Wichita, KS Metal Building Contractor

We are a commercial metal building contractor working across Wichita and Sedgwick County, building, roofing, and repairing for aviation, industrial, and distribution owners. Our team brings over 80 years of combined experience, and we are a certified Butler Builder®.

Aircraft Hangar Construction in the Air Capital

Wichita’s aviation base includes Boeing’s Wichita operations (formerly Spirit AeroSystems), Textron Aviation, and McConnell Air Force Base, plus Eisenhower National and Jabara airports. We build aircraft hangars directly: a 40,000 square foot hangar in Lee’s Summit and two 20,000 square foot hangars in Olathe.

Beyond hangars, we handle design-build construction, steel erection, roofing, reskins, and repairs across the metro. Wichita’s temperature range and hail exposure make the roof system the decision that matters most on a metal building here.

Why Metal Buildings Perform Well in Wichita

Local conditions shape the design here more than the building type does.

A 100-Degree Annual Temperature Swing

Wichita averages 102.7 nights at or below freezing and 65 days at or above 90 in the same year, so roof panels need room to move.

Hail Exposure Across Kansas

Kansas recorded 375 severe hail events in 2025, second in the country behind Texas.

Foundations on Arkansas River Alluvium

Sedgwick County sits on sand and gravel alluvium, so foundation design follows the geotechnical report rather than a standard detail.

Clear Spans at Industrial Scale

Wichita’s Speculative Building Program sets a 100,000 square foot minimum and a 28-foot clear height for industrial projects, which rigid frames deliver without interior columns.

Certified Butler Builder® Serving Wichita

As a certified Butler Builder®, we build on Butler Manufacturing building systems, where the frame, roof, and wall panels are engineered as one assembly.

The MR-24® standing seam roof system uses concealed clips that let panels move as temperatures swing, which is where exposed-fastener roofs fail in this climate.

  • Frames engineered to the project’s actual loads
  • MR-24® standing seam roof with concealed clips and no roof penetrations
  • Butlerib® wall and roof panels
  • Structure, roof, and envelope from a single system
  • Manufacturer weathertightness warranty on qualifying roofs
