Are you a metal building company?
No. This website is a free referral service, not a contractor or a dealer. We don't sell, build or install metal buildings ourselves. When you submit a request, we forward it to an independent metal building contractor serving the Lafayette area, who contacts you directly and gives you their own quote.
Does it cost anything to request a quote?
No. Submitting a request is free and there's no obligation to hire anyone. Any price you agree to is between you and the contractor.
Who will contact me?
One independent local metal building contractor. We don't sell your request to a list of companies. See our privacy page for details.
Do I need a permit for a metal building in Lafayette?
Most permanent buildings need a permit, and rules depend on size, use and whether the property is inside city limits or in the parish. Check with Lafayette Consolidated Government (or your parish if you're outside Lafayette Parish) before you build, and ask your contractor whether they handle permits.
Does the building need to be rated for wind?
Buildings in south Louisiana are designed for local wind and code requirements. Ask the contractor for engineered drawings that match your address and confirm how the building will be anchored.
How much does a metal building cost?
It depends mostly on size, height, doors, insulation, whether you need a slab, and steel prices at the time. We don't publish prices because they vary by project; the contractor will quote yours.
Does a contractor need a license in Louisiana?
Depending on the type and size of the job, contractors may need a license or registration from the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors (LSLBC). You can look up a contractor on the LSLBC website before you hire.
Do you serve areas outside Lafayette?
Requests from Lafayette and nearby communities in Acadiana are welcome. Enter your ZIP code and the contractor will confirm whether they can serve your property.
