Metal Shops

A shop is a work surface first and a building second.

In the Permian Basin a shop is where trucks get serviced, equipment gets repaired, and parts get fabricated. The floor has to take the loads, the doors have to clear the biggest thing that rolls in, and the building has to hold up to daily use without becoming its own maintenance project.

Apex comes out of the oilfield and builds commercial and industrial work across West Texas. On a metal shop that means the site, the slab, and the steel are one scope under one contract with full liability, planned around the work that happens inside. Whether the job is a metal workshop building for fabrication or a steel shop building with drive-through service bays, it is built to the same commercial standard. That standard also applies to shops built on private land for owners who run a trade or keep equipment at home.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does Apex build metal shops in Midland?
Yes. Apex builds metal shop buildings for businesses and operations in Midland, Odessa, and across the Permian Basin. The site work, slab, steel, and finish are handled by one contractor under one contract with full liability.
How thick should a shop floor slab be?
It depends on what the floor carries. Vehicles, heavy equipment, lifts, and racking all put different loads on the slab. Apex sets the slab thickness and reinforcement from the shop’s actual use rather than a standard spec, and pours it as part of the same contract.
Can the shop include offices or a mezzanine?
Yes. Office space, restrooms, storage, and mezzanines can be built inside the shop and carried under the same contract. The interior layout is confirmed in the bid around how the business uses the building.
Does Apex build steel workshop buildings?
Yes. Apex builds steel and metal workshop buildings for welding, fabrication, equipment repair, and auto shop work. Each workshop is laid out around the bays, doors, and floor loads the work needs, and the slab and steel are carried under one contract.
Are there metal shop builders near me in Midland and Odessa?
Apex is a metal shop builder based in Midland, with crews and equipment local to Midland and Odessa. Apex builds metal shop buildings across the Permian Basin, including Big Spring, Andrews, Monahans, and Pecos, so mobilization stays short and the schedule stays tight.
What size doors and clear height does a shop need?
Door size and clear height come from the largest truck or piece of equipment that has to come inside, plus room to work on it. Apex confirms those during scope so the building is engineered around them rather than adjusted after.
Does Apex pour the slab and build the shop?
Yes. Apex self-performs site work and concrete, so the shop floor slab and foundation are poured by the same contractor that builds the shop. The slab, anchor bolts, and steel are planned together under one contract with full liability.
Does Apex build metal shops on private property?
Yes. Apex builds metal shops on private land for owners who run a trade, keep equipment, or need working space at home, to the same commercial standard as its business shops. Garages, carports, and sheds for a home are covered under Residential.
