Steel barndominium shells · Magnolia, TX
From dirt to done.
We design it, engineer the steel shell, and stand it up on your land. You bring your own GC for the inside.
What we do, and where we stop
Dirt to done — in five stops.
01
Dirt
Your land. We start there.
02
Plans
One of ours, or custom.
03
Shell
Engineered steel kit.
04
Erection
We stand it up.
05
Done
Your GC finishes the inside.
We're not a general contractor, and we won't pretend to be. We design it, engineer the shell, deliver it, and stand it up. The interior is your GC's — and keeping that split is what keeps the shell affordable.
