At Simpson Steel Building Company, we help Arkansas owners move from idea to installation with practical choices and clear guidance. Whether you’re planning storage, shop space, or light commercial, our metal building kits keep budgets predictable and timelines tight. When your project calls for proven strength, every steel building we supply is engineered to your location and use, then supported by a friendly, flexible team that keeps you informed. Our patented truss system delivers open interiors with fewer pieces, simpler erection, and strong performance at a smart price. Need doors, windows, or insulation? We’ll align options with your goals, schedule, and code requirements so your metal building works on day one.
Why Our Truss Design Works
By deriving strength from geometry—not massive I-beams—our truss frame often prices lower than comparable rigid frames while meeting specified loads. For projects that exceed truss limits, we can step you into a rigid steel building solution and explain the tradeoffs. Either way, you get a durable shell that’s easy to outfit and maintain. Quotes are fast and transparent. We’ll ask for your dimensions, ZIP code (for loads and freight), endwall choices, openings, and preferred accessories. Submit the quote form, call our team, or use a quick-contact note for simple questions—we’ll respond promptly and help you choose the right metal building path. Ready to price your steel building with confidence? Contact us today—call or complete our quote form—and let’s turn your plan into a kit that installs smoothly, performs reliably, and fits your budget.
Simpson Steel Building Company has been providing metal buildings in Arkansas for over 40 years. We love the state so much, our owner lives here! Being form the area, our company is very familiar with and kept up with local building code changes that have come up over the years. Our patented truss design gives you all the benefits of a traditional red-iron structure for a much lower price point!
Our bolt-together building kits are easy to assemble and only require a forklift or tractor with tongs to move around. This makes our building kit the perfect solution for any Arkansan looking for an affordable DIY Kit for their project needs. Speaking of projects, our buildings work great for a multitude of uses, such as hay barns, stables, garages, shops, commercial buildings, and barndominium homes! In the event that you want someone to erect the building for you, we have a list of local contractors we can refer to help with that aspect of the project.
Simpson can provide complete engineered plans, engineered design calculations, and engineered foundation plans that are stamped by a licensed Arkansas engineer in the event you need these items for permitting. Most projects in Arkansas don’t even require engineer stamped items, and in these instances where non-stamped drafted plans will suffice, we’ll remove those unneeded engineering costs and pass those savings on to you!

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need to quote my building accurately?
- We’ll need width, length, and eave height, plus your ZIP code to confirm wind and snow criteria. Tell us door and window counts, insulation needs, endwall style, and any lean-tos or wainscot you’re considering. If you’re working with a slab or piers, share that too; it helps us align anchors, drawings, and lead times.
When should I choose a rigid frame instead of a truss system?
- Pick rigid when you need spans over 50 feet, higher eave heights, unusually heavy loads, or crane rails. Rigid frames also make sense for tall mezzanines or hangars with wide openings. If your scope changes, we’ll compare truss versus rigid steel building options, cost impacts, and erection differences before you decide.
How long do delivery and assembly typically take?
- Lead times vary by season and options, but we’ll provide an estimate with your quote. Many customers assemble with a local crew using standard equipment; others hire a contractor for speed. Plan ahead for permits, site access, and staging, and you’ll shorten the path from shipment to a finished metal building.
