If you’re putting up a new building then metal buildings are one of the most popular new build options in Maryland.
In fact, with dozens of companies available to provide everything from simple carports to highly custom large-scale steel structures, you’ll have options for nearly any kind of building you might want or need.
Metal structures offer convenience, fast build times, and durability. Many construct in as little as a few weeks.
In addition, you can reduce costs to build to $4-$40 per square foot of building shell. Of course, you’ll pay more for the foundation and for an interior finishing.
However, the basic cost of a metal building means these structures are extremely cost-effective. In addition, with construction times that are sometimes as little as a few weeks from the point of placing an order, metal buildings are fast.
There are dozens of metal building companies in Maryland, and the following includes 17 of the best.
