What people build around Lexington
Lexington sits midway between Memphis and Nashville, with farm ground, timber and lake country around it.
Farm buildings
Hay barns, equipment storage and cattle buildings serve the farm ground across the county.
Acreage shops
Tubular is hard to beat on an unfinished shop up to sixty feet wide.
Boat & RV storage
Storage near Beech Lake and Natchez Trace needs tall doors and clear height.
Finished space
Steel truss takes drywall directly, so there’s no wood wall to build inside the steel.
We also work in cold-formed steel and red iron. See what a steel building costs.

Engineering

- Our generic engineering packages are wet-sealed, and occupied buildings are Risk Category II.
Newer code, same building. Lexington adopted the 2024 codes ahead of the state. The edition sets the wind, snow and seismic criteria a building is engineered to, so we design to the city’s code inside the limits and confirm what applies on county ground outside them.
We also serve Parkers Crossroads, Sardis, Scotts Hill, Wildersville and the farm ground between them. See the Jackson area or all of Tennessee.
