“Fortress built our 4,200 sq ft barndominium from the ground up. The quality is absolutely incredible — every detail handled with care. On time, on budget, and the crew was professional throughout the entire project.”

Jason & Sarah Henderson

Barndominium · Weatherford, TX

“Needed a large commercial shop built fast. Fortress delivered an 8,000 sq ft facility in 11 weeks. The project manager was in contact every step of the way. I’ve already referred three people. Best builder in DFW.”

Mike R., Owner

Commercial Shop · Mesquite, TX

“The design process was so collaborative — they listened to everything we wanted and brought ideas we hadn’t even thought of. Our ranch barn turned out better than anything we’d seen online. Worth every penny.”

FAQ

COMMON QUESTIONS

How much does a metal building cost in Texas?

Metal building costs vary widely by size, complexity, and finish level. A basic garage or shop starts around $25–$35/sq ft installed. A fully finished barndominium with custom interiors typically runs $90–$150+/sq ft. We provide detailed, itemized quotes at no charge so you can make a fully informed decision.

Timeline depends on size and complexity. A standard shop or garage typically takes 4–8 weeks from permit approval to completion. A full barndominium with custom finishes runs 3–6 months. We provide a written schedule in every proposal and stick to it.

Yes — completely. We manage the entire permitting process with your county or municipality, including engineered drawings and inspections. You don’t need to make a single call to the city. It’s all included in our service.

We work with several preferred lenders who specialize in construction financing for metal buildings and barndominiums. We also offer flexible milestone-based payment schedules. Ask your project consultant for full details during your consultation.

Absolutely. While our home base is Royse City, we build throughout the entire state of Texas — from the Panhandle to the Gulf Coast. No project is too far if the scope is right.

We offer a comprehensive structural warranty on all Fortress-built structures, plus manufacturer warranties on steel panels, roofing, and components. Full warranty documentation is provided at handoff and we remain reachable for the lifetime of your building.
