Metal building cost in Texas
What a metal building actually costs in Texas in 2026, by size and by scope, with the site costs nobody puts in the brochure number.
Commercial and residential
Metal buildings in DFW and East Texas
Commercial, industrial and large residential metal buildings. Slab to final finish. One contractor from the first number to the punch list.
What we build
Commercial & industrial
Warehouses, retail strip centers, multi-tenant buildings, industrial shops, flex space and agricultural facilities.
Shell $27 - $68 per SF. Turnkey $60 - $165 per SF.
Barndominiums
Shop-houses, garage bays, high ceilings, covered porches. Steel-framed homes built to the same standard as our commercial work.
Finished $118 - $225 per SF depending on finish level.
Specialty structures
Churches, distilleries, event venues, greenhouses, resort cabanas and covered pavilions.
Priced individually. Occupancy changes everything.
Why steel
Two to four weeks of erection
A frame that would take months in wood goes up in weeks. The schedule risk moves to the finish, where we control it.
Clear span to 150 feet
No interior columns. You get the floor plan the business needs instead of the one the structure allows.
Outlasts wood by decades
Steel does not rot, does not warp, and does not feed termites. Insurance companies know it and price it that way.
Is this a fit
We're probably not your builder if
- You need a repair or a service call.
- You're looking at a shed, a carport, or a kit.
- You want the steel dropped and nothing else.
We're a fit if
- You're building 1,500 SF or more of finished commercial or industrial space.
- You're building a 2,000 SF or larger home on your land.
- You want one contractor from slab to final finish.

How a job runs
Step 1
Call
Ten minutes on the phone tells us both whether this is worth a drive.
Step 2
Site visit
We walk the dirt. Soil, access, utilities, drainage, setbacks.
Step 3
Written scope, lump sum
One number against a scope you can read. Not cost-plus, not an allowance pile.
Step 4
Build and close out
Same contractor start to finish. Punch list gets finished, not abandoned.
Before you call anyone
We published the answers we get asked for
Cost, permits, financing, what a slab runs, what clear span buys you. Every price in them comes from the same table we quote from.
No gate, no email address, no call required to read them. If the numbers do not work for your budget, you have saved a phone call.

What a slab actually costs
Foundation cost per square foot in Texas by loading, why Blackland clay changes the design, and why leaving the slab out of a quote makes it look cheap.
Where we build
The I-30 corridor, Fort Worth to the Louisiana line
Dallas-Fort Worth and East Texas. Distance is not what decides whether we take a job. Size is.
