CASE STUDY
Roseville Retail Expansion
A 29,520-square-foot retail expansion delivered through Fabri-Steel West’s full-service design-assist, pre-engineered metal building supply, and installation expertise.
Project Overview
Green Acres Nursery & Supply expanded its Roseville, California retail campus with a 29,520-square-foot commercial retail facility designed to support continued growth while preserving the agricultural character that defines the brand.
Fabri-Steel West partnered with the architect, general contractor, and project team from the earliest stages of design to integrate a pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) system that balanced architectural aesthetics with structural efficiency. From concept design and planning through permitting, material supply, and installation, our team helped deliver a durable retail facility built for long-term performance.

THE CHALLENGE
Balancing Growth with Brand Identity
Green Acres Nursery & Supply needed to expand its Roseville retail campus with a 29,520-square-foot commercial retail facility while preserving the agricultural character customers know and expect. The project required a building system that could support long-term operational performance without compromising architectural design.
Working within an active retail environment also meant coordinating closely with the architect, general contractor, and project team to integrate a pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) system that met both structural and aesthetic requirements.
Key project considerations included:
- Preserving Green Acres’ agricultural-inspired architectural identity
- Integrating a pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) system into the design
- Creating an open retail environment with a clear-span structural system
- Delivering long-term durability and energy-efficient building performance
DESIGN & ENGINEERING
Successful commercial retail projects begin with thoughtful coordination between the architect, general contractor, engineers, and specialty building partners. Early collaboration allowed the project team to integrate the pre-engineered metal building system into the architectural vision while maintaining construction efficiency and long-term performance.
One of the project’s defining structural features is the articulated raised center aisle, engineered to eliminate interior support columns and create an open retail environment. Combined with an insulated metal panel (IMP) roof system, the finished building delivers both architectural character and energy-efficient performance.

TESTIMONIALS
“John and his team were instrumental in the success of the Green Acres project. The retail building was big part of my critical path schedule. John and his team provided safe, qualified, and skilled erectors to get the building up and turned over for our client. They were collaborative in their efforts even before having boots on the ground to ensure our footing layout and bolt patterns were correct, as well as MEP coordination. Their timely install enabled us to start other trades ahead of schedule. When there were no details provided for the green house and lath house tranisitions, Fabri-Steel West came to the table with solutions which kept the job moving, and our client happy.”
