Metal buildings in Smithville, MO.

We supply boat and trailer storage, equipment buildings, workshops and more in the lake country north of the metro. Our work reaches from Smithville out across the acreage around the lake, and anywhere else you’re building. A lot of what goes up here has to hold a boat, a tractor and a workshop, usually all at once.

What people build in Smithville

Smithville Lake changes what people need out of a building. Height and a wide door are cheap to plan at the start and expensive to fix later.

Boat & trailer storage

Boat storage wants height and a wide door. Settle both before the footprint.

Tractor & equipment

Equipment storage goes up on the acreage around the lake.

Workshops

Workshops are often combined with the storage under one roof.

Eave height

It’s the input people underestimate most. Sometimes the headroom is worth every penny. Sometimes nobody uses it. We’ll tell you which we think it is.

Engineering and permitting

Generics accepted

Smithville accepts standard generic engineering, which keeps tubular viable and the cost down.

Unlike Cass County

On the far south side, every tubular project needs site-specific engineering at roughly $2.00/sq ft. That’s part of why a tubular shop prices better here than in Belton.

Occupied buildings

They’re still Risk Category II. Ag and utility buildings are covered by the generic package.

We run the ASCE 7 hazard tool against your address and provide the documentation your permit application needs.

We also serve Kearney, Plattsburg, Trimble and the rest of the Kansas City metro. See all of Missouri.
