Design and layout
Bay spacing, eave height, clear span, door and dock placement — sized around how you'll actually use the space, not around a catalog kit.
20+ years · Nationwide & global
The building you need, engineered before the first bolt ships.
I design and deliver custom pre-engineered metal buildings — from a straightforward cold-formed shell to a clear-span warehouse with 60 ft. modules and insulated metal panels. I work directly with the manufacturers, and I carry the responsibility for manufacturing mishaps all the way through completion.

Where I deliver
A‑1
What you get
Front-end work done right, so the back end goes smoothly.
Most building problems are decided long before steel arrives on site. This is the part I own.
Direct manufacturer sourcing
I buy straight from the plants. No layered markup, and no telephone game between you, a dealer, and the fabricator.
Responsibility through completion
If the plant gets something wrong, that's mine to fix. You get one number to call and one person answering for it.
A‑2
Sequence
How a building goes from a phone call to a finished shell.
01
Scope the use
What goes in it, what has to move through it, what the site and code will allow.
02
Design and price
Framing, spans, panel system and openings resolved into a real, buildable number.
03
Release to fabrication
Approved drawings go to the plant. I stay on the order and track it to the shipping date.
04
Deliver and close out
Material lands on site correct and complete. Any shortage or error is chased down by me.
Tell me what you need the building to do.
Bring a rough footprint, a use, and a site. That's enough to start.

About
Two decades of pre-engineered buildings, handled by one person.
I'm Lee Lilly. For more than 20 years I've worked the front end of pre-engineered metal buildings — the design, the specification, and the manufacturer relationship that determines whether a project runs clean or runs long.
Whether the job calls for a basic cold-formed metal building or a large warehouse with 60 ft. modules and insulated metal panels, the process is the same: understand the use, engineer the building around it, and buy it from the plant best suited to produce it.
I work directly with the manufacturers rather than through a dealer chain. That keeps the specification honest, keeps the pricing transparent, and means there's no one to point at when something needs correcting.
“I assume all responsibility for manufacturing mishaps through completion of the project.”

Scope
- 20+ years in pre-engineered metal building design and supply
- Direct manufacturer relationships — no dealer markup layered in
- Cold-formed through heavy clear-span structures
- Insulated metal panel envelopes and 60 ft. module warehouses
- Nationwide and global project delivery
- Single point of accountability from design through completion

Why it matters
What working with a direct provider changes.
Specified for the use
The building is sized for what happens inside it. No paying for span you don't need, no discovering too late that you needed more.
One conversation
Design questions, order status, and problems all go to the same person. Nothing gets lost between parties.
Wherever the site is
Projects across the country and overseas. Logistics and manufacturer selection are matched to the destination.
Have a project in mind?
A short conversation is usually enough to tell you whether a PEMB is the right call.

Services
Design/build custom metal buildings.
One service, carried end to end — from the first sketch of the footprint to the last piece of steel signed off on site.
Design/Build Custom Metal Buildings
Full front-end service: I design the building, specify the system, source it directly from the manufacturer, and stay responsible for it through completion. Cold-formed shells, clear-span warehouses, 60 ft. modules, insulated metal panel envelopes — specified to the job rather than pulled off a shelf.
- Building layout, bay spacing and eave height
- Structural system selection and clear-span design
- Panel, roof and insulation package specification
- Door, dock, window and accessory placement
- Manufacturer sourcing, order management and delivery tracking

Systems
Building systems I specify.
Cold-formed metal buildings
Light-gauge framing for smaller spans and tighter budgets. The efficient answer when the building doesn't need heavy structure to do its job.
Large-span warehouses
Rigid-frame structures with wide clear spans and 60 ft. modules — open floor plates for racking, staging and equipment movement.
Insulated metal panel envelopes
IMP wall and roof systems where thermal performance, a clean interior finish, or a controlled environment is part of the requirement.
Conventional PEMB shells
Standard pre-engineered frames for shops, storage, agricultural, commercial and light industrial use — built to the site's real loads.
C‑3
Applications
Buildings I put together.
Warehouse & distribution
Clear-span floor plates, dock and drive-in door layouts.
Manufacturing & industrial
Crane-ready framing, high eaves, heavy-use envelopes.
Commercial & retail
Shops, offices and mixed-use shells with finished frontage.
Agricultural & equipment
Storage, machine sheds and covered working space.
Not sure which system fits?
That's the first thing I'll help you sort out — before anyone quotes you anything.

Contact
Call or email — you'll reach me directly.
No call center, no ticket queue. Tell me the footprint, the use and the location, and I'll tell you what's realistic.
📍 Service area
Nationwide and global. Projects are supported wherever the site is, with manufacturer selection and logistics matched to the destination.
🏗️ What to have ready
Approximate footprint, intended use, site location, and any known height or code requirements. Rough numbers are fine to start.
⏱️ Response
Calls are the fastest way to reach me. Email inquiries are answered as quickly as I'm off a job.
