Full-Spectrum Metal Building Capabilities

Gonzales Construction delivers comprehensive services that span the entire project lifecycle. Whether you need a design-build partner to manage your project from concept to completion, a specialized subcontractor for the metal building scope, or pre-construction support to evaluate feasibility and costs, our team brings the expertise to deliver results.

Our design-build approach provides single-source accountability for your entire metal building project. We integrate design, engineering, procurement, and construction under one contract, eliminating coordination gaps between separate firms while accelerating project delivery.
Smart projects start with thorough pre-construction planning. Our team evaluates feasibility, develops accurate budgets, and identifies potential challenges before construction begins, helping you make informed decisions and avoid costly surprises.

As your prime contractor, Gonzales Construction assumes complete responsibility for project delivery. We coordinate all trades, manage subcontractors, and maintain rigorous quality and safety standards throughout construction.

Our experienced construction managers provide hands-on supervision throughout the building process. With dedicated personnel on site, we ensure work proceeds according to plans, specifications, and schedule requirements.
Accurate cost information is essential for project success. Our estimating team uses industry-leading tools and decades of experience to develop detailed, reliable cost projections that support informed decision-making.

Flexible Delivery to Match Your Project Structure

We understand that every project has unique requirements and contracting structures. Gonzales Construction adapts to your needs, whether serving as your prime design-build contractor or integrating as a specialized subcontractor within a larger project team.

Prime Design-Build Contractor

When you need single-source accountability, we serve as your prime contractor with complete responsibility for the metal building project. This approach provides streamlined communication, consolidated contracts, and one team managing every aspect from design through closeout.

Specialized Subcontractor

For projects where the metal building is one component of a larger scope, we work seamlessly as a subcontractor to the prime contractor. Our team integrates with your project structure, coordinates with other trades, and delivers the metal building scope on schedule and to specification.
