Metal Building Contractors in Severance, CO

Yes. Severance is about 8 miles southwest of our base in Ault, in Weld County, one of the three counties we build in. We build clear-span metal buildings for contractors, businesses and farms there, and the quote is free.

Usually. When one is needed, we pull it from the Severance or Weld County building department, depending on which side of the town limits the property is on with engineered plans and build to whatever the permit and inspections require.

In most cases, yes. A metal building usually needs a building permit and inspections from Larimer, Weld or Adams County or from the city, though some counties exempt qualifying agricultural buildings. In Larimer County's foothills, wildfire hazard rules also apply, and a steel roof and siding suit them. We check what applies to your parcel and pull the permit with engineered plans.

Yes. Our crew pours the foundation, stands the frames, and installs the panels, doors and insulation. There is no handoff between a concrete company, an erector and a door installer, so nothing falls through the gap between trades.

Pick red iron for the widest spans and tallest walls, and post frame for most farm, storage and shop buildings. The skin is the same steel; the frame is what changes. A red-iron building stands on rigid steel frames anchored in concrete, which is what makes the long, column-free spans possible. A post-frame building stands on laminated wood columns and trusses, which take insulation, liner panels and interior finish easily.

Each building is engineered for the design snow and wind loads the county sets for that site. On open plains ground around Greeley, Fort Lupton and Brighton, wind sets the bracing and the door design, while the foothills west of Fort Collins and Loveland call for heavier snow design. Steel panels hold up well to hail and heavier gauges add margin. Footings and slabs are designed for the expansive clay found along the Front Range.
