Projects
Built for Katy Weather, Soil, and Everyday Living
Katy sits where growth meets wide-open land, with clay-heavy soils, summer heat, and the need for smart drainage. We account for it all at the start: orientation, pad height, compaction, roof design, and water management. That means a barndominium that stays comfortable and looks sharp year after year.
Plan with Purpose
We use simple 3D visuals and measured layouts to dial in hall widths, island lengths, door swings, and window placement before materials are ordered.
Room to Live, Work, and Store
Big spans create a great room that truly functions. Add a shop bay for projects, a gear closet off the mudroom, or an RV bay under the same roof.
Design Options That Fit Katy and the Energy Corridor
From farmhouse to clean contemporary steel, we’ll help you choose a style that fits your land and neighborhood while keeping maintenance low.
Exterior Looks
- Light siding with dark trim and standing-seam roof
- Stone or brick wainscoting and timber posts for a ranch feel
- Sleek profiles with larger glass for a modern take
Outdoor Rooms That Work
Deep porches, screened areas, and outdoor kitchens extend living space for most of the year. We size overhangs and lighting so evenings are comfortable and useful.
Interiors That Handle Real Life
Inside, durability and comfort lead: floors that clean easily, kitchens that cook for a crowd, and storage where you actually need it.
Kitchens Made for Hosting
Island seating, walk-in pantries, ventilation that really works, and landing zones at the fridge and wall ovens.
Baths with Storage
Walk-in showers, double vanities, and linen cabinets plus easy-to-clean tile and glass.
Quiet Bedrooms & Offices
Sound-dampened walls and solid-core doors make work calls and sleep easier, even when the great room is busy.
End-to-End Build Services
One accountable team manages the process: design, engineering, schedules, site work, shell, rough-ins, insulation, drywall, and finish-out. You won’t be juggling ten contractors.
Turnkey Barndominiums Katy
From concept to keys, our turnkey path sets expectations and milestones. You get a predictable sequence and a home that’s move-in ready.
Coordinated Trades
Concrete, steel, and finish crews follow a clean schedule. We protect completed work as the project advances to reduce punch lists and rework.
Kit Packages for DIY or Local GCs
If you want to self-perform or use a local general contractor, we can supply engineered kits—frame package, panels, trims, hardware, and plan sets—plus optional slab and erection assistance.
What Comes in the Kit
- Engineered steel members with connection details
- Roof and wall panels with trims and accessories
- Hardware, fasteners, sealants, and shop drawings
Optional Add-Ons
Concrete, equipment scheduling, set crews, and delivery coordination when your timeline needs a boost.
Site Work & Foundations Done Right
Durability starts at the pad. We handle clearing, select fill, moisture conditioning, and compaction checks. Drainage plans keep water moving off the roof and away from the slab—critical for Katy’s clay soils and heavy rains.
Driveway & Approach
Designed for delivery trucks and trailers with correct base depth and slope to minimize rutting and washouts.
Utilities, Septic & Conduit
We help map water, power, and septic locations, and we plan data/low-voltage runs for cameras, networking, and EV charging so you don’t trench twice.
Energy Efficiency & Low Maintenance
Efficient envelopes and simple upkeep protect your budget. We pair spray foam or hybrid insulation with Low-E windows and right-sized HVAC so cooling loads stay in check.
Comfort in a Storm
Proper insulation, roof assembly, and ceiling treatments make finished metal homes quiet during rain and stable through heat waves.
Materials That Last
We specify panel finishes, flashing, and fasteners that handle Texas UV and coastal humidity cycles.

Answers to Common Questions
How customizable are layouts?
Completely. Steel frames allow big spans and flexible room placement. We tune the plan for daily routines, storage, and future expansion.
What’s a realistic schedule?
Scope and weather drive timing, but many projects run four to eight months from permits to keys, with kit-only work finishing faster.
Are metal roofs loud?
With proper insulation and ceilings, interior sound is similar to conventional homes—most owners describe a soft, muted rain sound.
Do you build shell-only?
Yes. We can deliver slab and steel shell with handoff for interior completion, or we can finish turnkey.
Care & Maintenance
Metal exteriors are straightforward: rinse panels annually, keep gutters clear, and check caulks at penetrations. Interior finishes are chosen for durability so touch-ups are simple and infrequent.
