Custom Projects — OKC Metro
The project nobody else wants to quote.
Additions, outbuildings, hybrid steel-and-wood builds, and the ideas that do not fit a category. BKG design-builds custom projects across the Oklahoma City metro — one team from sketch to walkthrough.
We respond to every quote request within one business day.
The straight story
One builder owns the whole scope.
Some projects do not fit a box on a contractor’s website. An addition that ties a new steel shop into an existing brick house. A pool house that has to match a 1970s ranch. A detached office at the back of the lot. Those are the projects where "no guesswork" stops being a tagline and starts being the job.
Design-build means the people pricing your project are the people building it. We take a custom project from rough idea to drawings to a fixed, line-item scope — structure, envelope, mechanicals, finish — with the hard conversations up front, where they are cheap, instead of mid-build, where they are not.
If your idea has a structural answer, we will find it. If it does not, we tell you before you have spent real money finding out. Either way, you get a straight answer, in writing.
What’s covered
The scope, in plain terms.
No mystery line items. This is the work, named the way we name it on site and in your contract.
Home additions
Bedrooms, in-law suites, and expansions tied into the existing structure, roofline, and mechanicals — so the addition never reads as an afterthought.
Garages and outbuildings
Detached garages, pool houses, studios, and backyard offices built to the same standard as the main house.
Hybrid structures
Builds that mix red iron and conventional framing: shop-house combos, covered outdoor kitchens, additions that bridge steel and wood.
Design-build under one roof
Sketch to permit-ready drawings to construction with one team — no handoff between a designer who is gone and a builder who did not draw it.
Structural problem-solving
Long spans, odd lots, slopes, tie-ins to old construction. The tricky part is usually the reason we got the call.
Fixed line-item scope
A custom project without a written scope is a blank check. Ours is priced line by line and signed before anyone mobilizes.
Deliverables
What’s in a BKG quote.
Every quote is written line by line, so you can read the scope before you sign it — and hold us to it after.

Good questions
Asked about custom projects.
The same answers we give across the kitchen table — no hedging, no fine print.
See every questionWhat counts as a custom project?
Anything that does not fit cleanly under barndominiums, metal buildings, or remodels. Additions, detached garages, pool houses, backyard offices, shop-house hybrids, rebuilds with structural repair attached. If other contractors would not even quote it, it is probably a custom project.
Do I need an architect before I call you?
No. Design-build means we handle drawings in-house and bring in an engineer when the structure calls for one. If you already have plans, we build from them — after we have reviewed them and flagged anything that will not survive contact with your actual site.
How do you price something that is one of a kind?
The same way we price everything: scope first, number second. We break the project into concrete line items — dirt, foundation, structure, envelope, mechanicals, finish — and price each one. Anything that cannot be known yet is named as an allowance or a risk, in writing, so the first version of the truth is never a mid-project invoice.
Can you take over a stalled or half-finished project?
Sometimes. It depends on what is there, whether it was built to code, and whether the existing work is something we can stand behind. We inspect it and give you a straight answer — including "walk away" if that is the honest one.
My project mixes steel and conventional framing. Is that a problem?
No — it is a specialty. Barndominiums are exactly that hybrid, and the tie-in details between red iron and wood framing are where most builders get into trouble. We detail those connections on paper before they get built in the field.
Have a project nobody wants to quote?
Describe it. We walk the site, tell you if it is buildable, and put a free line-item quote in your hands — with straight answers about the hard parts.
