Metal America delivers affordable, American-made barndominiums built with steel strength and completed in as little as 9 to 12 months to help solve the nation’s housing shortage.
As the Federal Reserve announced a quarter-point rate cut to encourage economic growth, Metal America is emerging as a leading solution to the nation’s severe housing shortage. Based in Austin, Texas, and founded in 2024, the company has rapidly expanded across the United States through its innovative barndominium construction program. Each Metal America barndominium is built in 9 to 12 months, offering families affordable, high-quality homes at a fraction of traditional construction timelines.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell recently noted, “A lot of places in the country just don’t have enough housing for people.” That shortage underscores the urgency of fast, efficient building models. Colin Knutson, founder of Metal America, explained, “Lower rates help with borrowing costs, but the real solution is to build more homes faster. Our barndominium program delivers that speed without sacrificing quality.”
Experts estimate the United States needs to construct at least 125,000 new homes every month for the next decade to meet demand. Current output remains closer to 114,000. Metal America’s streamlined approach helps bridge this gap. Each Metal America barndominium is constructed using 100% American-made steel, supporting U.S. manufacturing and avoiding the supply chain problems that have slowed traditional builders.
By producing durable and energy-efficient barndominiums on accelerated timelines, Metal America provides a stable path toward expanding housing availability nationwide. Industry analyst Chase Fingerson observed, “Rate cuts alone don’t create new homes. Builders like Metal America that can complete barndominiums in under a year are essential to meeting national housing needs.”
The combination of lower interest rates and Metal America’s construction model opens the door for more Americans to own property. Each barndominium project delivers strong value through shorter build times and reduced per-square-foot costs. Buyers benefit from quicker move-ins and more predictable pricing while enjoying the strength and longevity of steel-based structures.
With operations extending across the continental United States, Metal America provides a consistent, nationwide service model that brings affordable housing within reach for families and communities struggling with limited inventory.
Metal America’s growth has been remarkable. The company has expanded its workforce to more than 100 employees in less than a year, reflecting rising demand for its steel-built barndominiums. Its “Speedy. Simple. Service.” mission defines every project—from concept to completion—making homeownership faster and more accessible for Americans from coast to coast.
As borrowing costs decline and confidence in the housing market strengthens, Metal America stands ready to deliver what the nation needs most: affordable, American-built barndominiums constructed with precision, speed, and lasting quality.
