Website and PEMB Tools Coming Soon
Thanks for stopping by. I'm Tim Dodge, and I've been working in the pre-engineered metal building industry for going on 2 decades now. I’m putting together this site to share free plans, useful tools, and what I’ve learned working in pre-engineered metal buildings. It’s under construction, but you can reach me now to talk about your project - my contact details are at the bottom of this page.
Plans, tools, and project support.
Here’s what I’m planning for metalbuildings.pro.
Free architectural plans
Free plans for barndominiums, shop-houses, ADUs, and other metal building projects.
Free site plan generator
Permitting a metal building is typically pretty straightforward, but the site plan is one part that commonly trips up DIY builders. The technology and tools already exist to automate much of the process. They just need to be brought together in a way that’s easy to use, even if you’ve never prepared a site plan before. I’m building that service and plan to offer it here free of charge.
PEMB consultation
I can help you plan and work through your pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) project.
- Pricing and design, including material manufacturing, structural and foundation engineering, delivery and unloading, and installation.
- Project rescue
- Feasibility studies
- Project management and coordination
Builder network
A directory of vetted industry professionals, including installation and foundation contractors, licensed architects, independent engineers, and professional project managers experienced in PEMB.
Let’s talk about your project.
I’ve worked with Great Western Building Systems since its original launch in 2016, both as an employee and as a third-party dealer of their buildings. I’m proud to currently serve as a full-time building consultant for GWB. I’d welcome the opportunity to help you get your project across the finish line, whatever stage you’re at.
