Yes! Nowadays, many people choose to live in metal buildings, commonly referred to as barndominiums. Metal buildings are fully customizable and you can finish it just like a traditional home.
Here at WolfSteel, both our tubular and red iron metal buildings can be built to meet your needs. We require buildings for residential use to be engineered.
There is limited space on how many residential projects we take on. Reach out!
Pricing and Financing
We do not price our buildings out of standard way which is $/sqft because additional services and custom accessories are added into our cost. The cost of a metal building can vary depending on the following factors:
- Size and layout
- Location and land condition
- Specific building needs and features
To get a better idea of pricing, check out some of our past projects with pricing included. They’ll give a helpful starting point as you plan your own build.
For a customized quote, contact us with your project details.
Yes, we provide different financing options through our trusted partners: Frost Bank, HFS, and Upgrade.
Absolutely. If you’d rather secure financing through your own bank or lender, that works just fine too!
Permits and Compliance
It depends on your location. It’s best to check if permits are required in your area before constructing your metal building.
Not all of the buildings are required to be engineered. This will depend on your building use and permitting requirements in your location.
If you are building a residential space like a barndominium, commercial or public use structure, we require it to be engineered. This is because these building types follow stricter building codes for safety and long-term performance.
Read our blog on risk categories for red iron and tubular metal buildings to see if engineering applies to your project.
Yes, our metal buildings are designed to meet the wind loads specific to your area.
Our tubular metal buildings are wind certified up to 120mph and can be customized to meet your wind load requirement.
If you’re located in a high-wind area such as near the Texas coast line or tornado alley here in Texas, we offer a severe wind package with additional structural reinforcements for added protection and code compliance.
What is a severe wind package?
A severe wind package is an upgraded line item included in your quote if your building site is in an area prone to high winds, such as near the Texas coastline.
This upgrade ensures your metal building meets local wind load requirements, typically in areas where wind speeds range from 135 mph to 165 mph. It is automatically added to both red iron and tubular building quotes for code compliance and safety.
The severe wind package adds additional framing and screws to your building for protection against the wind lateral pressures.
You may check the ASCE Hazard Tool to know the wind load requirement in your area.
Or contact us and we’ll guide you based on your location.
WolfSteel Warranty
Yes, all of our buildings come with warranties which cover not only the building itself but also the concrete, custom accessories and spray foam insulation.
Check out WolfSteel Warranty for our products and services.
Warranty terms may change and are based on the version active when you sign your building contract. For the latest details, please contact a WolfSteel representative.

Process and Timeline
Here at WolfSteel Buildings, we take care of the materials, delivery, and installation of your building as we want it to be a seamless process for you.
There are two timelines that you’ll see on contract. The project timeline and the installation timeline.
Project timeline covers the overall time starting from permit, site preparation, ordering of materials, pouring of concrete to construction until completion of the project.
Installation timeline covers the time allotted in constructing the building itself.
Keep in mind that timelines can vary depending on the size of your building, site conditions, and the complexity of your project.
