Q – Replacing the show barns at WestWorld of Scottsdale was a huge undertaking. How did the erection schedule work out around event schedules?
A – “We completed the erection of each barn In 10 working days which was highly expedited and it allowed multiple barns to be erected during the off months of summer and over the Christmas holidays.”
Q – The Mayor of Scottsdale, David Ortega met with you, Larry Gimple Assistant GM of WestWorld & Cheryl Spangler the Sales Manager of FCP Barns at the Scottsdale Arabian Show 2024. You had been part of the erection of the WestWorld barns on the South side of the arenas several years ago. Can you tell us about that conversation?
A – “I shared with Mayor Ortega that I had a long-time working relationship with the City ut Scottsdale and WestWorld and that I had previously completed the Mounted Police Barn in 2005, the 264 stalls of Barns O-T in 2009, and 200 event stalls in 2012. The Mayor replied and said that relationships is all that you get to take with you when leaving this earth and that the City of Scottsdale and its citizens certainly appreciate our long-lasting relationship with Coffman Barns.
Q – How long do you think those barns will last at WestWorld?
A – “Typically, these FCP Metal barns will last 50-100 years when properly maintained.”
Q – How many stalls have you or do you intend to replace for Scottsdale?
A – “We have replaced 288 stalls (6 Barns) so far of the 480 total stalls (10 Barns) expected to be replaced under the current renovation project.”
Q – The City of Scottsdale is investing in the new barns and several other improvements. What is the responsibility to be a part of this important project?
A – “After working with the City of Scottsdale on this proposed project since 2015, both Coffman Barns and FCP Inc were thrilled to be selected as the supplier and installer for this project. We had the responsibility to work closely with Project Team- City Engineer, Caruso Construction Inc., and the Engineer or record to design a barn that was safe, on budget, and met the existing foundation conditions and participated with the project team on many Zoom meetings and onsite inspections. Each Team member and their unique set of skills contributed to the success of the project and ultimately completing the project on schedule and on budget.”
Q – Working with Scottsdale & FCP there was a demand to have this project finished before the BIG shows and events started in 2024. How much pressure was on the Coffman Barn crew in this age of high demand for concrete, steel, and other supplies needed to finish the project?
A – The schedule was extremely accelerated and our teams of up to 14 Installers worked day and night to meet the demands of the short window of time from demo to completion. Even though there were numerous supply challenges, FCP Inc. supplied us with a 48-stall barn every two weeks. Our Demo trade partners removed each existing barn in 3 days with a crew of up to 11. All Barns were completed on time and with no punch list items reported!”
Q – You were recognized as the #1 dealer for FCP in 2023. How does that make you feel?

FCP Features & Benefits – New WestWorld Barns
Fire Safety
Steel is naturally resistant to fire making steel structures safer than traditional wood or other combustible materials. The steel-lined wall panels and dividers in our barns prevent fire spread making them darn near fireproof. Something every horse owner can appreciate.
Kick-Proof & Chew-Proof
Steel-lined wall panels provide the confidence and safety features that your horses will not be able to kick thru the stall walls which can cause injury, or digest harmful bacteria harboring wood and splinters.
Low Maintenance, Safe Environment
Non-bacteria-harboring wall panels are low maintenance and are easily sanitized to prevent disease. No sharp edges or rusty nails – means no cuts, pulled manes, or tails.
