For anybody that is in construction or that has researched affordable

is more affordable to build- post style (pole barn) or traditional
stick (framed walls)?
Our EAA chapter built a traditional stick hangar and insulated between
the studs but a friend here at work built his hangar post style and
just squished the insulation between the cross pieces and the steel.
Ignore the hangar door (will use a sideways folding door on the gable
end).
Thanks.

Depends on your local code. If you need to build a foundation with
footings below the frostline it's a lot cheaper to build a pole barn.
If you're planning a concrete floor and can build stick frame on a
slab on grade it might be a bit cheaper. Your local lumber salesman
should be happy to figure it out for you .
