Three published Alice projects on MBMI’s testimonials archive all belong to one buyer: Jorge Aguilar in Jim Wells County. His hunting lodge complex paired a 50 by 80 by 20 foot main building with an attached 50 by 40 by 12 secondary structure. His office and workshop campus used the same two-building footprint. His feed store at 25 by 70 by 16 feet handles the commercial retail side of the operation. By his count on the Office and Workshop testimonial, Aguilar has purchased thirteen MBMI buildings through his sales rep Mike. South Texas ranching country runs to that kind of long-term account, where one successful build leads to a hunting lodge, then a workshop, then a feed store, then the next ranch over.
Four reasons Jim Wells County ranching, hunting, and commercial accounts work with MBMI on repeat orders.
Alice sits inland from the Gulf in Jim Wells County, with hurricane influence reaching this corridor along Texas 44 and US 281. Our drawings size the structure to the live ASCE 7 load table for the buyer’s specific Alice ZIP rather than to a statewide assumption.
Aguilar’s hunting lodge, workshop, and feed store all sit on AISC-certified manufactured framing. The certification matters when Jim Wells County reviewers look at commercial structures like the feed store and when project lenders pull spec on ranch-scale buildings.
Aguilar wrote: “We have done 13 buildings with my rep Mike, and will buy our next steel building from him and MBMI.” Long-term account continuity matters for ranching customers who plan in five-year increments, not single-project ones.
Both the Aguilar hunting lodge and the office and workshop orders paired a main 50 by 80 by 20 building with a 50 by 40 by 12 secondary structure, shipped as one coordinated package with matching bay spacing and color packages.
Ranching, hunting, agricultural, and commercial categories dominate the Alice queue, with workshop and equipment structures common on larger Jim Wells County parcels.
Equipment storage, livestock housing, hay barns, and ranch-support structures. The hunting-lodge use case at Aguilar’s main 50×80×20 building falls in this family.
Feed stores, contractor yards, and small commercial parcels. Aguilar’s 25×70×16 feed store sits in this category with AISC-certified manufacturing documentation.
Ranch shops, equipment maintenance buildings, side-business workshops. Aguilar’s 50×80 office and workshop complex pairs office space with workshop bays under one envelope.
Open-bay and enclosed structures for personal RVs, ranch trailers, and oilfield equipment. Common on larger south Texas acreage parcels.
Stalls, tack rooms, and clear-span riding arenas engineered to the Jim Wells County wind zone for the King Ranch and Falfurrias-area equestrian markets south of Alice.
Live-in metal homes growing across south Texas ranchland. Combined workshop-residence layouts are most common, with attached lean-tos for equipment storage.

“I have purchased 12 or 13 buildings from MBMI and have always been happy with the results. My customers all love the quality and I like how easy they are to install.”

“I like working with MBMI because everything is delivered on time as promised and they are responsive to my needs. We have done 13 buildings with my rep Mike, and will buy our next steel building from him and MBMI.”

Jorge Aguilar’s Alice feed store at 25 by 70 by 16 feet rounds out his published cluster: a hunting lodge, an office and workshop campus, and the commercial feed retail building. Three projects, one Jim Wells County buyer, thirteen MBMI buildings to date across the operation.
