industrial structures
We don’t build boxes. We build purpose-built spaces designed to perform under pressure, move at the speed of operations, and get the job done without compromise. If it doesn’t serve the work, it doesn’t make the cut.
Design-Build Construction for Industrial Structures
We don’t just know industrial construction, we’ve lived it. From steel builds to pre-engineered systems and remote O&M sites, we take on the kind of work that tests timing, coordination, and control.
We don’t hand you a template. We build to the terrain, the budget, and the way your team actually works. With active licensure in more than 42 states, MBA brings that capability coast to coast, adapting to local codes without losing sight of the bigger picture. Safety isn’t a statement, it’s a standard. Held tight. Checked constantly. Built in from day one. This is structure with purpose, built to carry the load without cutting corners.
Real Project. Real Results.
Construction & Design-build Projects for Engineered Structures
From remote sites to rapid builds, we work with the urgency and discipline real-world operations demand. Every plan starts with what the site requires and what the job can’t afford to miss. From planning to turnover, we align around the work, not the other way around.
The result? Structures that serve operations where downtime isn’t an option:
- Data Centers
- Renewable Energy Structures
- Operations & Maintenance Buildings
- Pre-engineered Metal Buildings/Tilt Wall
- Hydrogen and Carbon Capture
- Control Rooms
- Admin Buildings
- Blast Resistant Buildings
- Crude Oil Engineering Facilities
- Pump/Metering
- Transloading/Scale Houses
- Logistics/LTL
- Terminals
- Chemical Storage
Why you should work with us
MBA gives you a single point of contact for the entire build. No juggling vendors. No gaps in communication. Just one team steering the details, pushing progress forward, and making sure every piece of information lands where and when it needs to. The result? From streamlined procurement to tighter timelines, we cut distractions and reduce the headaches that slow projects down.
Our design-build approach keeps oversight simple and your budget in check. With well-defined scopes and pricing strategies, we bring cost clarity from day one. Because we manage the full process, we take full ownership, from value engineering and procurement to hitting milestones and closing out strong. With three decades of boots-on-the-ground experience, we’ve built in some of the most unforgiving environments on the map. We know what it takes to deliver. And we never cut corners on safety to get there.

Designing Industrial Structures That Withstand Time, Stress, and Scale
Studies show that many non-residential concrete buildings are demolished within 26 to 50 years, even though properly built concrete or steel structures can last 75 to 100+ years or more under good maintenance and design. That gap highlights how critical it is not just to build, but to build wisely.
Industrial Structures 101: Types, Applications, and What to Consider Before Building
Industrial structures play a central role in supporting various industries with space, functionality, and durability necessary to handle large-scale operations. From manufacturing facilities to warehouse buildings, these structures are the backbone of many crucial processes. In this article, we’ll take a comprehensive look into the types of industrial structures, their
Design-Build Construction for Industrial Structures: A Comprehensive Overview
When it comes to industrial structures, opting for a design-build construction approach can be a game-changer. Whether constructing large industrial steel structures, pre-engineered metal buildings, or operations and maintenance buildings in remote locations, the design-build model provides a streamlined process that ensures quality and safety. Here’s an in-depth look at the essential aspects
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of industrial structures does MBA deliver?
We design and build data center support facilities, renewable energy structures, O&M buildings, pre-engineered metal buildings and tilt-wall, hydrogen and carbon capture support buildings, control rooms, admin buildings, blast-resistant buildings, crude oil engineering facilities, pump/metering, transloading/scale houses, logistics/LTL, terminals, and chemical storage.
How is design-build different from design-bid-build?
Design-build places design, engineering, procurement, and construction under a single contract and team. That reduces handoffs, compresses schedules, and improves cost control compared to managing separate designers and contractors.
Do you operate nationwide?
Yes. We maintain active licensure in more than 42 states and routinely coordinate with local AHJs and utilities to meet state and municipal requirements.
Can you work in remote or active facilities?
Yes. We regularly deliver projects in remote locations and live operational environments. Our planning accounts for logistics, safety, access, and minimizing downtime.
What building systems do you work with?
We deliver steel structures, pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB), tilt-wall systems, and specialized enclosures for process-critical equipment.
How do you maintain budget control?
We establish clear scopes early, identify alternates, procure long-lead items proactively, and maintain transparent change management. Value engineering is continuous—from concept through buyout.
Do you handle permitting and code compliance?
We coordinate with authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) and support permitting, submittals, and inspections. Our designs align with applicable building, fire, electrical, and life-safety codes for your location and use.
What is a typical project timeline?
Timelines vary by size, complexity, and long-lead equipment. Our design-build approach starts early on procurement and sequencing to shorten the overall critical path and protect key milestones.
Do you provide commissioning and closeout support?
Yes. We provide start-up coordination, testing, training, O&M manuals, and as-built documentation to ensure a clean handoff and operational readiness.
What safety practices do you follow?
Safety is integrated into design and daily site activities. We plan the work, assess risk, conduct routine checks, and hold our teams and subs to the same standards across every site.
Do you build blast-resistant buildings?
Yes. We deliver blast-resistant and high-performance structures for process environments where personnel protection and asset resilience are critical.
Can you accommodate future expansion?
We can plan for growth by designing structural capacity, utility pathways, and site layouts that allow for phased expansion with minimal disruption.
Do you support sustainability goals?
Yes. We can incorporate energy efficiency, durability, and material strategies aligned with your sustainability and resilience targets. If third-party certification is a goal, we coordinate requirements within the design-build plan.
What information do you need to get started?
Site location, intended use, target schedule, budget range, any known standards (owner or industry), and preferred building systems. From there, we can validate feasibility and outline a phased plan.
