An Industrial Building with Room to Work
SMS Holding Company LLC developed this Bakersfield property as a tenant-leased commercial and industrial building.
The property serves Tek Star, an oil and gas equipment supplier. The building configuration combines an open interior with multiple large access points for vehicles and equipment.
Northern State Steel supplied and erected the metal building, coordinating the steel package and its supporting engineering documentation with the project team.

Building Supply, Coordination and Erection
Building Package
NSS supplied the pre-engineered steel building package, including primary and secondary framing, roof and wall panels, specified openings and accessories.
Project Coordination
NSS coordinated building-specific sealed drawings and calculations through its engineering provider, along with detailing, fabrication and delivery requirements.
Delivery and Erection
The project included delivery coordination and a separate labor-and-equipment erection scope that included unloading and erection of the steel building.

Working Through Project Requirements
During Kern County’s plan review, Northern State Steel coordinated responses with the project’s engineering and design professionals.
The documentation clarified seismic design information and the relationship between the metal building and independently designed mezzanine and canopy construction.
NSS transmitted revised sealed drawings, engineering response documentation and fabrication-shop certification as part of that coordination.
Configured for Industrial Use
The 80-foot-wide rigid-frame building has no intermediate interior support columns. Four 12′ × 14′ roll-up doors provide equipment access, with two openings on each sidewall.
Insulation, translucent roof panels and continuous roof vents are part of the building package. Charcoal Gray wall panels and Cobalt Blue trim and fascia give the exterior a distinctive commercial appearance.
The 24-foot dimension is the eave height. Interior clearances vary beneath the tapered columns and roof framing.
