Why Build Your Barndominium with Steel Instead of Wood?

Choosing the right building material is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. At GMS, we design steel structures that are stronger, faster to build, and built to last.

Here’s why steel outperforms traditional wood construction:

Unmatched Strength & Long-Term Durability

Steel is engineered to withstand high winds, heavy snow loads, and even fire. Unlike wood, it doesn’t weaken over time.

With steel, your barndominium is built to protect your investment for decades.

Faster Construction, Less Labor

Our steel building kits are pre-engineered for precision and efficiency.

With fewer materials to cut, adjust, and frame on-site, construction moves faster — helping you save both time and labor costs.

No Warping. No Cracking. No Rot.

Wood expands, contracts, and can deteriorate due to temperature and humidity changes.

Steel stays stable year after year, maintaining its structural integrity without splitting, twisting, or cracking.

Lightweight but Extremely Strong

Steel framing provides superior strength while remaining lightweight.

This allows for large open spaces, higher ceilings, and flexible layouts — without interior support columns getting in the way of your design.

Resistant to Moisture & Mold

Steel does not absorb water, swell, or develop mold.

For humid or rainy climates, this makes steel a smarter and safer long-term solution.

Lower Long-Term Costs

Steel is often competitively priced compared to wood.

Faster build times reduce labor expenses, and minimal maintenance requirements mean fewer unexpected costs over the life of your structure.

Sustainable & Eco-Friendly

Steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.

When you build with steel, you reduce waste while investing in a durable and environmentally responsible solution.

Build Stronger. Build Smarter. Build with GMS.

If you’re planning your barndominium, don’t settle for outdated materials.

Choose a structure designed for performance, longevity, and value.
