Metal buildings

The biggest selling point for many of our clients is cost. Metal buildings tend to be 20-30% cheaper than a wood building. With material prices on the rise, the cost differential between a wood versus steel building is growing.

Durability is another major advantage of metal buildings. With sheet metal panels having a 20 year paint warranty and steel beams lasting for decades, your building will be standing for generations to come

Low upkeep is always a plus. There is zero recoating or repainting of the exterior of the building like there is for traditional wood siding.

Aesthetics – The professional and permanent look of a custom designed metal building is bar-none to any other type of residential shop or building.

Our metal buildings tend to be around $30-$40/sqft for a single story metal building. This includes design, concrete, fabrication and construction of your metal building. Add ons including insulation, overhangs, wainscots, garage doors, and window sizes/quantities can make the exact price for your specific build vary. Feel free to reach out for an exact quote for your building!

Already have the concrete poured? Great, the price for just the building typically runs around $20-30/ft² if the concrete is already set in place. Just coordinate with us prior to the concrete pour, so we can provide insight into how the concrete pad will interact with the metal framework.

Besides being your #1 local metal building fabrication company in the Bryan/college station area, ARRK has taken a different approach to designing and constructing custom metal buildings!

We stand apart in our ability to design your entire building in our state-of-the-art 3D modeling software, alleviating many errors in the construction process, and allowing for design changes before breaking ground.

We have also chosen to make our buildings bolt-up, saving time in the field, creating a stronger building frame, and achieving better alignment for your building.

This depends upon project size, but most projects take about a month to a month and a half to complete. This includes 2 weeks for concrete, a week for design, and 3-4 weeks for construction.

Our team works as efficiently as possible while still upholding a zero-tolerance policy for craftsmanship errors.

When it comes to the actual metal building, ARRK employees are 100% the only workers that will touch any beam or sheet metal used in the construction of the building. All employees up to this point have been individually trained by ARRK’s co-owner and fabrication manager. The only subcontractors ARRK utilizes are for the concrete pad, plumbing, and electrical if needed.

However, we always have an ARRK representative onsite during these processes to ensure proper completion and integration with the metal building structure.

Yes, just know that within city limits, a construction permit is required, and potentially a professional engineer’s stamp for our design, which both add additional costs to the project.

ARRK provides a 2 year workmanship guarantee; meaning if anything happens to your metal building in the first 2 years post-construction, we will send a crew out to fix the problem.

Note: this guarantee does not cover building damage due to equipment, vehicles, or severe weather damaging the building. It only covers damage from error in craftsmanship.

Additionally, most of our sheet suppliers provide a 20 year paint warranty on the sheeting. Confirmation of this warranty is required however.

No distance is too far for ARRK… well maybe let’s talk about that.

In all seriousness, our team is able to travel quite a distance to complete your project; with our limits usually being about a 4 hour drive from the Bryan/College Station area.

Any distance past an hour and a half and our team will stay in the area for periods of 4 days at a time to complete the project. If within the 1.5hr radius, we are able to drive to the jobsite each day to complete the work.

At ARRK, we love additions and custom modifications to metal buildings just as much as brand new buildings. Reach out to us to schedule an onsite visit and so we can take a look at your next project!

No problem, steel awnings and canopies are how we got into the metal building business anyway. These can be as custom as desired, with brick pillars or an entire slick painted cover. Whatever you have in mind, we know how to make it a reality!

ARRK is more than capable, and has constructed several steel shells (the steel structure and sheet metal walls) for barndominiums in the Brazos valley and surrounding areas.

Often clients desire to be more “hands on” with their builds, subcontracting out many parts of the construction themselves. When this is the case, ARRK is the #1 contractor in the Brazos Valley for designing, fabricating, and constructing the shell of your barndominium.

ARRK Is in the process of expanding our capabilities to be able to handle turnkey Barndominiums from initial designs to a complete move-in ready home. Feel free to reach out to see where we are in the process!
