Hypersteel Metal Building

“Jon and his team just finished building an all metal garage building for me, and, did an amazing job. I am very happy with the result. High quality workmanship for a reasonable price, and, he did it all on schedule within the agreed budget. Very impressive. Through the entire project clear and frequent communication was there, never once wondered what was happening. Lastly, Jon and all his team are very knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful guys! Will gladly use Jon Del Construction for future projects!”

Project Overview

This metal pole barn was built to provide an affordable, durable structure for equipment storage and utility use. The goal was to deliver a strong, long-lasting building without unnecessary complexity or cost, while still allowing flexibility for future upgrades.

Location: Texas Hill Country

Build Type: Pole Barn / Bolt-Together Metal Building

Foundation: Reinforced Concrete Slab

The Client’s Goal

The client needed a covered structure for RV storage and farm equipment with a solid concrete floor capable of supporting heavy use. They also requested plumbing to be installed in the slab for a future bathroom and office space.  Budget efficiency and speed of construction were important, but structural integrity and long-term durability were non-negotiable.

This style of build was chosen over a fully enclosed shop because it provided the needed functionality at a significantly lower cost, with faster build time and the ability to add enclosure or interior finishes later if desired.

Build Process

We handled the full construction process from start to finish, including the metal building installation, concrete work, and insulation coordination.

The building is a 34′ × 52′ wood frame metal structure with a 14′ eave height and a 3:12 roof pitch, designed for both accessibility and airflow. The frame features a galvanized finish with Galvalume roofing and painted metal wall panels.

The concrete slab was engineered for durability, featuring:

• Reinforced perimeter beam

• Cross footings for added structural support

• Rebar reinforcement throughout the slab

• Plumbing rough-ins for a future bathroom and utility space

• Concrete piers to support the covered awning

Additional features include multiple roll-up door openings, personnel doors, a window opening, and a 10-foot-deep front awning to provide shaded exterior workspace.

Closed-cell spray foam insulation was applied to the walls and roof to improve temperature control and energy efficiency.

Key elements of the build included:

• Structural steel building installation

• Reinforced concrete slab with rebar grid

• Spray foam insulation for long-term performance

• Open interior layout for flexible use

• Future-ready design for enclosure or interior build-out

Cost & Timeline

Pole barns and metal buildings offer one of the best cost-to-value ratios for property owners, especially in rural and semi-rural areas.

Total Project Cost: Approximately $96,400

Cost Breakdown:

• Metal Building Package: ~$55,000

• Concrete Slab & Footings: ~$32,600

• Spray Foam Insulation: ~$8,800

Build Timeline: This project was completed in just 34 days. Exceeding the clients expectations.  For this size building, we typically schedule 4-6  weeks depending on site conditions, weather and scheduling.

Final Result

The completed pole barn provides dependable, flexible covered space that meets the client’s immediate needs while allowing room for future expansion. With a reinforced slab, insulated structure, and open layout, the building can easily transition into a workshop, storage facility, or enclosed shop over time.

Projects like this demonstrate why metal pole barns remain a popular option across the Texas Hill Country offering durability, efficiency, and adaptability without overbuilding.
