New Mexico Metal Buildings
Key Regulation & Code Considerations
Are metal buildings right for you? Before you make a decision, there are a few New Mexico-specific regulations that you’ll need to consider. Prefabricated metal buildings must adhere to energy codes before construction can begin. Though some codes vary by location, duct insulation, sealing, and infiltration control are universal.
Currently, New Mexico buildings are subject to 2009 IECC regulations. IECC codes are zone-specific.
- Zone 3B: Includes Eddy, Dona Ana, and Otero counties
- Zone 4B: Includes Bernalillo, Valencia, and Cibola counties
- Zone 5B: Includes Santa Fe, Los Alamos, and Taos counties

Why Metal Buildings in New Mexico?
New Mexico’s landscape and climate are unique and vary dramatically from one area of the state to another. The northernmost part of the state is mountainous, wooded, and temperate, while the southernmost part of the state is covered in hot, flat desert. This variation poses a challenge for building and construction projects. Unlike more traditional building types, metal erected buildings are ideal for a variety of locations.

New Mexico’s Popular Metal Building Types
Metal buildings are highly adaptable and well-suited for use in the state’s top industries.
- Agriculture: Prefab metal buildings like barndominiums are an ideal way to keep livestock safe from harsh conditions.
- Commercial & Retail: Thanks to their potential for customization, metal buildings are often used for various commercial and retail spaces. Buildings such as warehouses and storage facilities can be erected in days and will last for decades.
- Industrial: When working with large quantities of volatile chemicals, safety is a top priority. Pre-engineered metal buildings are corrosion and fire-resistant, making them a top choice for hazmat storage.
- Residential: Energy-efficient metal homes are an increasingly popular alternative to traditional housing structures. Metal building designs eliminate heat absorption and keep buildings cool, even in the sweltering New Mexico sun. Metal building materials are great in the winter, too– their amazing insulation capacity keeps heat in and cold out.
