Metal Buildings
Shop, storage and workspace buildings sized and spanned around what has to fit inside — put up by a contractor, not dropped off on a trailer.

What we build
Six categories
A look at some of the work we do, from complete builds to exterior improvements and specialty projects.
Custom Homes
Conventional custom homes, managed from planning through to final details — not every house we build is a metal building.

Commercial Buildings
Metal commercial buildings for businesses opening, expanding or replacing a building they have outgrown — and the structural steel package underneath somebody else's job.

Barndominiums
Metal buildings with full living quarters inside — open-concept, energy-efficient and low-maintenance. Shouses, where the shop comes first, are built the same way.

Steel Roofing & Siding
Metal roofing, siding, soffit, gutters and downspouts — on a new building, or replacing what is on one you already own.

…and More
Additions, remodels, outdoor structures, agricultural and other specialty buildings — the work that does not fit neatly under one of the other five.

Not sure which one you want
Barndominium, shouse or shop
These three overlap enough that people use the words interchangeably. They are not the same building, and the difference shows up in what you pay for.
Barndominium
A house first. Open-concept living quarters finished out inside the building, usually across the majority of the footprint. Shop space, if there is any, is the smaller share.
Shouse
A shop first, with a connected house. The shop side is usually taller and takes the bigger share of the footprint. Unfinished square footage costs less to build than finished square footage, which is the whole reason people ask which of the two is cheaper.
Metal building
No living quarters. A workspace or storage building for a business or for personal use, sized and spanned around the equipment, vehicles and clear floor you need inside it.
Commercial work and structural steel sit on the other side of the business. Commercial metal buildings are for a business opening, expanding or replacing a building it has outgrown. Structural steel erection — the same page — is a scoped package for a general contractor who already has the job.
How a build runs
We Plan. We Build. We Deliver.
From the first conversation through the final details, we manage the process from the ground up. Every project is different, but the goal is the same: understand what you need, plan it well, and build it right.
01
Plan around your life
Before we draw lines or price materials, we need to understand how you plan to use the building. How much space do you need? How will you live or work in it? What needs to fit, flow, or function a certain way? We start with your needs and plan the building around them.
02
Build the foundation
Every good building starts with the right foundation. Depending on the project, that may be a concrete slab, crawl space, basement, or another engineered foundation system. We prepare the site and build the foundation the structure needs.
03
Frame the structure
Whether the structure is conventional wood framing, post-frame construction, or structural steel, this is when the building takes shape. Walls, columns, beams, trusses, and roof framing establish the size, strength, and form of the finished building.
04
Plan the details
For finished homes and interior build-outs, our interior project manager works with you to select and coordinate the details: flooring, cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, finishes, colors, and more. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
05
Enclose and finish
Roofing, siding, windows, doors, trim, insulation, and interior finishes bring everything together. We coordinate the remaining trades and details until the building is enclosed, finished, and ready for you to use.
More than a building kit
We’re not limited to standard kits or a short list of basic options. We have economical building packages ready to price when simplicity and budget are the priority, but our ability to customize is virtually unlimited. Your building can be as straightforward or as unique as the project requires.
That is also the whole reason this company exists. Ben Bowser grew up in his family’s steel roofing and siding business and kept watching customers buy a building and then struggle to find anyone dependable to erect it.
Scope
Two ways to hire us
The same crews and the same steel, sold two different ways. Which one you need depends on whether anyone else is already running your job.
We run the whole build
On Built Around the Hearth we managed every phase, from planning to final details. One contractor answering for the schedule, the trades and the finish.
We take the steel package
On the Valley Springs Fitness Center we provided the steel framework on a red iron building led by Davis Construction. When a general contractor already owns the job, we erect and get out of the way.
We say which one we were
Every commercial project we publish names our actual role. Being the steel subcontractor under a named GC is a more useful thing for a buyer to know than a vague claim to have built it.
Straight answers
Questions we get first
No prices and no timelines on this page. Both are project numbers, and a builder who quotes them before seeing your site is guessing.
- Do you build the whole thing, or just the shell?
- Both, and the honest answer depends on your project. We have managed every phase of a residential build from planning to final details, and we have also come onto a commercial job as the steel subcontractor and nothing else. Tell us which shape you want and we will tell you whether it is the right one.
- Do you sell metal building kits?
- No. We are a contractor, not a supplier. Integrity was started because customers were buying metal buildings and then could not find a dependable contractor to erect them — so if you have already bought a building, erecting it is the job this company was founded to do.
- Do you have floor plans I can pick from?
- We do not publish a plan library. We build to your plan, or work alongside the designer or engineer you are using. If someone shows you six named plans and a price, they are selling you a product; we are quoting you a building.
- What do you not do?
- We do not lend money or offer in-house financing, we do not sell land, and we do not publish a floor-plan or kit library. Several builders in this market do some of those, and we would rather point you at the right person than pretend. What we do handle on a build is the whole of it — site preparation, the foundation, the structure, the envelope and the finish.
- Where do you build?
- We build across Harrison, Boone County, and surrounding North Arkansas communities. If your site sits outside that, ask before you assume it is out of range — we will tell you honestly whether we can run a full build there or only the shell.
