Metal buildings in Falcon, CO — coordinated by Amsteel Midwest with a Project Advisor serving the Pikes Peak region. Falcon is the Springs’ acreage boomtown — five-acre parcels off Woodmen and Highway 24, horse setups, and families who left the city grid for room to build. We coordinate tubular steel, cold formed steel, and red iron buildings for Falcon properties: garages, barns, shops, and RV covers.
Falcon is unincorporated El Paso County, which means one thing for permitting: everything runs through the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department. One office, one process — and because Falcon sits on the Palmer Divide’s snow belt, snow-load engineering to your specific address is the heart of every quote we write here.
Which Type of Metal Building Fits Your Falcon Project?
Tubular Steel — Our Most Popular System
Tubular steel is our highest-volume product and the system our Project Advisors know best. At 30’–40′ wide, a properly spec’d tubular building delivers an excellent result at a price point that works for the majority of our buyers, and it remains viable through 60′ wide for agricultural applications. Foam closures, rat guard trim, rake edges, and gutter packages can all be added for a clean finished appearance, with headered eave wall openings up to 20′ wide. Site-specific engineering runs approximately $2.00 per square foot when required.
Cold Formed Steel — Finished Buildings, Municipalities, and Barndominiums
Cold formed steel comes standard with foam closure systems, soffit options, upgraded trim packages, rat guard trim, rake edges, gutter packages, and standing seam roof options — properly sealed eaves from the start. It handles clear spans up to 60′ wide at approximately 15′ on center standard column spacing, and site-specific engineering runs approximately $0.75 per square foot — significantly less than tubular when engineering is required. In Colorado, where permits and engineered drawings are the norm nearly everywhere, that engineering cost difference makes cold formed the frequent total-cost winner for barndominiums, residential shells, finished workshops, and permitted projects.
Red Iron — 60’+ Spans, Large Door Openings, and Commercial Applications
Red iron pre-engineered structural steel is the standard for buildings 60′ wide and above and for commercial or industrial applications requiring door openings wider than 20′. At 25’–30′ on center standard frame spacing, red iron delivers wide open bay configurations for large equipment facilities, indoor riding arenas, commercial buildings, and agricultural structures.

What Falcon Buyers Are Building
Falcon demand is acreage-residential: garages and RV covers first, then horse barns, loafing sheds, and finished shops. With PPRBD requiring engineered drawings on most structures and Divide-country snow loads in play, cold formed steel’s engineering cost advantage makes it the frequent winner for enclosed buildings. Tubular stays competitive on smaller certified structures, and indoor arenas or 60’+ clear spans go red iron.
Permitting in Falcon — What You Need to Know
Falcon is unincorporated, so permits run through the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department — the single office covering El Paso County and most area cities. Expect a permit and engineered drawings on most structures, with snow loads meaningfully higher than in Colorado Springs proper thanks to Palmer Divide elevation. We run the ASCE 7 hazard tool against your specific Falcon address and handle the PPRBD documentation before you finalize.
Amsteel Midwest runs the ASCE 7 hazard tool against your specific project address, provides all engineered drawings and documentation, and advises on your jurisdiction’s requirements before you finalize your design. Installation is coordinated through manufacturer install networks for tubular buildings and referred professional installers for cold formed and red iron projects.

Frequently Asked Questions — Metal Buildings Falcon CO
What is the best type of metal building for Falcon?
For most Falcon projects — garages, barns, and finished shops under PPRBD engineering requirements and Divide snow loads — cold formed steel is the frequent winner on total project cost. Smaller certified buildings keep tubular competitive, and indoor arenas or 60’+ spans are red iron work.
Do I need a permit for a metal building in Falcon?
Yes — Falcon is unincorporated El Paso County, and the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department requires permits with engineered drawings on most structures. The upside is a single, predictable office for the whole region, and we know its process well.
What metal building sizes are most popular in Falcon?
Our most popular configurations are 30×40 and 30×50 for residential and small agricultural buyers, with larger agricultural and commercial operations frequently requesting 40×60 through 60×80. Browse our full inventory here.
