Turnkey commercial steel construction engineered for Southwest Florida’s strictest coastal codes.

Hex Rock Climbing Gym was designed to be a premier recreational destination in Sarasota.
As a premier commercial metal building contractor in Southwest Florida, we utilize Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings (PEMBs) to deliver maximum square footage with minimal construction time. Steel construction is highly cost-effective and perfectly suited for Florida's intense environment, provided it is engineered correctly. We handle the entire turnkey process—from site preparation and heavy-duty slab pouring to the final steel erection and interior build-out.
When maximizing usable square footage is the priority, steel is the definitive answer. We build heavy-duty commercial warehouses engineered for intense logistical operations. This includes pouring high-PSI reinforced concrete slabs to support heavy machinery, designing massive clear-span interiors free of load-bearing columns, and integrating logistical necessities like loading docks and commercial-grade roll-up doors.
Indoor sports complexes, specialized gymnasiums, and large recreational centers require massive, unobstructed interior spaces. PEMB construction allows us to achieve incredibly wide clear-span widths that traditional wood or masonry framing simply cannot match. We also navigate the complex, high-capacity HVAC and mechanical ventilation systems required to efficiently climate-control these massive interior volumes.
Metal buildings do not have to look like basic industrial boxes. We construct commercial business centers and flex spaces that combine the rapid erection and structural integrity of steel with high-end exterior aesthetics. By integrating modern glass storefronts, custom masonry facades, and fully tailored interior office build-outs, we deliver professional, multi-use facilities ready to attract premium tenants.
Building commercial structures in Southwest Florida means building for extreme weather. Every steel facility we construct is rigorously engineered to meet or exceed strict Sarasota County wind-load requirements. From specialized foundational anchors to heavy-gauge steel framing, we ensure your commercial asset remains secure, compliant, and operational through the harshest coastal conditions.







Constructing a large-scale steel facility requires meticulous upfront engineering and precise site management. Unlike standard commercial framing, Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings (PEMBs) require exact foundational alignment before the first piece of steel ever arrives on site. When you partner with Holliday Group as your metal building contractor in Sarasota, our core team manages every phase of the project, ensuring your facility is erected quickly, safely, and exactly to spec.

The success of a steel building is decided before ground is broken. We handle the complex upfront engineering, ensuring the design meets Sarasota’s strict wind-load and coastal building codes. Once the architectural and mechanical plans are clash-free, we facilitate the procurement of the customized PEMB package, actively managing manufacturer lead times so your project schedule stays on track.

While the steel is being fabricated, our crews prep the site. We manage all land clearing, grading, and underground utility trenching. The most critical phase of a metal building is the foundation; we execute the high-PSI reinforced concrete slab pours and place the structural anchor bolts with millimeter precision, guaranteeing a flawless fit when the steel columns arrive.

Once the PEMB package is delivered, the structure goes up fast. Our dedicated Project Manager oversees the heavy machinery and specialized steel erection crews as they assemble the primary clear-span framing, install the secondary structural supports, and attach the heavy-gauge roof and wall panels. We move quickly to “dry in” the building and secure a weather-tight envelope.

A metal building is just a shell until the interior is finished. We transition immediately into the custom build-out, coordinating the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) trades to install high-bay lighting, commercial HVAC, and heavy-duty power systems. After framing and finishing any interior office spaces or storefront facades, we manage the final municipal inspections and hand over the keys to your operational facility.
