Locate Original Plans or Engineer New Ones for Your Existing Butler Building

If you own an older Butler building and need to reinstall, expand, permit or bring it up to code, we can help you recover the original engineering drawings from Butler’s archive records or create new certified reconstruction plans from the ground up. Whether your building was relocated, damaged, sold or simply never had documentation, our engineering team gives you a clear path forward.

Solving One of the Most Common Calls We Receive

Owners of older Butler buildings call us regularly with the same challenge. They have a structure they want to reinstall, sell, permit or modify and they have no engineering documentation to work with. Original drawings may have been lost, destroyed or simply never transferred when the building changed hands.

We initiate a formal paid search through our engineering archive records to locate original drawings for your building. This service is recommended as the first step for any owner seeking documentation for an existing Butler structure. A flat plan search fee applies regardless of outcome.

This service is available to building owners, contractors, municipalities and developers across all Butler building types and vintages.

Why Building Owners and Contractors Come to Us for Reconstruction Plans

A Dedicated Plan Search Through Our Engineering Archive Records

We search our engineering archive directly to locate original drawings for your building. This is a paid service that covers the time, coordination and review required to conduct a thorough search. If the originals are found you receive authenticated drawings that reflect the building as it was originally engineered and manufactured.

New Certified Plans When Originals Are Unavailable

If your original plans cannot be located we create new reconstruction plans from scratch. Our engineering team conducts a field assessment, documents existing conditions and produces a complete drawing set stamped by a licensed professional engineer. New plans are prepared to meet current local building codes and are suitable for permit submission, reinstallation and structural compliance.

PE-Stamped Drawings Ready for Permit Submission

All reconstruction plans we produce are reviewed and stamped by a licensed professional engineer. Whether you are submitting to a local building department, satisfying a lender requirement or preparing for reinstallation, our stamped drawings meet the documentation standard required by jurisdictions across the country.

As-Built Documentation for Modified or Relocated Buildings

Buildings that have been relocated, modified or expanded over the years often no longer match their original engineering drawings. We document actual field conditions and translate them into accurate as-built drawings that reflect the structure as it currently stands, giving you a reliable engineering baseline for any future work.

Code Compliance Review and Update

Older Butler buildings were engineered to the codes in effect at the time of original construction. When reconstruction plans are required for a permit or reinstallation we review applicable current codes and update the drawings accordingly so your submission meets the requirements of today's building departments.

Fast Turnaround and Direct Builder Coordination

Our team works directly with Butler Manufacturing, licensed engineers and your local builder to keep the reconstruction plan process moving efficiently. We communicate clearly at each stage so you know where your project stands and what comes next.

Accurate Documentation Protects the Value and Future of Your Building

An existing Butler building without engineering documentation is a liability. Missing plans can delay permits, block sales, prevent expansions and expose owners to compliance risk. Reconstruction plans restore the documentation your building should have had all along and give you a reliable engineering foundation for every decision that follows.

Whether your building is 10 years old or 40 years old, Butler’s pre-engineered systems were built to last and the engineering behind them deserves to be properly documented. Our team brings the technical expertise, manufacturer relationships and permitting experience to deliver reconstruction plans that hold up under review and give your project a clear path forward.
