Designing and Constructing Beautiful Steel Buildings Since 1996
With PWS, “Beautiful” and “Steel Buildings” are not a contradiction
When PWS (Protective Weather Structures) launched its steel building manufacturing and construction business in 1996, it brought an appealing and adaptable solution to California’s steel building market. Since then, we have been committed to designing and constructing visually appealing steel buildings that exceed every customer’s expectations.
Based in beautiful San Luis Obispo, California, Protective Weather Structures Inc. (PWS) brings an attractive and flexible solution to the California steel building market. With PWS, the words “beautiful” and “steel buildings” are not a contradiction. We are a design-build contractor with ample experience with all kinds of materials and industries. Our goal is to design and construct buildings on spec, on budget, and on time.
Our Goals
1. Assist Every Customer in Achieving Their Goals
PWS’s success is directly linked to our customers’ complete satisfaction. This is achieved by constructing a better building, collaborating closely with our customers throughout the project, and ensuring the project is aligned with the customer’s objectives. That is why our customers love PWS!
2. Provide a Better Alternative to Standard Buildings
PWS is not a typical prefabricated steel building manufacturer that provides the same basic building to every client with a “that’s not my job” attitude. We believe that every part of the building process is our responsibility, and we are dedicated to getting all of it done right.
We select strong, durable materials for superior design, durability and functionality. Our unique, 4-step building process also sets us apart from other construction methods and manufacturers.
3. Remove the Middleman
At PWS, we provide design, coordination, engineering and construction services all in one package with one point of contact. We are responsive and responsible. PWS also works with civil engineers and architects, and other trades and services are available if needed.

Standard Red Iron Steel Construction
Red Iron Buildings are heavy are vastly overbuilt for most needs. You pay for the big iron and its huge and you end up with a building that’s very inflexible in use.
Traditional Wood/Stick built Buildings
Also better known as a Wooden Barns or buildings. The building process requires multiple contractors & material variations, making these buildings highly customizable, and highly expensive. A comparable, customized PWS steel building is more cost effective and efficient.
