Metal Buildings — OKC Metro
Metal buildings erected right the first time.
Shops, equipment barns, and light commercial steel across the Oklahoma City metro. BKG handles the dirt, the slab, the steel, and the finish — one contract, start to finish.
We respond to every quote request within one business day.
The straight story
The whole scope. One name on it.
A metal building looks simple from the road. The failures live in the parts you cannot see: a slab that was never designed for the column loads, anchor bolts set out of pattern, framing pulled into place instead of erected plumb. BKG builds the whole system — dirt, concrete, steel, and finish — so nothing gets lost between subs.
We build for how the building will actually be used. A welding shop needs different power, air, and clear height than a hay barn. A shop you will work in every August needs insulation and ventilation decided before the sheeting goes on, not after. Tell us what the building is for, and we spec it backward from that.
Every quote is a line-item scope: pad, slab, steel package, erection, doors, insulation, electrical. You see exactly what you are buying before you sign, and changes only happen on paper, with your signature.
What’s covered
The build standard.
No mystery line items. This is the work, named the way it reads on site and in your contract.
-
Engineered steel packages
Frames engineered for Oklahoma wind and load codes, sized to your spans, eave heights, and door schedule.
-
Concrete done right
Pad prep, reinforced slab, and anchor bolts set to the manufacturer’s pattern — the detail most steel-building problems trace back to.
-
Erection that holds a level
Columns plumb, frame square, sheeting tight, trim clean. A fast frame that is out of square costs you at every step after.
-
Doors sized for the work
Overhead doors, walk doors, and framed openings sized for what actually has to pass through them — with room to spare.
-
Insulation and ventilation
From vapor-barrier blanket to closed-cell spray foam, matched to whether the building is cold storage or a place you work every day.
-
Shop finish-out
Electrical, lighting, compressed-air rough-in, restrooms, mezzanines, office build-outs. A shell is the start of the scope, not the limit.
In writing
Every line of the quote, before you sign it.
A BKG quote is a scope you can read line by line — and hold us to after. This is what it covers.
- Site evaluation, pad building, and drainage
- Reinforced concrete slab with anchor bolts set to the frame’s bolt pattern
- Engineered steel package: red iron frames, girts, purlins, sheeting, trim
- Full erection — columns plumb, frame square, sheeting weather-tight
- Overhead doors, walk doors, windows, and framed openings
- Insulation options from blanket systems to closed-cell spray foam
- Electrical, lighting, and interior finish-out as scoped

Good questions
Straight answers, up front.
The same answers we give across the kitchen table — no hedging, no fine print.
See every questionWhat spans and clear heights can you build?
Clear-span steel goes well past what wood framing can do — wide enough for equipment bays and RV storage with no interior columns. Height is driven by your doors and what has to move under the frame. Measure the tallest thing that has to fit inside, add working clearance, and we engineer the eave height and door schedule from there.
How thick does the slab need to be?
It depends on what sits on it. A slab under a zero-turn mower is not a slab under a loaded gooseneck or a two-post lift. We design thickness, reinforcement, and footings from the actual loads — frame reactions plus whatever you will park, stack, or mount — instead of pouring a one-size pad and hoping.
Can a metal shop actually be heated and cooled?
Yes, if the envelope is right. An uninsulated steel box is an oven in July and sweats all winter. Insulation choice, ridge and eave ventilation, and door placement decide whether climate control is reasonable or futile. We spec that with you up front, based on how you will use the space.
I already bought a steel kit. Will you erect it?
Ask us. It depends on the kit, the engineering documents that came with it, and the condition of your slab if one exists. We review what you have and tell you straight whether it is a building we are willing to stand behind — and what it needs if it is not there yet.
Can you add on to an existing metal building?
Often, yes. Lean-tos, bay extensions, and enclosing open sides are common asks. The answer lives in the original frame’s engineering and the condition of the existing slab, so we inspect both before we quote it.
Need a building that works as hard as you do?
Tell us what it has to hold, park, or power. We spec the frame, the slab, and the finish around it — then hand you a free line-item quote.
