Metal Building Manufacturer Sun Prairie WI | Design, Fabrication & Installation
For more than 30 years, Foremost Buildings has served Sun Prairie and the greater Dane County area with quality custom metal buildings. We handle everything from the first sketch to the final bolt. Our 150,000 sq ft Wisconsin facility produces all components using American steel, and our crews install what we build.
Sun Prairie businesses need reliable structures. Whether it’s commercial steel buildings for your retail operation, industrial metal buildings for production work, or agricultural metal buildings for farming needs, we take care of the entire job. You work with one company from start to finish.
What We Do for Sun Prairie Clients
Most companies either make buildings or put them up. We do both. This means better coordination, faster timelines, and one point of contact for your Sun Prairie project.
Engineering Your Building
Our engineers design custom metal buildings that meet Sun Prairie codes and handle Wisconsin weather. You can use our 3D metal building design tool to see what your building will look like, or sit down with our team to plan something more complex.
We account for the snow your roof will see, the wind it needs to handle, and how Wisconsin temperatures swing through the year. Your building gets engineered for local conditions, not generic specs.
Making the Components
We build pre-engineered metal building systems at our Wisconsin plant. The steel comes from American mills. The frames, panels, and roof systems all get made to your exact measurements.
Our shop runs extra shifts when deadlines are tight. We control the schedule because we own the production line. That matters when your Sun Prairie project has a firm completion date.
Putting It Together
Most manufacturers stop at the loading dock. We keep going. Our erection services mean the same people who understand how the building was made are the ones putting it together on your site.
The crews know our pre-engineered metal building systems inside and out. They’ve installed hundreds of these buildings. Fast installation, done right, with no confusion about who’s responsible if something needs adjustment.You can also buy just the materials if you want to handle construction yourself. We support both approaches.
What These Buildings Cost
People ask about steel building costs all the time. Every project is different. Building size matters. Features matter. Site conditions matter. We quote two ways, materials only or complete installation, so you can choose what fits your budget.
Why Metal Buildings Make Sense:
- Lower upfront cost than traditional construction
- Faster to complete with our installation crews
- One company handles everything
- Less maintenance over the years
- Better energy efficiency with modern insulation
- Buildings last for decades
Why Sun Prairie Projects Choose Us
We Make It and Build It
Look for a metal building company. Most will make the parts or install them. Few do both. We handle complete projects. That eliminates the coordination headaches between a supplier and a separate contractor.
One company means one responsibility. Questions get answered faster. Problems get solved quicker. Your Sun Prairie project moves smoother.
Full Control of Production
Our engineers design your building. Our shop fabricates the components. Our crews install it. This integration gives us control over quality, timeline, and cost at every stage.
When we need to modify something for your specific site conditions, we can do it quickly. We’re not waiting on outside suppliers or subcontractors.
American Steel Throughout
Every building uses 100% USA-made steel. We don’t mix in imported materials to cut costs. American steel means consistent quality and reliable supply. You know what you’re getting.
Proven Quality Systems
ISO certification backs up our quality claims. We follow documented procedures for engineering, manufacturing, and construction. Sun Prairie clients get consistent results because we use consistent processes.
Three Decades in Wisconsin
We’ve done over 1,000 projects nationwide. Many of those were right here in Wisconsin. We know Sun Prairie codes, Dane County requirements, and what works in this climate.
Our crews have worked in Wisconsin winters. They know the local building inspectors. Experience matters when timelines are tight and weather doesn’t cooperate.
Design Software That Actually Helps
Our 3D metal building design tool isn’t just marketing. It’s useful. Change dimensions. Pick colors. Add doors and windows. See your building and get preliminary pricing before you call us.
Straightforward Pricing
We’re the manufacturer and the builder. No markups from middlemen. Our quotes show material costs and labor costs separately. You see exactly what you’re paying for.
Serving the Sun Prairie Area
We work throughout Sun Prairie and nearby communities including Madison, DeForest, Cottage Grove, Marshall, Columbus, and Waunakee. Being Wisconsin-based means we understand local codes and building practices.
Dane County has specific requirements. Sun Prairie has its own building department. We know what they expect. That knowledge helps your permits move through faster.
Buildings for Sun Prairie’s Economy
Commercial Buildings
Sun Prairie’s business district keeps growing. Our commercial steel buildings work for retail shops, office space, storage facilities, and service businesses. We’ve done small buildings on Main Street and large warehouses on the edge of town.
The buildings look professional and function well. Clear interiors give you flexibility for layout. You’re not working around load-bearing walls that limit your options.
Industrial Facilities
Manufacturing companies around Sun Prairie use our industrial metal buildings for production space and equipment storage. These buildings handle heavy use. Reinforced floors take the weight. High bays accommodate cranes. Wide doors let equipment move in and out easily.
We’ve built facilities for metalworking shops, assembly operations, and distribution centers. The structures hold up under daily industrial use.
Farm Buildings
Dane County farms depend on our agricultural metal buildings for dairy barns, equipment sheds, and storage. Wisconsin weather is hard on buildings. Our agricultural structures use heavy-duty materials and proper engineering.
Large door openings fit modern farm equipment. Ventilation systems keep livestock comfortable. The buildings work for Wisconsin farming, not just generic agricultural use.
Government Projects
Municipalities around Sun Prairie choose us for maintenance facilities, equipment storage, and public buildings. We know how government purchasing works. Our quotes meet bid requirements. Our timelines match public sector schedules.
Design Phase
Start with our 3D metal building design software or call to discuss your needs. We develop plans that meet Sun Prairie requirements and your budget. Our engineers stamp the drawings for your permit application.
Fabrication
Components get made at our facility. Computer-controlled equipment ensures accuracy. Welders follow certified procedures. Quality inspectors check everything before it ships.
Construction
We deliver to your Sun Prairie site. If you choose our installation package, our crews build it. If you’re handling construction, we provide complete support and documentation.
Completion
Whether we install it or you do, we make sure it meets specs. Technical support continues after installation if you need assistance.

We’re a metal building manufacturer that also does construction. Buy materials and install yourself, or get turnkey installation. Your choice based on your Sun Prairie project needs.
- Do you install the buildings you make?
Yes. Our crews install our buildings. They’re trained on our pre-engineered metal building systems. Full installation available or materials-only supply.
- Will these buildings handle Wisconsin weather?
Absolutely. Engineering accounts for heavy snow (up to 50 psf), wind loads, and temperature swings from -20°F to 95°F. We design for Wisconsin, not mild climates.
- How long before my building is ready?
Manufacturing takes 4-8 weeks usually. Installation time depends on building size. Small buildings go up in days. Large facilities take weeks. Your quote includes specific timelines.
- Can I change the design to fit my needs?
Yes. We build custom metal buildings with many options. Size, roof style, doors, windows, colors, insulation levels, interior layout. Try our 3D metal building design tool to see possibilities.
- What makes you different from other companies?
We both manufacture pre-engineered metal buildings and provide construction services. That’s unusual. Most companies do one or the other. Doing both gives you better project control.
