Serving Minnesota from the Red River to the North Shore, Simpson Steel Building Company makes selecting a steel building straightforward and predictable. Whether you’re expanding a farm shop, adding fleet storage, or creating a service bay, our metal building kits arrive coordinated for efficient assembly, dependable performance, and clear documentation. We tailor scope, accessories, and timelines so your site, crew, and budget stay aligned.
Professional, Reliable Kits for Minnesota
Each kit includes engineered framing, roof and wall panels, trim, and hardware—everything needed to erect a professional-grade metal building. Choose useful options such as insulation, gutters, lean-tos, translucent panels, and interior liner panels. Need permitting support? We can supply drawings and, when requested, stamped submittals to help with local reviews. A pre-engineered steel building minimizes jobsite surprises. Labeled components fit as intended, instructions are practical, and your crew spends more time installing and less time improvising. Our patented truss approach focuses on constructability and value, giving you a durable metal building without unnecessary complexity or inflated costs.
Designed for Minnesota Projects
Snow, wind, and freeze-thaw cycles demand planning. We coordinate shipping, share bundle weights for unloading, and help you stage a clean laydown area so the erection starts smoothly. If your project requires spans or design loads beyond truss limits, we’ll discuss alternate frames that meet your goals, schedule, and budget. Ready to turn plans into reality?

We also deliver metal building in California.
Simpson Steel Building Company has been providing metal buildings to the great state of Minnesota for over 40 years. We’ve become 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! If you are in the higher snow load areas of Minnesota we offer a Rigid Frame building design that will meet any snow load requirement necessary while also still providing all of the functionality that you need.
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 Minnesota residents 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 Minnesota engineer in the event you need these items for permitting. Most projects in Minnesota 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
How should we plan for Minnesota snow and wind conditions?
Begin with your local authority’s requirements, including exposure category and ground snow load. We can provide drawings—and, on request, stamped documents—to support review, while your engineer finalizes the foundation and anchors. Good site drainage and snow-shedding strategies around doors help protect the building, the slab, and equipment.
What foundation approach works best for Minnesota frost conditions?
Most owners choose a reinforced slab with a properly compacted, well-drained subbase and footings placed below local frost depth. In high-movement soils, a thickened-edge slab or pier-and-grade-beam design can reduce heave, protect door openings, and improve long-term alignment. Specify a quality vapor barrier, adequate rebar, and control joints, and consider rigid insulation at edges to limit frost undercutting and condensation.
How can I improve comfort and efficiency inside the building?
Select insulation with appropriate R-values, seal transitions with closures and tape, and consider ventilation or fans to manage moisture. Thoughtful door and window placement improves workflow, daylight, and safety. Regular gutter maintenance and seasonal rinses also protect finishes, hardware, and the interior environment.
