Who This Guide Is For
Property owners building in Central Texas (Austin–Temple–Waco corridor)
Planning a metal barn, shop, barndominium, or small commercial building
Early in the planning phase or correcting a stalled project
Interested in doing it once — and doing it right
Why Metal Building Projects Get Stuck
Most delays don’t happen because counties are difficult.
They happen because steps are done out of order.
Steel is ordered before permit requirements are known
Concrete is poured before engineering is finalized
Slab plans don’t match steel drawings
Wind or load ratings are incorrect
Barndominiums are treated like barns
These issues are preventable when the process is followed correctly — from the start.
Our Approach
We don’t start with price.
We start with understanding the process.
Understand permit expectations
Coordinate steel and concrete correctly
Avoid costly redesigns and delays
Plan for future use
Keep projects moving in the right sequence
Most people don’t start metal building projects because they’re experts — they start because they have a need.
We’re here to guide the process clearly and calmly.
