Metal Shop Construction
Your work deserves its own space.
Custom metal shops built for equipment, fabrication, hobbies, business operations and serious weekend projects.

Before you request a quote.
What should I bring for a shop estimate?+
Bring the site address, equipment list, approximate footprint, door openings and a sketch of work and storage zones. Include any lift or specialty equipment information.
How do I choose overhead-door sizes?+
Use the largest vehicle or equipment, including attachments, as the starting point. Review both the clear opening and the approach with the team before finalizing dimensions.
Can the shop package include the slab, electrical and insulation?+
Those scopes can be included when agreed for the project. Equipment use and the engineered design guide foundation coordination; the written proposal defines the included work.
Can I plan for an office or future expansion?+
Yes. Identify those goals early so access, interior zones and future connections can be reviewed with the proposed building. Feasibility depends on the site and design.
