Champions of Business: Championing Our Customers’ Goals
Worldwide Steel Buildings was recently honored by the Kansas City Business Journal as one of its 2018 Champions of Business. This annual program recognizes companies based in the Kansas City area that contribute to our community’s economic strength and quality of life.
We are particularly proud to be a Champion of Business because the qualities the selection panel looks for are the same thing we believe allow us to provide a great product and great service to our customers:
Innovation
Our commitment to create steel buildings customized to each customer’s exact needs drives us to constantly find new and innovative ways to deliver on that promise. This includes our 3D Building Designer tool, which we developed to help you design every aspect of your dream building before you order. It also includes our approach to designing and manufacturing our steel building kits for easy DIY assembly to streamline budget and timeline. And, it’s why we love working with our customers to make their unique building ideas a reality – you are part of our innovation team!
Strength and Stability
Just like our building kits, Worldwide Steel Buildings starts from a solid foundation. We own and operate our own manufacturing facility so we control every aspect of quality and fabrication to meet your expectations. We work hard and smart to ensure you are getting an outstanding value, backed by our 50-year warranty. Our focus on giving customers a great product and great service with great value has kept us going and growing for 35 years, so you can be sure we will be here when you need us.
Giving Back
Most importantly, we are committed to being a great place to work to help our employees and our community thrive. As our owner, Jeff Snell, told the Business Journal: “Having an enjoyable place to work is part of the culture, but on top of that, we want our employees to feel empowered to make decisions and make the right decisions based on the customer experience and pride in their work.”
We take great pride in being able to give back to our community through creating jobs and contributing to the local economy. Also, by using exclusively American-made steel, we are not only ensuring high quality of our steel buildings, but by serving our customers in a way that supports our country’s economy as well.
This recognition couldn’t have happened without our tremendous employees and without the support of you, our customers. Thank you for your trust and confidence in us – you are our “Champions of Business”!

Customize Your Dream Metal Building
A metal building is a smart and economical way to protect many of your valuables and increase your property’s value. Whether you are a small business looking for additional storage space, or an individual seeking to build that dream workshop or garage, a metal building can accommodate anything from an office, warehouse or the space to store all those important items you want to protect. Need a new mancave? How about a place to store extra vehicles or RV? A metal building can do all of that and more.
Many Options to Enhance Your Life
- Office
Steel buildings are far more advanced than you may think. Prefab steel buildings have windows, doors and stylish designs customized to your needs, so this makes them ideal for a home office. Instead of taking up home living space or having to rent an office, a prefab steel building can easily be built on your property. This gives you plenty of room for a comfortable office for both you and your clients. Ranging from small sheds 12’ wide to large clearspan buildings up to 100’ wide, you will be able to fit yourself and your growing business. Each Worldwide building is easy to add on to for future expansion.
- Workshop
A workshop can be very practical. It doesn’t matter if it’s for wood working, a place to work on your cars, or just a hobby, having a workshop grants you the safe space and storage you need to work on your craft. Not only is this convenient, it’s safe as well. With an entirely separate workshop you can safely store your project with your tools and any specialty items you use. Your workshop can be customized to match your home or be a stand alone with its own look.
- Garage
Whether you’re looking for a single car garage or a garage large enough to hold your car collection, a steel garage building goes up fast and easy with unmatched strength. With a prefab steel building you can easily customize your door placements and exterior look. A metal garage gives you the style and function you need and the strength to handle what mother nature throws at it. Build a steel framed garage and you will not only improve your property value, but also have peace of mind.
- Guest House
We all need that extra space in our home. What if you had the land to actually put an affordable guest house on your property? Do you have an elderly family member who needs a little more attention? What about a child who is old enough to need their own privacy? Are you avid entertainers and want a place your visitors can stay for the evening? A beautiful guest house can solve all of your problems.

