Whether you cultivate leafy greens, hydroponic herbs, exotic mushrooms, ornamentals —or medical cannabis and hemp—SteelCo’s pre‑engineered steel grow houses give you a secure, climate‑precise shell that goes up fast, expands easily and meets the strictest food‑ and pharma‑grade standards. Our nationwide kits arrive ready to bolt together, delivering the strength, corrosion resistance and energy efficiency indoor farmers need to protect crops, streamline compliance and scale production without delay.
Begin with an initial project consultation to identify key needs and set clear goals. Our team will develop conceptual designs, prepare preliminary sketches, and provide you with a detailed quote so you know what to expect right from the start.
After reviewing the initial designs, you’ll approve the final layout and contract. We’ll then coordinate the fabrication timeline and provide an estimated materials delivery date, ensuring everyone is aligned before proceeding to the next stage.
Our engineers produce stamped permit drawings based on your project’s complexity:
With approved drawings in hand, your contractor handles permits, sitework, and foundation preparation. This pre-construction phase—securing necessary permits, performing site grading, and forming/pouring the foundation—usually spans 4–8 weeks, setting the stage for a smooth installation.
We finalize production schedules and prepare your materials for shipment. Throughout this phase, we maintain open communication, ensuring that you, your contractor, and our team are coordinated for an efficient delivery and installation process.
Once materials are delivered, your contractor begins the metal building system (MBS) installation. Depending on complexity and site conditions, this can take 1–3 months, during which we remain focused on providing a quality, durable structure that meets your expectations.
After installation, you’ll join your installer in a thorough walkthrough to ensure everything meets your specifications. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we’ll continue to offer support should you need any future assistance or modifications.
Steel’s speed, strength and precision have long powered factories, warehouses and auto centers; now the same pre‑engineered metal buildings are transforming agriculture—especially the fast‑moving medical‑cannabis and hemp sectors. Because frames are cut and drilled at the factory, entire grow houses bolt together in weeks, letting cultivators scale production quickly and get to market ahead of shifting regulations and consumer demand.
From cannabis and hemp to hydroponic lettuce, vertical micro‑greens, exotic mushrooms and seed‑stock nurseries, growers choose steel because it combines speed of erection with rugged, food‑grade durability. Clear‑span frames leave the floor open for rolling benches, NFT channels or stackable racking, while high bay heights accommodate duct socks, LED light grids and CO₂ plumbing. A galvanized shell shrugs off moisture, fertilizers and cleaning chemicals, cutting maintenance and insurance costs and giving producers a secure, pest‑resistant envelope that protects high‑value crops from weather, trespass and cross‑contamination.
Precise climate is the lifeblood of indoor farming, and steel buildings make it easy to dial in crop‑specific parameters—whether that’s 78 °F/65 % RH for basil, 68 °F/90 % RH for shiitakes or full blackout photoperiods for budding cannabis. Column‑free bays simplify airflow modeling; insulated metal panels minimize thermal bridging; and pre‑engineered roof loads support dense LED arrays, dehumidifiers and HEPA filtration without extra steel. Your contractor can integrate odor‑scrub or food‑grade HVAC, sanitary wall liners, floor drains and fertigation chases at the design stage, delivering a turnkey, GMP‑ready grow house that keeps plants—and profits—thriving season after season.
For over 24 years, SteelCo Buildings has delivered top-quality pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) materials and self-storage solutions. From prefab kits to custom designs, we provide 100% American-manufactured, sustainable materials backed by stamped foundation plans and expert guidance on permits and zoning. With decades of experience and a 92% satisfaction rate, SteelCo combines superior quality with unmatched customer support to ensure every project’s success.

Get answers to common questions about our self-storage building kits, customization options, and services.
Steel buildings offer the durability, flexibility, and climate control capabilities essential for grow houses. Their clear-span interiors allow for open grow layouts and equipment placement, while insulation and ventilation systems can be easily integrated to maintain precise environmental conditions.
Absolutely. Whether you need space for vertical grow racks, hydroponic systems, or processing and packaging, our PEMB structures can be tailored to fit your specific operation—both in layout and functionality.
No, we supply the structural PEMB shell, but our team can coordinate with your mechanical, electrical, and HVAC partners to ensure seamless integration into the building design. This approach allows growers to customize the interior systems based on crop type, scale, and compliance needs.
Our grow house buildings typically range from 5,000 to over 50,000 square feet. Whether you’re starting with a single-room setup or planning a multi-phase facility, we offer scalable options to match your current needs and future expansion plans.
