Metal Buildings in Colorado Springs
Mountain State Construction erects steel buildings across El Paso County and the Pikes Peak region, from Fountain and Security up through the city to Monument and the Palmer Divide. We engineer for the area's expansive soils, high wind, and hail.
Pikes Peak conditions.
El Paso County is known for expansive clay and claystone bedrock that can heave, so the foundation is the first thing we design, not the last. Add a region that sits squarely in hail country and sees real wind off the Palmer Divide and Ute Pass, and the envelope decisions matter. We engineer each building to its exact site.
Soils
The region's expansive clays and claystone bedrock are well documented, and some sites heave. A geotechnical report is essential and drives the foundation design.
Hail
The Springs sits in hail country. Panel gauge, roof slope, and fastening are specified with hail in mind so the envelope holds up over time.
Wind
High winds move across the region, and the Palmer Divide and Ute Pass funnel gusts. Exposure category is set per site rather than assumed.
Snow & Microclimate
The city is moderate, but Monument, Black Forest, and the Palmer Divide carry notably heavier snow. We size to your site, not to a single city figure.
Seismic
Seismic is low across the region and is not the controlling load on most sites. We confirm it against the governing code rather than assume it.
Code & Permitting
Much of the area is served by the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department. We provide engineered, stamped drawings built to the authority that governs your site.

Every building type, in the Pikes Peak region.
Our work here includes an 88x130 commercial studio in Colorado Springs, a 50x60 workshop in Fountain and a gambrel barn in Peyton. It is one of four regions we cover across Colorado. Start with the building type that fits your project, then bring it into a quote for your site.

Do you build throughout El Paso County?
Yes. We erect across the city, Fountain, Monument, Falcon, and Peyton, and out to Calhan and the surrounding area.
Does Colorado Springs hail affect my building?
It can. We specify panel gauge and roof detailing with the region's hail in mind so the envelope holds up.
My lot has expansive soil. Is that a problem?
It's common here. A geotechnical report drives a foundation designed for that ground, which is the right way to build on it.
Who issues the permit?
Much of the area is served by the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department. We provide stamped drawings to the authority that governs your site.
