What You Get With a Ludwig Steel Building

A steel building should be more than a kit of parts. It should be a complete solution that fits how you operate. We engineer framing for the loads at your location, specify roof and wall systems that shed water cleanly, and plan openings for doors, windows, fans, and loading. You choose insulation levels to control heat and condensation, along with trim and finish profiles that match your brand. Every detail works together, which is why our buildings look consistent and install efficiently in the field.

Quality shows up in small ways that matter once the building is in service. Straight lines, true fits, and appropriately placed bracing save time during erection and reduce maintenance later while clear documentation helps your contractor proceed without guesswork, which helps you stay on schedule.

From Idea to Delivered Building

A clear process keeps projects moving. Here is how we work together from first call to site delivery. For straightforward projects that need a faster start, our pre-engineered options up to 80 by 100 feet can shorten the early steps.

1

Discovery and Budget Fit

We start with your goals, timeline, and site. Rough dimensions, door counts, and any special use needs help us shape a first pass.

2

Preliminary Design

Our team develops a layout, framing concept, and envelope approach. You review elevations and a scope outline so we can confirm direction.

3

Engineered Drawings

Once approved, we produce drawings engineered for your location and intended use. If your parish requires stamped documents, we coordinate that as part of the package.

4

Manufacturing

Materials are fabricated to the specifications in your drawings. Components are checked for fit and packaging to support an efficient install sequence.

5

Delivery Coordination

We schedule delivery to align with your site and contractor readiness. Clear labeling and packing reduce sorting time on the ground.

6

Construction Support

Your contractor receives responsive support during erection. If questions come up, you get answers quickly so the crew keeps moving.

Steel Buildings in Louisiana

Louisiana businesses choose steel for one reason above all others: it delivers strength and value in a climate that demands both. A well-planned steel building stands up to heat, humidity, and storm season while giving you the floor plan, clear spans, and finish options your work requires. Ludwig designs and manufactures each structure to match your site, your codes, and your budget. The result is a dependable building that looks sharp on day one and keeps working for years.

Our team in Harahan has supported projects across the state for decades. You get experienced guidance early, stamped drawings when needed, coordinated delivery, and responsive support through completion. If you want something fast and straightforward, we also offer pre-engineered buildings up to 80 by 100 feet that you can purchase directly from the manufacturer.

Popular Uses Across the State

Steel performs across many industries because it scales cleanly from small footprints to large clear-span spaces.

Common Louisiana applications include:

Aircraft hangars and aviation support buildings
Industrial and manufacturing facilities
Churches and worship spaces
Schools and education buildings
Offices and retail shells
Agricultural barns and equipment storage
Warehouses, logistics hubs, and cold storage shells
Automotive shops and showrooms
Self-storage complexes and mini-storage rows

If you do not see your use case listed, ask. The same engineering principles adapt to new layouts quickly.

Smart Options Louisiana Owners Choose

The right options improve comfort, durability, and operating cost without adding complexity including:

High-efficiency insulation with proper vapor control
Daylighting strategies using translucent panels placed for glare control
Ventilation packages that work in humid conditions
Snow and wind considerations tailored to your parish requirements
Liner panels in high-traffic interiors for cleanability
Framed openings prepped for future expansion
Gutters and downspouts sized for Gulf Coast rainfall

Pick what supports your use case, and skip what does not. That is how you keep value high.

Service Across Louisiana

Ludwig serves projects across the state, including New Orleans, Kenner, Slidell, Baton Rouge, Denham Springs, Hammond, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Alexandria, Monroe, Shreveport, Bossier City. If your project sits outside these cities, we are still close enough to help. Our Harahan location makes coordination and site visits practical from the coast to the northern parishes.

What Affects Price

Steel buildings are cost-effective, yet several choices drive the final price. Knowing them early helps you plan a clean budget:

Overall size, height, and clear-span requirements
Roof pitch, overhangs, and facade treatments
Number and size of overhead doors, service doors, and windows
Design loads for wind, collateral, snow, and hung equipment
Insulation type and R-values for roof and walls
Mezzanines, interior partitions, and crane or hoist provisions
Site logistics, access, and delivery phasing
Finish choices for panels and trim

We walk you through each item so you can decide where to invest and where to keep it simple.

Coordination With Codes and Permitting

Local requirements vary by parish and use. We design to the applicable codes for your site and help your team anticipate what your local authority will ask for. Clear drawings, load data, and material specifications make submittals smoother. Your contractor will still manage the permit, yet our documentation supports a straightforward review.

Why Louisiana Owners Choose Ludwig

Experience shortens learning curves, and that shows up in your schedule. We have shipped thousands of buildings and refined our process so you get consistent quality. You also get a team that answers the phone and follows through. That combination of engineering depth and steady service is why many architects, contractors, and owners call us first when steel is the right answer.
