Metal buildings are a cost-effective and durable way to quickly put up a new structure. Today, metal buildings are the go-to for warehousing, commercial buildings, and increasingly, even houses.
That makes sense when you consider they cost as little as $4 per square foot for the building, often need the simplest possible foundation, and require minimal long-term maintenance costs.
In addition, a simple metal building can be installed the same day it arrives, meaning no long and costly build times. Instead, you get a durable building that’s built to last, sometimes in just a few weeks.
Of course, build timelines and costs will heavily depend on what kind of metal building you want. A simple carport will cost much less than a custom engineered steel barndominium.
However, whatever you go with, it all starts with a builder. The state of Indiana is home to dozens of metal building companies, but the following include 18 of the best.

Sunward stands out with a few offerings including 100+ preconfigured kits, two-story models available, plenty of accessories, solar panel kits, and much more.
You also get a building that’s delivered ready to assemble on a concrete slab foundation.
Sunward does provide erection as part of its services. However, it can provide project management for an additional 25%, although this won’t include labor or materials for the foundation or building erection.
Otherwise, this is a great choice if you’re looking for a versatile and customizable building kit, want American-made steel, and options for barndominiums.

Steel Ridge uses Nucor Building systems for its metal buildings.
Steel Ridge specializes in agricultural, residential, and small-to-mid-size commercial buildings. This means you can get a barn, warehouse, storage area, garage, insulated workshop, barndominium, airplane hangar, and many other types of buildings.

AllSteel also offers a mix of services and solutions. For example, it can handle insulation, cold-formed steel, wood pole barns, and red iron building kits.
However, Allsteel does not offer building erection. This means that if you buy a building kit or supplies from the company, you’ll need your own erection crew to actually assemble it for you.

Daviess also offers a range of building kit options. However, it does use building systems, so you will have to construct inside of those limitations. On the other hand, that reduces costs over a fully custom build.
