establish execution responsibility.

04 / Foundation and concrete

Boss Sheds ↗

Advertised

The concrete page offers foundations, footings, slabs and retaining-wall work. Confirm the hybrid-specific proposal and site design.

Source 1 ↗

Reviewed residential and erection descriptions do not allocate foundation design, concrete placement or anchor-bolt interface responsibility.

Source 1 ↗

The post-frame page discusses foundation options, but does not settle who contracts and installs the complete residential foundation.

Source 1 ↗
05 / Shell erection
06 / Insulation and enclosure

Boss Sheds ↗

Advertised

The hybrid page names ZIP sheathing; the accessory material presents insulation/moisture-barrier choices. Exact assembly and inclusion remain project-specific.

Source 1 ↗Source 2 ↗

Quality Structures ↗

Varies / options

FAQ options range from condensation-control material to batt, blown and spray-foam insulation. The selected residential assembly needs specification.

Source 1 ↗

General home standards name ZIP sheathing, attic insulation and insulated garage assemblies; applicability to a new barndominium needs confirmation.

Source 1 ↗
07 / Mechanical trades

The company explicitly describes installation or coordination of at least one named HVAC, electrical or plumbing trade. Name the supported trade and stage in the text. Drawings alone or an optional heating feature with no installation responsibility do not establish this field.

Boss Sheds ↗

Not established

No complete installed plumbing, electrical and HVAC responsibility was established. The structural page’s grounding provision is not a full electrical installation.

Source 1 ↗Source 2 ↗

Classic Buildings ↗

Not established

Local professional referrals name plumbing and electrical, but installation or coordination responsibility is not settled.

Source 1 ↗

Quality Structures ↗

Not established

The barndominium article discusses separate finishing contractors but does not assign QSI a residential mechanical installation contract.

Source 1 ↗
08 / Interior finishes

Boss Sheds ↗

Expressly excluded

The Hybrid Homes page expressly excludes interior finish work and offers trade recommendations instead.

Source 1 ↗

Quality Structures ↗

Not established

The article describes owners generally arranging interior finishing after enclosure; a complete QSI residential finishout offer is not established.

Source 1 ↗
09 / Permit coordination

Responsibility for applying, submitting or obtaining permits. Supplying drawings or offering general guidance alone does not establish that responsibility. A stated owner/independent-GC applicant is an express exclusion from this company's application role. An explicit statement that the company handles permitting qualifies; an unnamed legal applicant is then a contract question.

The GC page explicitly lists permitting and inspections among work the company handles. Applicant identity, fees and revisions still need contract confirmation.

Source 1 ↗

The FAQ offers help obtaining permits and coordinating inspections; it does not identify who submits the applications or holds the permits.

Source 1 ↗
10 / Utility connections

Physical work on permanent service routes or connections, with the supported portion named. Temporary construction power or water alone does not establish permanent utility responsibility.

Boss Sheds ↗

Not established

Grounding is described, but service extensions, metering, water, sewer or onsite-wastewater connections are not allocated.

Source 1 ↗
11 / Completion and handoff

An explicit delivered endpoint or handover appropriate to this company's business role: documents, supplied materials, constructed shell or finished home. A positive status does not imply occupancy-ready delivery. State the actual endpoint. Generic completion language without a defined deliverable or handover remains unresolved.

12 / Warranty terms

An advertised duration and identified covered work or component, with limits retained. A generic assurance or unexplained duration without identifiable coverage does not establish terms; a positive status is not verification of the complete warranty contract.

Boss Sheds ↗

Not established

The current material page describes suppliers but does not establish a project warranty schedule. An older search result is not current written coverage.

Source 1 ↗

Craun Construction ↗

Varies / options

The warranty page selects different documents for Wick-employed versus local-builder crews; full operative terms were not retrieved.

Source 1 ↗

The PDF provides limited structural labor terms, excludes listed components and events, restricts coverage to the original purchaser, and conditions design coverage on purchased stamped plans.

Source 1 ↗

The FAQ advertises warranty availability but defers specific terms to consultation. No duration or coverage schedule was established.

Source 1 ↗

The specification page lists five-year workmanship and three-year concrete warranties, plus component warranties. Full terms were not reviewed.

Source 1 ↗

General home standards advertise one-year workmanship, two-year systems and ten-year structural coverage. Full contract exclusions were not reviewed.

Source 1 ↗
13 / Geographic fit

Boss Sheds ↗

Varies / options

General company territory is wider than the hybrid-home county restriction; use the product-specific requirements and confirm the parcel.

Source 1 ↗Source 2 ↗

The reviewed project-page footer lists an appointment-only Lee’s Summit office. This supports contact relevance, not proof of a completed KC residence.

Source 1 ↗

Use the record as a question for the proposal.

Advertised means a source expressly names a responsibility or deliverable. Expressly excluded requires a clear exclusion; varies requires an identified option or scope difference. Not established means the reviewed sources leave the question unsettled. It does not mean the company cannot do the work. Broad full-home language does not fill individual responsibility fields.

The sample is selected, not a local census. One company may appear in several markets and has one shared record. Geographic evidence may be a local base, named service area, project or broad state claim; the market page preserves that distinction. A company page does not establish independent project verification, a license, insurance, current availability or acceptance of the reader’s parcel.

Sources are company-controlled and may be uneven in detail or accessible only through a cached reader. Review dates are not service-change dates. These disclosure counts do not refresh Google inputs, registry records or any historical KC score. Read the cross-market method and counts, ranking method and full downloadable evidence.
