Birdseye Construction builds metal buildings in Argyle, TX — shops, garages, barndominiums, RV storage, and equipment barns — under one fixed-price contract covering engineering, permitting, the shell, and interior finish-out. A 30x40x10 shell runs $95,000 to $115,000 installed; finished barndominiums run $215,000 to $365,000.
Building in Argyle
Argyle is a affluent acreage market where large lots, equestrian properties, and shop buildings are the norm. That combination — land, fewer deed restrictions than a subdivision, and owners who actually need working buildings — is why metal construction is common here and why we work in Argyle and the Denton County acreage corridor regularly.
What we build
- Shops and workshops — clear-span space with no interior posts, insulated or unconditioned.
- Barndominiums — shell and full residential finish-out under one contract.
- Detached garages — two-car through multi-bay with lifts and workbench walls.
- RV and equipment storage — tall-wall buildings sized around what has to fit inside.
- Equipment barns and covered storage for acreage and agricultural use.
- Shop with living quarters — living space and working space under one roof, properly separated.

Permitting around Argyle
Inside Argyle town limits, expect building permits and — for anything conditioned or plumbed — electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits. On unincorporated Denton and Tarrant county land nearby, requirements are lighter and focus on septic permitting, floodplain review, and driveway access, though engineered drawings remain standard practice for any structure.
Texas wind load requirements govern the frame design either way. Birdseye carries engineering and permitting inside the contract rather than handing you a set of drawings and a permit counter address.
Why a general contractor, not a shell erector
A steel building company sells and erects a building. Slab design, drainage, insulation strategy, electrical service, interior framing, and finish-out all have to be coordinated with the shell — and when the shell company and the finish contractor are different, those decisions get made in the wrong order and cost money to unwind. Birdseye designs the whole building, including what goes inside it, before the shell is ordered.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a metal building in Argyle, TX?
Inside town limits, yes — building permits, plus electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits for anything conditioned or plumbed. On unincorporated county land nearby the requirements are lighter but septic, floodplain, and access approvals still apply.
How much does a shop building cost in Argyle?
A 30x40 shop insulated and wired typically runs $50,000 to $75,000 installed. A bare unfinished garage-scale building starts around $30,000. Site work on raw acreage is separate and priced against the property.
Can you build a barndominium on acreage near Argyle?
Yes — that is most of our metal building work. A 30x40x10 shell runs $95,000 to $115,000, and interior finish-out with plumbing, electrical, and HVAC runs $120,000 to $250,000 depending on finish level.
What size shop should I build?
30x40 is the practical starting point for real shop space with room to work around equipment. 40x60 supports multiple bays and storage. Wall height matters as much as footprint — 14 to 16 feet if a lift or an RV is involved.
Do you handle site work, septic, and utilities?
We coordinate them as part of the project and price them against your actual property. Pad preparation, drainage, driveway and culvert, septic, water well or tap, and electrical service from the road are all site-specific rather than table-priced.
