Acreage shops
Tubular is hard to beat on an unfinished shop up to sixty feet wide.
Farm buildings
Hay barns and equipment storage serve the farms in the north of the county. Past eighty feet, red iron takes over.
Finished space
Steel truss takes drywall directly, so there’s no wood wall to build inside the steel.

Permitting metal buildings in Gallatin and Sumner County
Which office covers your project depends on which side of the city line the lot sits.
Inside Gallatin
- The city’s own building codes and zoning apply inside city limits.
- We confirm the permit requirements and setbacks for your lot with the city before drawings.
Unincorporated Sumner County
- A building permit comes from the Sumner County Building Commissioner.
- It’s issued once the application is found to comply with the Sumner County Zoning Resolution.
- A copy of each permit goes to the county tax assessor.
Farm & engineering
- Non-residential farm buildings are exempt from Tennessee’s state minimum standards.
- Our generic engineering packages are wet-sealed, and occupied buildings are Risk Category II.
Zoning comes before the permit. In Sumner County, the Building Commissioner checks your application against the zoning resolution before issuing anything, so the use and placement have to work first. We check your parcel’s zoning before we settle the size and where it sits.
We also serve Hendersonville, Portland, Westmoreland, Castalian Springs, Bethpage and the farm ground between them. See the Nashville metro or all of Tennessee.
