Marion County seat
Metal buildings for Hamilton and the Buttahatchee River valley
Hamilton is the seat of Marion County, out in the northwest part of Alabama along Interstate 22. RBC Buildings serves a wide circle around Blountsville, and Hamilton falls near the edge of it.
We have one office, in Blountsville. We do not have an office in Hamilton.
A courthouse town where roads cross
Hamilton sits in the western valley of Marion County along the Buttahatchee River, and it covers about 38 square miles. Interstate 22 reaches the city with four exits, and U.S. Routes 43 and 278 meet downtown.[2]
Because several highways come together here, many properties in and around Hamilton are good candidates for commercial buildings such as shops, storage and service space. Outside town, larger lots can suit pole barns and equipment sheds. What fits depends on your site and your plans.[2]

What Hamilton property owners ask
General information. Every project is different, so call us about yours.
Does a highway town like Hamilton suit a commercial steel building?
Properties near busy routes are often considered for shops, offices and storage. A steel commercial building can be designed for the use you have in mind, and turnkey construction is available.[2]
Is Hamilton too far for RBC to serve?
What should I know before building inside the Hamilton city limits?
Can I use metal for a barn on land outside of Hamilton?
Yes, pole barns and agricultural buildings are common choices on rural land. Size and style depend on what you will store or house.[3]
Can metal roofing replace an older roof on a downtown building?
Metal roofing and siding can be used on existing buildings as well as new ones. An inspection and a conversation about your building would come first.[2]
