What people build in Williams
Heavy snow and long winters mean the building has to carry real weight on the roof.
Shops & garages
Unfinished and under sixty feet wide, tubular steel is usually the answer, sized for the snow here.
Equipment storage
Plows, trucks and trailers need a wide door. Every two feet of eave above twelve adds roughly five percent to the frame.
Barns & hay
Barns and hay storage go up on ranch ground. Red iron takes over past eighty feet.
Barndominiums
Steel truss is the fit. Drywall attaches to the frame, so there’s no second wall to build.

Permitting metal buildings in Williams
The city’s criteria
- Williams has adopted the 2024 building codes.
- Its posted design criteria set 50 psf ground snow, with a roof snow load of at least 40 psf.
- Footings go 30 inches below grade, and ice barrier underlayment is required.
Who draws the plans
- An Arizona registered design professional has to prepare them when the building is over 3,000 sq ft.
- The same applies when any structural member is longer than 24 feet.
Applying
- Two sets of construction documents: site plan, foundation, structural, floor and roof plans, elevations and sections.
- A construction-site management plan is due before the permit is issued.
In Williams, a metal building almost always needs a registered design professional. Any structural member longer than 24 feet triggers the requirement, and the rafters on most shops run longer than that. We line up the engineered, sealed drawings the city needs before you apply.
We also serve Parks, Ash Fork and Valle. See Flagstaff & northern Arizona or all of Arizona.
