Shops & Garages — Mountain West
Built for what you actually
use it for.
Clear-span interiors up to 80 ft. Reinforced concrete floors. Oversized doors sized to your equipment. Post-frame construction engineered for Mountain West wind and snow loads.
Why Bridger
Your equipment doesn't fit in a catalog building.
Every shop we build is engineered to your specs — your door sizes, your equipment clearance, your county's wind and snow loads. Materials sourced direct through exclusive supplier partnerships. One crew from concrete to keys. No middleman. No runaround.
Our Work
Shops built to work in. Not to look at.
What You Get
Every build comes standard
Steel Roofing & Siding
26-gauge steel in 45+ colors. Direct-sourced through exclusive supplier partnerships — no middleman, no markup on materials.
Engineered Trusses
Custom-engineered for your county’s snow load (60+ psf) and wind load (120+ mph) requirements. Stamped plans from a licensed PE.
Laminated Columns
Structural columns sized to your building’s span and load. Spec-matched to your exact floor plan — no generic sizing.
Oversized Door Options
Standard residential up to 16x16 commercial overhead doors. We size doors to fit your equipment — tractors, trailers, RVs, whatever needs to roll through.
Reinforced Concrete
Poured and finished concrete floors rated for heavy equipment, loaded trailers, and shop use. Thickness and reinforcement matched to your loads.
Custom Electrical Layout
220V circuits, sub-panels, welding outlets, and compressor hookups placed where you actually need them. Coordinated with licensed local electricians.
Insulation Options
Spray foam or batt insulation for year-round use. Reduces condensation on steel interiors and keeps the shop workable in Mountain West winters.

Common questions
Post-frame construction is extremely flexible on sizing. We build everything from standard two-car garages to large clear-span shops. Your land, local codes, and how you plan to use the space determine the right size. We’ll walk through options during your consultation.
It depends on soil conditions, building size, and intended use. A shop storing heavy equipment has different foundation needs than a hobby garage. We assess your site and recommend the right approach.
Yes. Lofts are popular for extra storage, an office, or additional workspace above the main floor.
We accommodate a wide range from standard residential to large commercial overhead doors. If you know what vehicles or equipment need to fit through, we’ll size the doors accordingly.
Yes. We offer insulation options that keep your workspace comfortable in the Mountain West’s temperature extremes. The right insulation also reduces condensation on the steel interior.
Yes. A shop with living quarters — sometimes called a ‘shouse’ — is one of our most popular configurations. The structure is designed to accommodate residential finishing by local trades.
In most jurisdictions, yes. Permit requirements vary by county and sometimes by the size of the structure. We help guide you through the permitting process as part of the project.
