  • 3. What are the differences between a weld-up and bolt-up steel building?

    Weld-Up steel buildings are welded and fabricated at the job site. The steel is ordered locally, and each piece is measured, cut, and welded by one of MWS's crew members. The team then assembles and welds the pieces to create a custom steel building at your desired location. 


    Bolt-up steel or pre-engineered building plans are drafted by professional building designers and engineers who adhere to local building codes, permitting, and load requirements. Skilled fabricators and welders manufacture every building piece to exact engineering drawings and specifications. Each material, column, purlin, rafter, and girt is precisely cut, welded, punched, and labeled in a highly quality-controlled fabrication facility. The material is delivered to your designated location, and our team assembles the metal buildings.

  • 7. Can I customize my building?

    Absolutely. Every building is designed to meet your needs. You can choose your layout, roof style, color, and even add features like lean-tos, porches, or stall fronts. 

  • 8. Why do you use steel and galvanized buildings and components?

    Formerly, most barns were constructed using wood because it was the most affordable option. However, through construction and technological advancements, steel and galvanized barns and buildings have gained popularity not only because they have become more economical but also because of their durability and longevity. 


    Consequently, these metal buildings and barns can be erected in less time and at a fraction of the cost of traditional wood barns. Furthermore, steel and galvanized-constructed barns and buildings provide a safer and more secure environment for your horses, livestock, hay/feed, and farm equipment. This makes it the optimal choice for horse lovers and farmers alike. 

  • 9. Do you build barndominiums?

    Yes, we build fully customized barndominiums. Whether you want a simple shell or a full turnkey home, we can help.

  • 10. How long does it take to build a metal building?

    Timelines vary depending on size, complexity, and weather, but most standard buildings are completed in a few weeks once materials are delivered.

  • 11. Do you pour concrete slabs?

    Yes, we provide concrete foundations and slabs for all types of buildings.

  • 12. Can I supply my own materials (like stall fronts)?

    Yes. While we can provide and install stall fronts, you’re welcome to purchase your own, and we’ll install them for you. 

  • 13. What areas do you serve?

    We primarily serve Bellville, Montgomery, Brenham, Magnolia, Navasota, and Anderson, Texas, along with the surrounding areas.

  • 14. Do your buildings come with a warranty?

    Our buildings don’t come with a formal workmanship warranty, but we do stand behind what we build. If you experience a leak within a reasonable time after your building is completed, we’ll come out to repair it. We also try to handle minor goodwill repairs when appropriate. In addition, all materials are covered under the manufacturer’s warranty, which you can review here: Manufacturer Warranty Information
