ABOUT NFBA ABOUT NFBA Leadership Staff History Post-Frame Advantage PFA PROGRAM Formerly known as the Post-Frame Market Initiative (PFMI), Post Frame Advantage (PFA) is a program created to expand the use of post-frame construction in non-agricultural segments. PFA focuses on educating architects, builders, designers, code officials, and end consumers about the benefits of post-frame construction. NFBA’s Post-Frame Advantage Program is an integral part in what the Association does to improve the Industry. Each year, PFA makes sizable contributions to projects that accomplish the following: Educating Building Owners and Designers about the option of post-frame construction Making the message heard that Post-frame brings value and innovative solutions Educating Builders and Industry Associates about improved methods for post-frame structures Boosting Employers’ ability to recruit and retain skilled Employees Tackling issues that even larger companies alone would not be able to take on All of these initiatives benefit the industry as a whole, but collectively, PFA works to generate more LEADS for YOUR BUSINESS. It is our goal that all post-frame-related businesses will see more projects in the residential and commercial/non-ag market as a result of our work. It is our mission to generate increased awareness of post-frame as a high quality and sustainable building choice.
