SteelPoint Construction Inc. designs and erects commercial steel-frame buildings, pre-engineered metal structures, and facility renovations for owners across the Charlotte metro and the greater Carolinas.
Headquartered in Matthews, North Carolina, SteelPoint Construction Inc. is a design-build contractor focused exclusively on commercial steel-frame and pre-engineered metal building systems. We serve manufacturers, logistics operators, healthcare groups, and institutional clients who need durable structures delivered on aggressive schedules.
Our in-house estimating, detailing, and field erection teams work as a single unit — eliminating the coordination gaps that plague multi-vendor steel projects. From initial concept through certificate of occupancy, one accountable partner manages every connection, weld, and inspection.
"We don't just erect steel — we engineer certainty into every beam, bolt, and building envelope."
From warehouse distribution centers to medical office expansions, SteelPoint delivers the structural backbone and building envelope your operation demands.
Core Service

Learn moreBeyond standard PEMB delivery, SteelPoint maintains the technical bench depth to handle complex structural challenges in active commercial environments.
Licensed professional engineers on staff perform load analysis, connection design, and value engineering on every project. We optimize member sizes, reduce tonnage, and maintain code compliance across IBC, ASCE 7, and AISC 360.
We partner with AISC-certified fabricators across the Southeast while maintaining in-house detailing capability for schedule-critical packages. Every connection is modeled in 3D before a single beam leaves the shop floor.
Our union and open-shop erection crews bring decades of combined experience to every lift plan. We self-perform steel erection on the majority of projects, maintaining direct control over safety, quality, and schedule.
Steel is only half the equation. SteelPoint integrates insulated metal panels, standing-seam roofing, curtain wall interfaces, and weatherproofing details to deliver weathertight, energy-compliant envelopes.
Structural steel and building systems must coexist without conflict. Our pre-construction BIM clash-detection process resolves routing conflicts before they become field change orders.
A proven five-phase methodology that keeps steel projects on budget, on schedule, and inspection-ready at every milestone.
Site evaluation, program requirements, preliminary budgeting, and schedule benchmarking against comparable builds.
Schematic design, structural calculations, PEMB or conventional steel selection, and permit-ready drawing sets.
Long-lead material ordering, shop drawing approval, fabrication monitoring, and sequenced delivery to site.
Steel erection, decking, IMP/roofing install, MEP rough-in coordination, and weatherproofing milestones.
Final inspections, O&M manuals, as-built documentation, warranty registration, and owner training.
SteelPoint has delivered structures across diverse market segments throughout North and South Carolina.
Production facilities, crane bays, clean rooms, and process-area expansions with heavy floor loading.
Cross-dock terminals, e-commerce fulfillment centers, and cold-chain warehouses up to 1M+ SF.
Medical office buildings, outpatient surgery centers, and hospital additions with vibration-sensitive design.
Strip centers, big-box retail, and podium-style mixed-use with steel-over-concrete construction.
K-12 additions, university lab buildings, and municipal facilities with enhanced durability specs.
Dealership showrooms, service bays, fleet maintenance facilities, and EV charging canopy structures.
Light industrial tech campuses, data-center shells, and lab-fit building infrastructure.
Multi-story and single-story self-storage facilities with climate-controlled conversion options.
Representative work across the Charlotte metro, Piedmont Triad, and Upstate South Carolina.
Concord, NC
Design-build pre-engineered metal building with 32-foot clear height, 148 dock positions, and ESFR sprinkler throughout. Delivered 11 weeks ahead of owner occupancy deadline.
Matthews, NC
Three-story structural steel medical office with moment-frame lateral system, composite floor decks, and curtain wall envelope. Completed while adjacent clinic remained fully operational.
Charlotte, NC
Structural steel mezzanine addition, 20-ton overhead crane runway extension, and dock reconfiguration within an active production facility. Phased construction maintained 80% production capacity.
Greenville, SC
Three-story self-storage conversion with climate-controlled units, elevator core, and IMP exterior. Value-engineered PEMB system reduced structural cost 18% versus conventional steel.
Gastonia, NC
Four-building industrial flex campus with shared truck court, structural steel framing, and speculative shell delivery. Pre-leasing reached 72% at certificate of occupancy.
Rock Hill, SC
Structural column relocation, new storefront steel framing, and roof diaphragm reinforcement for a multi-tenant retail repositioning. Completed during tenant rollover with zero lease interruptions.
General contractors subcontract steel. We live it — every day, on every project, from the first RFI to the final bolt inspection.
Design, engineering, fabrication coordination, erection, and envelope — one contract, one project manager, one phone call.
Parallel-track delivery routinely saves 6–10 weeks. Our erection crews work multi-shift when occupancy dates demand it.
Line-item estimates with steel tonnage, fabrication, erection, and envelope broken out — no hidden markups or scope gaps at bid time.
Renovations and expansions sequenced around your operations. Dust control, noise mitigation, and phased access plans are standard.
Self-performing erection with owned and leased equipment ensures we control lift schedules — not third-party crane brokers.
Every SteelPoint crew member completes OSHA 30-hour training before setting foot on a job site. Our safety program exceeds industry benchmarks — because structural steel erection demands nothing less.
SteelPoint delivered our 400,000 SF distribution center eleven weeks early. Their erection crew ran double shifts without a single safety incident. That's the standard we expect — and they exceeded it.
The medical pavilion expansion was our most complex structural project in a decade. SteelPoint coordinated every connection detail with our architect and kept the adjacent clinic running without interruption.
We chose SteelPoint for their PEMB expertise and transparent estimating. The value engineering on our self-storage project saved us $1.2M against the original conventional steel budget.
From contract signing to certificate of occupancy, a standard PEMB project ranges from 6 to 14 months depending on size, site conditions, and permitting jurisdiction. Our parallel-track approach — overlapping foundation work with steel fabrication — typically compresses this by 6–10 weeks compared to sequential delivery.
Yes. While our headquarters is in Matthews, NC, we actively serve the entire Piedmont region, coastal Carolina markets, and Upstate South Carolina. Projects beyond a 150-mile radius are evaluated on a case-by-case basis depending on scope and schedule.
Occupied-building construction is a core competency. We develop phased access plans, dust and noise mitigation protocols, and weekend or off-hours work schedules to maintain your operations at 70–90% capacity throughout the construction period.
We offer design-build (single contract), design-assist (collaborative design with your architect), construction management at-risk, and hard-bid general contracting. Design-build is our recommended approach for schedule-critical steel projects.
We lock fabrication pricing at contract signing through our AISC-certified fabricator network. Escalation clauses are transparent and capped — you'll never face an open-ended material surcharge. Early procurement of long-lead items is standard on projects exceeding six months.
