Residential Metal Building Erecting

If you are building a barndominium, shop house, or metal home, the structure has to go up straight, square, and ready for the next set of tradesmen. We specialize in residential metal building erecting with a focus on red iron steel framing and a clean path to a weather-tight shell.

Based in Central Texas, we serve homeowners and contractors across San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country, and our crews can travel for the right project.

Residential Structures We Erect

We focus on metal buildings used as homes and home-adjacent structures, including:

• Barndominiums and shop houses
• Metal homes with open-concept layouts
• Detached garages and large garage additions
• Workshops and hobby shops
• Storage buildings designed to match a residential property

We are a welding team with professional siding and roofing crews to help us complete your build. As a partner to one of the largest home kit companies in the USA, My Barndo Plans, we are certified to erect all of their home kits. Now you can have the speed and reliability of an engineered kit, with confidence of certified erecting team.

What “Metal Building Erecting” Includes

Every project is different, but metal building erecting typically covers the structural work required to assemble the steel building system. Depending on your scope, this may include:

• Setting columns and main frames (red iron)
• Squaring, plumbing, and bracing the structure
• Installing secondary framing (girts and purlins)
• Setting trim components required for the shell
• Coordination for a smooth handoff to exterior finishes

If you want a faster path to a weather-tight shell, ask about combining erection with dry-in work such as roofing, siding, windows, and exterior doors.

Why Homeowners Choose Red Iron for Residential Metal Buildings

When homeowners say they want a “metal building home,” what they usually mean is a structure that feels permanent, open, and built to handle real weather. Red iron is a strong option because it supports:

• Clear spans for wide-open living spaces and shop bays
• Large openings for overhead doors and tall wall heights
• Long-term durability when engineered and erected correctly
• Predictable framing that keeps the build moving

Residential Erection Done Right Starts Before We Show Up

The #1 reason metal building projects get delayed is simple: the site or slab is not ready for steel. We help you avoid that by confirming the basics up front.

• Foundation accuracy: anchor bolts and slab dimensions must match the steel package
• Site access: delivery trucks and equipment need room to work
• Steel package review: confirm you have what is needed before erection day
• Scheduling: sequence erection so the next trades are not stuck waiting

Our Process

1. Quick discovery: location, building size, timeline, and scope (erect only vs erect + dry-in)
2. Plan and package review: confirm slab/anchor bolt alignment and steel package readiness
3. Schedule: coordinate delivery, equipment, and crew timing
4. Erect: set frames, square and plumb, install secondary framing
5. Handoff: prep for roofing/siding or complete dry-in if included

Service Area

We are based in Central Texas and regularly work in San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country (Boerne, New Braunfels, Bulverde, Spring Branch, Kerrville, Bandera, and surrounding areas). Our crews can travel for the right project.
