Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings
In-house designed pre-engineered metal buildings developed during the design meeting to match your needs, timeline, and budget, ensuring efficiency, accuracy, and fewer changes from planning through construction.
Every completed steel building starts long before the first truck arrives at a jobsite.
Before the walls are installed. Before the roof is sheeted. Before the concrete is poured.
It begins with raw steel and the people responsible for transforming it into a building system designed to serve customers for decades.
At Muleshoe Buildings, that process takes place in Columbus, Texas.
Manufacturing locally gives us greater control over the quality, schedules, and building systems our customers depend on. Every step, from design through fabrication, is focused on delivering a building that's ready to perform long before it reaches your property.
STEP 1: DESIGNING THE BUILDING SYSTEM
because that's what the customer experiences first.
Then...
Every project starts with a purpose.
A workshop.
A warehouse.
Equipment storage.
A commercial facility.
A barndominium.
Before steel is fabricated, every building system is designed around the customer's goals and engineered to meet project requirements, including:
- Building dimensions
- Wind loads
- Roof loads
- Door openings
- Insulation systems
- Future expansion
Designing first ensures every component works together before manufacturing ever begins.
Step 2: Manufacturing the Primary Structure
Once the building system has been designed, fabrication begins. Primary structural components form the backbone of the building.
These include:
- Columns
- Rafters
- Main frame members
- Structural connections
These components are responsible for transferring loads throughout the structure and ultimately into the foundation.
Every weld, cut, and connection plays an important role in the performance of the finished building.
Step 3: Producing Secondary Steel Components
The primary frame may get most of the attention, but secondary framing is equally important to the building system.
At Muleshoe, we manufacture:
- Purlins
- Girts
- Secondary framing members
These components support wall and roof systems while helping create the framework needed for insulation, doors, windows, and accessories.
Because we manufacture both the primary and secondary framing, the entire building system is produced to work together. That helps create a more consistent fit during erection while reducing unnecessary coordination between multiple suppliers.
Step 4: Quality Control and Preparation
Before materials leave our facility, every component is reviewed, organized, and prepared for shipment.
Careful staging helps reduce delays in the field, keeps installation moving efficiently, and gives crews confidence that the right materials arrive together.
Attention to detail during this stage contributes to a smoother experience in the field.
Step 5: Delivery to the Jobsite
Once manufacturing is complete, the building system is prepared for transportation.
Materials are delivered to the project location where construction activities can begin.
For many customers, delivery is the beginning of the project.
For our team, it's the result of weeks of design, fabrication, welding, quality control, and coordination.
Every truck leaving our facility represents far more than steel. It represents a complete building system prepared for construction.
Step 6: Construction Begins
With materials on site, the building starts to take shape.
The structural frame is erected.
Secondary framing is installed.
Roof and wall panels are attached.
Openings are framed.
Building systems come together.
What began as raw steel has become a complete building system designed to support businesses, equipment, investments, families, and future growth.
Because so much planning happened before construction began, crews can focus on building, not solving manufacturing problems!
More Than Manufacturing
Local manufacturing allows for greater control over the details that matter most to customers.
When design, engineering, fabrication, quality control, and project coordination work together under one organization, customers benefit from:
- Greater consistency
- Better quality control
- More dependable schedules
- Building systems designed to work together
- A team that's accountable from design through delivery
That's why Muleshoe manufactures in Columbus, Texas.
We believe the work completed before a building reaches the jobsite has a direct impact on how well it performs after construction begins.
Built in Columbus. Built for Texas.
Every Muleshoe building starts with raw steel and ends with a purpose-built structure designed to serve its owner for years to come.
From manufacturing and engineering to construction and project support, our team takes pride in every step of the process.
Because every successful steel building starts long before the first truck arrives.
It starts with thoughtful design, quality manufacturing, and a team committed to delivering building systems customers can depend on for decades.
