Metal buildings in Severance, CO — coordinated by Amsteel Midwest with a Project Advisor serving Northern Colorado. Severance has gone from a crossroads with a famous steakhouse to one of the fastest-growing towns in Colorado — new neighborhoods filling the ground between Windsor and Eaton, and acreage households holding the edges. Growing properties need buildings, and we coordinate all three structural systems: tubular steel, cold formed steel, and red iron.
Weld County’s building department and the town’s own code mean permits and engineered drawings are the norm — so the engineering cost difference between systems, not sales preference, drives which building we recommend.
Which Type of Metal Building Fits Your Severance 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 Severance Buyers Are Building
Severance projects are growth-driven: two- and three-car garages, RV covers, finished workshops, and storage for the new households, plus horse and utility buildings on the acreage parcels around town. Cold formed steel’s engineering cost advantage — roughly $0.75 per square foot versus about $2.00 for tubular — makes it the frequent winner for enclosed buildings, with tubular competitive on smaller certified structures and covers. Spans of 60’+ go red iron.
Permitting in Severance — What You Need to Know
Projects inside Severance town limits permit through the Town of Severance; unincorporated ground permits through the Weld County building department. Expect permits and engineered drawings on most structures, with Weld’s established agricultural processes available for qualifying farm buildings. We run the ASCE 7 hazard tool against your specific Severance address and confirm your jurisdiction before you finalize.

What is the best type of metal building for Severance?
For garages, workshops, and storage under Weld County engineering requirements, cold formed steel frequently wins on total project cost. Covers and smaller certified buildings keep tubular in play, and 60’+ spans or doors over 20′ are red iron work.
Do I need a permit for a metal building in Severance?
Yes, in nearly all cases — the Town of Severance in town and Weld County on unincorporated ground, with engineered drawings on most structures. We confirm your parcel’s process before you order.
What metal building sizes are most popular in Severance?
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.
