About Brazos Metal Buildings

Our Story

For over 25+ years, Brazos Metal Building Systems has been a cornerstone of the Hood, Erath, and Palo Pinto county communities. Founded in 1999 by Tony Smith, our family-owned business was built on a simple promise: deliver quality metal buildings at honest prices with genuine Texas hospitality.

From custom shops and barns to arenas, carports, and RV covers, every kit we supply reflects our commitment to quality and our customers' vision. We're not a big-box corporation — we're your neighbors, and we take pride in every order we fill.

Supplier & Builder Referral Network

Brazos Metal supplies complete kits and components for customers who want to build themselves, hire their own crew, or be connected to a trusted builder from our local referral network.

We specialize in providing building kits, structural steel, panels, and components to contractors, ranchers, and property owners across central Texas. We focus on supplying top-quality materials and recommending experienced builders — not performing construction or installs.

Every building is engineered and constructed to withstand Texas weather and stand the test of time.

Honesty

Straightforward communication, transparent pricing, and no hidden surprises. Ever.

Fair Pricing

Competitive prices without cutting corners. You get exactly what you pay for — and then some.

Family

We treat every customer like family. Your project is personal to us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you build.

Most projects are completed in 2–6 weeks from the time materials arrive on site. Lead times for materials typically run 4–8 weeks depending on size and customization. We’ll give you a firm timeline when you request your quote.
Permit requirements vary by county and municipality. Most of our service area — including Hood, Erath, and Parker counties — requires a building permit for structures over a certain size. We can provide engineer-stamped plans to support your permit application; check with your local building department for exact requirements.
Our steel components are backed by manufacturer warranties on framing and panels, and we stand behind the quality of every kit we supply. Ask your sales representative for the specific warranty terms on your building’s materials.
Yes — every Brazos kit is custom-sized to your specifications. Choose your dimensions, frame type, steel gauge, panel and trim colors, door and window placement, and add-ons like insulation or skylights.
We use 14-gauge or better steel framing and 26-gauge steel panels as our standard, with heavier gauge options available for larger spans or higher wind and snow load ratings.
No — Brazos Metal Building Systems supplies building kits and components only. We can refer you to trusted local site prep and concrete contractors as part of our builder referral network.
