Metal Building Kits

The whole building, pre-cut to bolt together — no field welding.

A metal building kit is a pre-engineered building shipped as a package: every beam, panel, purlin, and piece of trim cut, drilled, punched, painted, and labeled to bolt together from a set of stamped drawings. Nothing is welded in the field. You skip the erection labor — a real slice of a turnkey price — and you control the schedule, which is exactly why kits suit contractors, remote sites, and hands-on owners.

Be clear-eyed about scale, though. A small kit bolts together in a few days and moves around with a forklift. A big red-iron rigid-frame building — the kind that clears a wide column-free span — is heavy steel that needs a professional crew and a crane to raise the primary frame safely. We'll tell you honestly which side of that line your building falls on, and we're glad to just erect it if that's the smarter call.

The one question that matters

Small kit or big red-iron? That decides everything.

Metal building kits split cleanly into two worlds, and knowing which one you're in tells you almost everything about the build. A light, tube-frame kit — a shop, a shed, a garage-scale building — bolts up with a few people and a forklift, and a handy owner can absolutely do it. That's the DIY-friendly end.

The other end is red iron: a heavy rigid-frame building engineered to clear a wide, column-free span. The primary frame on one of those is not a weekend job — it wants a crane, a rated crew, and rigging experience, because raising heavy steel is where the real risk lives. There's no shame in either answer; the mistake is buying a red-iron kit expecting to raise it like a shed. We'll tell you plainly which one your building is before you order.

  • Light tube-frame kits — genuinely DIY-able
  • Red-iron rigid frames — crane and pro crew territory
  • Same engineered building whichever way it's raised
  • We flag which side of the line your size falls on
What ships

Everything structural, PE-stamped, bolt-together.

A building kit is the complete engineered structure, cut and punched to bolt together with no field welding. The steel and the paperwork ship; the site, the finish, and the doors are yours to arrange.

In every price
  • All primary framing — I-beam or tube, cut, drilled, and punched
  • Roof and wall panels plus a full trim package
  • Purlins, girts, bracing, bolts, flashing, and sealants
  • Framed openings per your plan (doors spec'd separately)
  • Foundation anchor-bolt layout
  • PE-stamped drawings for permitting
Budget separately
  • Engineered concrete foundation and site grading
  • The raise itself — crane and crew for red-iron frames
  • Permit and engineering-review fees
  • Insulation, gutters, and any interior finish
  • Roll-ups, walk doors, and windows (added to the order)

The PE-stamped drawings are the part that matters most for a big building — they're what your permit office and your erector both work from. Nothing is field-welded; it all bolts to the plan.

Kit-ready buildings

Buildings you can order as a kit.

Every model below can ship as a bolt-together kit or be erected by our crew — the same engineered building, your call on the labor. Customize any span, eave, doors, and options.

The raise, stage by stage

Four stages — and the one you may hand off.

A kit assembles in a fixed order. On a big building, stage two is the one people hire out; the rest a capable crew can carry.

01

Slab, poured to the plan

An engineered foundation is poured to the anchor-bolt layout and left to cure — roughly a month on a large pour — before any steel is set. Every column lands on a bolt pattern that has to be exact.

02

The primary frame

Columns and rafters go up first. On a light frame that's a forklift and a few people; on red iron it's a crane and a rigging crew, and this is the stage to hire out if you're not equipped for heavy steel.

03

Secondary steel & skin

Purlins, girts, and bracing tie the frame together, then the panels go on. Once the frame stands safely, the skin is steady, methodical work a good crew can knock out fast.

04

Close it in

Set the doors and windows you spec'd, run the trim and flashing, and torque the anchors. At that point the building is weather-tight and ready for inspection.

Before you order

A building kit rewards a crew — not a lone weekend warrior.

The bigger the span, the more the kit is a way to buy steel efficiently, not a way to skip a crew.

01
Right for contractors

If you build for clients or have equipment and hands on site, a kit is the cost-controlled way to buy the structure and keep your crew busy.

02
Right for remote jobs

When sending our crew across the country is costly, a kit ships anywhere and a local erector raises it — often the smartest math on a distant site.

03
Think twice if you're solo

No crew, no lift, and a wide clear-span building? The labor 'saving' becomes real risk. Let us erect it, or we'll refer a local erection crew.

We are building a barndominium and they delivered the shell on schedule. Our contractor said the framing was straighter than most stick-built shells he sees.

Loafing shed for the horses showed up exactly when they said it would. The crew leveled and anchored on uneven ground and didn't try to charge extra.

Hurricane-rated anchors and engineer-stamped drawings were ready when our county asked. Permit went through the first time.