Top 10 Dream Garage Ideas
Imagine transforming your garage space from a basic storage area into a stunning showpiece of your home. For many homeowners, the garage is simply a spot to park cars and store items, but it holds the potential to be so much more. Our Top 10 Dream Garage Ideas guide is here to spark your imagination and guide you through this exciting transformation.
What if your garage could reflect your unique style and interests? Think beyond a standard garage remodel. With Worldwide Steel Buildings, creating a luxury garage that goes beyond the ordinary is within reach. Whether you’re an enthusiast with a prized car collection or someone who appreciates the practicality of a car lift, our design ideas are tailored to meet your specific desires.
These dream garage ideas aren’t just about organizing space; they’re about reinventing it. Each concept is a step towards turning your garage into a multifunctional area. From aesthetic improvements to functional upgrades, every element contributes to realizing your dream garage.
As you explore these top 10 features, envision how they can elevate your garage remodel. This is your opportunity to transform a conventional garage into an extension of your home, perfectly suited to both homeowners and their passions.
1. Add Windows
Is your current garage dark, dreary, and depressing? Let the light in with a few windows. Adding windows, garage doors or skylights will make your home garage look custom and will offer awesome natural lighting.
2. Fix Up Your Flooring
A concrete floor may seem like the easy choice, but why not amp it up a bit with an epoxy floor? Adding an epoxy coating to your garage floor is an easy way to turn boring concrete into a work of art. These days, a floor coating is also durable, so you don’t need to worry about messing it up if you drop something heavy.
3. Wash Off with a Sink
What happens in the garage should stay in the garage! If you’re constantly tracking grease and grime into your living space, adding a sink with some garage cabinets underneath (to store soap and paper towels) can help contain the mess. The ability to wash up where you work will not only keep your garage interior a cleaner space, but your home as well.
4. Stock Up On Storage
The garage is the top place for clutter to accumulate, but the right garage storage can help. Take a look at an unused garage wall and measure it for built-in cabinetry, overhead storage, shelves, and hooks. See if you can add to this storage system with a freestanding storage unit for bulkier items. You’ll be impressed by how much better your storage space gets and how easily you can reach the things you use often, all while getting rid of the messy, piled-up junk.
5. Power Up with Electricity
If you’re not wired for electricity, you’re wasting tons of potential in your space. Most of the tools used for woodworking, fixing up classic cars, and generally facilitating a garage workshop need electricity. Add outlets in convenient spaces to expand the opportunity for future electrical needs. Not to mention, without electricity, you can’t have these awesome features below…
6. Turn It Up with Audio/Sound
Who says the garage can’t double as a man cave? Install a sound system and flat-screen television. Enjoy the big game with the boys, fix up your dream car, and make DIY jobs a breeze by streaming instructional videos, right in your workshop.
7. Lock It Down with Security
You’ve invested in some really cool stuff. Make sure you protect it! Don’t forget to incorporate a security system and install security sensors on your new garage doors and windows. If you want to further control who has the keys to your castle, consider adding a keypad lock to your door with your own personalized security code.
8. Workbench
A functional workbench is essential for any DIY enthusiast’s garage. It’s not just a workspace; it’s where your creative projects come to life. Strategically placing this workbench near your storage solution ensures tools are always within reach, enhancing both efficiency and organization. This setup transforms your garage into an inspiring workspace, perfect for any DIY project.
9. Lighting
Windows may improve natural lighting conditions, but some special projects (or those that keep your attention long after the sun has gone down) require special lighting. Add high-quality LED lighting overhead, and dimmers for more lighting options.
10. Keep Your Cool
Working on a project, or having your buddies over to enjoy your new digs, means you will need refreshments. Forget about trips back and forth to the kitchen! Install a refrigerator and keep your cold drinks right where they belong.

Common Complaints that Worldwide Steel Buildings Never Hear
After 30 years in the business of selling and manufacturing steel buildings, we’ve talked to a lot of people who were unhappy with products they bought from other dealers. There may be a lot of vendors out there, but you need to pick a steel building company who has the experience and professionalism to deliver a high-quality and affordable product. Otherwise, you may find yourself in the same position as the people who come to Worldwide Steel Buildings with complaints about the other guy. So you know what we mean, here are four of the most common complaints of steel building owners and how buying from Worldwide Steel Buildings steers you clear of those pitfalls.
Structures That Are Not Built to Last
At Worldwide Steel Buildings, the most common complaint we hear is that other dealers aren’t selling structures that are built to last. We take quality very seriously at Worldwide Steel Buildings and enshrine high-quality standards into each step of the process. Worldwide uses only American recycled steel and trusses are built on jig tables to maintain the same quality on every truss. Each truss is then inspected prior to being dipped in our rust inhibitor / primer tank.
We stand by the quality of our work vigorously. Worldwide Steel Buildings offers a 50-year structural warranty, far longer than the standard 1-2 year warranties offered by other steel building companies. Additionally, the premium sheet metal we use also offers a 40-year warranty, giving consumers a maintenance-free building with the durability to last a life time.
Paying Too Much
Another complaint we hear far too often is that other dealers overcharge customers for the quality of product they produce. At Worldwide Steel Buildings, we pride ourselves on being both high-quality and affordable. Because of our 30 years of experience and team of experts, Worldwide Steel Buildings is uniquely able to deliver long-lasting building packages at a truly affordable price. Our consultants work with our architects and engineers to put together the highest performance building package at the lowest cost; making our buildings the best value available. And we mean affordable to everyday consumers as well as businesses. Over the years, Worldwide Steel Buildings has provided economical solutions to hundreds of commercial, residential, agricultural and industrial applications.
Structures That Don’t Meet Local Requirements
When designing structures that must withstand the elements, cookie cutter solutions just won’t do. A building that would be structurally sound in one part of the country may not be in another. A structure built to withstand hurricane winds may not be built to withstand heavy loads of snows. It may even be a legal matter, so it’s important to find a manufacturer that’s experienced at navigating the various rules of each state and jurisdiction. All of the steel buildings Worldwide manufactures are designed to the required loads and codes for the location they are erected. We have buildings in all 50 states that have been designed for high winds or heavy snows. In nearly 30 years, we have never had a building fail do to structural design.
Structures that Don’t Meet Needs of Clients
A common complaint we hear from customers who first bought from other dealers is that the structure doesn’t fit their needs. This could be because the design had less usable space than they originally thought, there wasn’t a plan that suited their needs, or because their needs changed over time. These aren’t reasons for complaints when a customer buys a structure from Worldwide Steel Buildings. Every Worldwide building has 100 percent usable space clear to the peak. There are also many different modification options so the structures can be designed for any type of application. A second floor or loft storage can be added with a Worldwide-exclusive bar joist system. There’s a 14’ self-supporting overhang for additional roofed storage outside the building. And the building can grow with the needs of the user. All Worldwide Steel buildings offer an expandable end wall for future expansion.
When you buy from a qualified steel buildings company like Worldwide Steel Buildings, there’s no reason for complaints. From start to finish, we strive for high-quality, affordability, and accountability. To learn more about our products, warranties, or to get started, visit our contact page.
