When you are building a new space to live, work, or play, you want structures that are durable, comfortable, and easy to configure to your needs. That’s why we love prefabricated metal buildings. Whether you are building a multi-acre ranch compound in the Hill Country, adding a new garage to your lot, or building a commercial warehouse for your business, prefabricated steel buildings can fit your needs.

But what is it that makes manufactured metal structures suited for custom buildings in Austin? First off, steel is a great fit for our climate, in that it serves well as an insulator, so you’ll save energy keeping cool. Also, steel is great protection against water damage, so your structure will endure whatever the weather brings. Finally, Texas is home to Mueller, Inc., one of the finest custom prefabricated metal building manufacturers, so you can keep it local as you save time and money on your building project.

Here are just a few ways an Austin custom home builder can incorporate manufactured metal buildings into your Austin custom home or commercial structure.

Custom Houses and Cabins

If you want a unique look for your home or lake cabin, manufactured steel provides a mix of contemporary style and function. With the exterior support of metal, your home can have an open floor plan and plenty of windows to enjoy the Central Texas sunshine. Prefabricated steel building shapes also allow for modular designs, like a ranch style home with open-air walkways between rooms. Other house styles that work well for manufactured metal structures are modern farmhouse, contemporary, and Texas Modern.  

Garages

Whether you are a water sports enthusiast, a car collector or someone who just loves having extra space to tinker, a prefabricated metal garage is just right for you. Because they are custom built to scale, you can make your space exactly the size and shape you want. Plus, you will have the peace of mind that your RV, boat, sporting equipment, or tools are protected from whatever the Texas weather can dish up.

Studio / Workshops

It’s important to have a space of your own to practice your craft, be it woodworking, yoga, music, or ceramics. Prefabricated metal buildings offer an affordable solution for flexible structures that reduce distractions and encourage creativity. We can help you design your studio or workshop to suit your specifications, so you can do your work your way. And you won’t have to worry about disturbing the household by being too loud or working late into the night. 

Storage and Warehouses

Home maintenance, hobbies, family changes, and modern life create a need for a designated space to hold all that we accumulate over the years. Luckily, you can easily expand square footage on your property with a prefabricated steel structure dedicated to storing your items. And because everyone has a different system for keeping their things safe and organized, we can help you make a space that is suited to your needs, including overhead doors or loading docks. Whether you want a little extra space or a lot, a manufactured metal building gives you all the room you require to grow.

Barn and Ranch Structures

Because we specialize in creating unique ranch properties as Austin custom home construction professionals, we have a ton of experience building structures for livestock and farm equipment. Nothing beats the ease and reliability of prefab metal structures for housing cattle, horses, goats, sheep, and poultry, as well as all that you need for their care and feeding. If you are planning a hobby farm or a professional operation on your ranch, we can help you design and install the buildings you need to make your life on the range complete.

Commercial Buildings

Though our primary focus at Mangum Builders is on Austin custom homes, we can also provide support for the construction of custom prefabricated steel commercial buildings. Prefabricated metal structures are particularly suited for manufacturing, construction, transportation, and self-storage operations, but they can even be used for offices, schools, churches, lodging, and Main Street style storefronts. With plenty of custom designs and styles, we can help you get your business up and running at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional commercial construction projects.
