Steel buildings are a versatile, aesthetically-pleasing building solution for many industrial companies looking to expand operations. 

Metal buildings can be completely customized to suit nearly any industry's requirements. 

Through our family of companies, STEVENS offers comprehensive design and build services for Pre-Engineered Metal Building Kits.

Our company is committed to using only highly durable American-made steel in the metal buildings we erect.

We source our steel from Nucor, one of the most trusted manufacturers of highly durable and environmentally-friendly steel in America. We utilize Nucor's 90% recycled steel to benefit industrial operations from all sectors. 

Because Pre-Engineered buildings are highly versatile, they make an ideal solution for future expansions and can be easily customized for energy-efficiency.

If you choose to partner with STEVENS to perform full services for your building erection, you will benefit from cost-savings and quick and efficient erection.

We utilize BIM 3D modeling technology to enhance your customization opportunities and ensure you are confident in the final outcome of your building before construction begins.  

As one of the largest industrial construction companies in Chicago, we are equipped to complete metal building projects of any scale with impressive results. 

With a high level of commitment to safety and efficiency, STEVENS erects durable, top-quality steel structures to service a wide range of industrial purposes. Our metal erection expertise spans from raising gang on buildings to changing crane rails and beyond.

Our engineers and constructors work diligently to meet and exceed all industry standards for construction, including routine crane inspections, regular equipment checks, safety and quality control, and more. STEVENS' team of experienced ironworkers and operators have the know-how to complete steel erections on any scale without setbacks or safety violations.

STEVENS also provides advanced design and engineering services for engineered lifts. We complete these projects with CDMG, our wholly-owned engineering subsidiary.

After nearly 50 years of successful construction, STEVENS is proud to have a long-standing record of erecting metal structures on time and without incident.

Our comprehensive heavy rigging services always adhere to the highest possible standards for safety to ensure every project is completed safely, on-schedule, and according to our client's exact specifications.

From our 32,000 square foot, temperature-controlled fabrication shop, STEVENS can turn out 10,000LF of pipe each month, entirely in-house.

Because we own and operate a private pipe fabrication facility, we can accommodate unique project specifications at a reduced price and with minimal errors.

Before opening our fabrication facility, we found that our clients' projects were often delayed because of setbacks related to pipe quantities, specs, and delivery. 

STEVENS opened our private fabrication shop to cut back on communication errors, poor-quality product, and delayed delivery.
