Metal buildings, whether prefabricated building kits or custom-engineered steel structures, are an ideal building option in Michigan.
In fact, with low maintenance requirements, the ability to scale up to any snow load requirements you want, and very good durability around wind, metal buildings are one of the best options for new buildings in the state.
That’s true whether you’re looking for a basic metal building for storage or warehousing or something more customized for a business or even a barndominium-style home.
Most importantly, there are dozens of metal building companies across Michigan. Many of them specialize in specific types of metal buildings, others do something of everything.
However, no matter what it is you’re looking for, there is a local metal building company that will deliver exactly the building you need.

1. Sunward Steel
Sunward Steel is one of the largest metal building manufacturers in the United States.
It’s also one of the only large companies to entirely source its steel from the United States. That means you get American-made steel and American-manufactured building kits.
Sunward specializes in both metal building kits and custom-engineered metal buildings, so you can either buy something off the rack or custom design your own building.
Sunward Steel is also one of the only large steel building manufacturers in Michigan to offer building erection. This means you can custom order your kit, have it shipped to you, and then have Sunward erect it on your slab foundation.
Sunward can also provide a project manager to oversee the foundation and site prep – although you will pay 25% extra for the project.
Otherwise, Sunward also has a lot to offer in terms of customization and building offerings, including insulation, interior wall kits, and multi-story buildings.

2. T&C Metal Structures
T&C Metal Structures is a custom steel building company offering everything from carports to garages, barns, and commercial buildings across Michigan.
The company is locally based and will custom-design your building to meet your needs. It will then prefabricate that building and ship it to your lot, ready for erection.
T&C also uses pole barn construction, which means you won’t need a foundation or a concrete slab. Instead, you can erect your metal building on piers, so you can have a dirt floor if you prefer.
That makes this builder ideal if you’re looking for a simple and cost-effective agricultural building or barn. However, you can also have someone else come in to pour a concrete floor if you prefer.
T&C also offers building erection. This means they will work with you to design the building, prefabricate it, and then erect it on your lot, ready for you to convert into whatever you want.
However, T&C is a reseller, meaning that it uses metal building systems from other companies rather than doing its own manufacturing.

The builder can also work with you to custom design your shed or other structure so you get exactly what you want from the building, including diverse roof styles, trim, and other offerings.
Mid Valley Structures serves Central, Northern, and Western Michigan. However, you’ll have to check the service area to ensure you fall inside it.
Mid Valley will also help you with lot preparation and will then assemble your building on-site to ensure everything goes well. Afterwards, you can take over with your own general contractor to finish converting the structure into whatever you want it to be.

In addition, all of its buildings are custom designed, prefabricated, and erected on-site for you. This includes concrete work and foundation prep, which American Steel either handles themselves or subcontracts out – so you get a ready-to-use building.
American Steel Construction is a great choice if you want a customized steel building and prefer to have it locally designed and constructed. However, the company is mostly the best fit for larger projects.

5. Capital Steel Industries
Capital Steel Buildings is a Colorado-based metal building company offering custom and kit metal buildings. The builder uses a building system with set sizes and spans, so you can scale your building up and down, from 20 feet all the way to 200 in either direction.
You also get the benefit of every piece being standardized and prefabricated, meaning you save on design and construction costs for every building. The building system itself is bolt-together, meaning that once on site, the frame can go up in a matter of days.
Capital Steel Industries also works with local builders to help you find a construction crew for your building. That means site prep, concrete work, and even full turnkey services.
You can also order a ready-to-ship kit from Capital Steel and simply put it up yourself, although construction and erection services are provided at cost, so generally it’s a better idea to work directly with Capital Steel for your building erection.

The company primarily works with simple buildings for agricultural, commercial, and storage use. However, it also offers highly custom metal buildings that you can use for offices, barndominiums, and more.
But, with the smallest building available starting at 2,400 square feet, this builder is not the best fit if you’re looking for a garage or a small shop.
Buck Steel also only offers the building kit. This means you’ll have to find your own erection crew and contractor to put the kit up.
However, Buck Steel will work with you to custom engineer your steel building to exactly your needs and will then ship you a kit that’s ready to erect, complete with foundation plans and other details.

The company can then prefabricate the building and deliver it to your site. You can also get crane services for erection.
Elite Steel Builders also offers a mix of building frame options including structural steel and arch span as well as pole frame, so you don’t need a foundation.
Whatever you order, Elite Steel will custom design and construct it and then help you with the erection. That makes this the best fit for larger storage and commercial or agricultural metal buildings.
Otherwise, this Michigan metal building company is very versatile and one of the few to do full fabrication in the state.

MW also offers building erection and installation. However, it does not provide concrete work. Therefore, if you want a concrete floor, you’ll have to contract someone else to pour that for you.
However, MW puts in pole barns, which use piers, not a foundation, so you won’t need the concrete slab. Otherwise, MW will show up, erect your building, seal it, and hand it over to you ready to use for whatever you want.

Viking Steel Structures offers flat-rate building kits that you can buy off the shelf. You can also work with the company to design your own building, although options include a few roofing options, custom sizing, and custom colors.
You can also put together lean-tos and secondary buildings, with any of them at heights between 9 and 18 feet tall. That gives you some flexibility to design a highly custom metal building without paying for unique engineering.

In addition, every building is prefabricated and shipped ready to erect, although you’ll need a foundation or piers in the ground first.
While erection services are optional, Garage Buildings will normally put up its own buildings within a day, meaning you’ll have a minimum of hassle and materials damage during erection.
Garage Buildings offers 12- and 14-gauge steel, 3 roof options, and about 12 color options. You can also customize your building with trim. Otherwise, this is a very simple building kit supplier with no customizations for barn homes or traditional barns.

Allied Steel also offers fully custom metal buildings designed and engineered around the needs of your business and job site. Alternatively, you can opt for a smaller building kit, suitable for anything from a shop to a barndominium.
On the other hand, Allied Steel is not a great choice if you’re looking for a small building or shop.
Allied Steel can offer full building erection on most of its buildings. This includes site prep and concrete work, although Allied will most likely subcontract this to a local Michigan contractor.

In addition, American Buildings can custom design a building for you with a number of roofs, panels, doors and windows, and other options.
In either case, you’ll end up with a relatively straightforward metal building kit that you can use for storage, a garage, warehousing, a shed, a barn, etc. American Buildings can also build very large but still supplies even relatively small 20 x 20 kits.

Butler is a great choice if you want a basic steel building with no real customizations. For example, if you want more than a “metal box”, this isn’t the builder for you.
