Easi-Set Buildings set the standard for efficiency, strength and versatility. They are designed to be cost-effective and provide a level of quality control not available with other building applications. Easi-Set Precast Concrete Buildings outperform metal, wood and masonry.
Easi-Set and Easi-Span precast buildings are 100% concrete, UL-752 level 5 bulletproof and certified by third-party engineers. All Easi-Set and Easi-Span buildings are also available with a range of interior and exterior outfitting options, including HVAC, lighting, plumbing and electricity.
Smaller Easi-Set Buildings by Smith-Midland are delivered to the site pre-assembled, with outfitting options pre-installed. Larger modular section buildings or ultra-large Easi-Span Buildings are site-assembled in a matter of days, not weeks. Also, due to the precast “floating slab” floor system, no foundations or footings are required beyond compacted sand and gravel.
Are you looking for a concrete building with a custom look to complement your existing property or mimic a very specific architectural style? No problem. Easi-Set Buildings offer a wide range of sizes, styles, finishes and colors, which can be tailored to meet your needs. Various roof options are also available. Easi-Set Buildings are engineered to meet a virtually unlimited range of needs and even combine multiple uses into one building. They are the right choice for your next project.

The standard Easi-Set Building models have been manufactured by Smith-Midland Corporation for more than 40 years. They are available in three sizes: Model 1012 (10’ x 12’), Model 1216 (12’ x 16’), and Model 1220 (12’ x 20’), with two choices of roof styles – tapered or gabled. Custom sizes can also be manufactured to meet your specific needs.
Two standard models of dugout complexes are also available for parks and school applications.
Fabricated as separate walls, roof and floor panels, the dugout models feature the patented Easi-Set post-tensioning system in the roof and floor panels, a turn-down roof that caps the walls, and a step-down floor panel to eliminate the possibility of water migration into the building along the bottom of the wall panels.
Easi-Set models are virtually maintenance-free and available with a wide variety of finishes and color options. The building components can be cast with openings necessary for pipes, HVAC units, louvers, windows, etc.
Easi-Set models are typically pre-assembled at our factory, delivered and off-loaded in one piece. They can also be field assembled with a precast concrete floor or set onto a poured-in-place slab or knee-wall.
Specifications for Easi-Set Models 1012, 1216, and 1220 field assembled or pre-assembled precast concrete buildings. Can be rated for blast resistance.
All Easi-Span roofs are made of durable high-quality precast concrete
The roof spans the entire width with no internal supports, designed for 60 PSF live load
Roof modules are 10’ in depth with widths of 20, 24, 30, 40 and 50’
All roofs are pre-stressed and post-tensioned with an architectural ribbed edge and turn-down to provide a waterproof enclosure
No roof coatings or membranes are required
Easi-Span is the name given to the Easi-Set line of ultra-large expandable buildings. They are available in widths of 20’- 50’ with lengths to 250’ and heights to 35′.
The engineering capabilities of Smith-Midland allows the design and production of bigger, more specialized buildings to meet your specific needs. They are the only precast buildings that can be lengthened as needs change, while still maintaining the integrity of the original monolithic structural roof.
The modular capabilities of Easi-Span Buildings allows more versatility, future expansion, increased storage and the enclosure of larger equipment in the building. And, like our other buildings, we can add custom doors and hardware, custom cast openings, outfitting, and a variety of architectural finishes and colors.
Easi-Span Installation
Easi-Spans are delivered to the job site as panels and erected by our dedicated building team on either our precast floor panels or a poured-in-place slab. The precast floor option features an integrated floating precast concrete foundation design, which makes your site simple to prepare. A 4-inch layer of sand or crushed stone is all the preparation required. Most installations can be completed within a few hours.
Easi-Span Combination Buildings
The versatility of Easi-Span Buildings provides so many possibilities that you are limited only by your imagination. Multiple uses can be employed in one building to meet all of your needs whether industrial (workshop/equipment shelter), commercial (data center/office/restrooms) or for recreational purposes (shower rooms/concessions/storage).
Specifications are available for field-assembled precast concrete Easi-Span Models. All Easi-Span Buildings are infinitely expandable in length increments of 10′. Details are included in each set of specifications.
Easi-Set and Easi-Span Restrooms are available in a wide variety of options. Easi-Set Restrooms come in 16 standard models from a single (Blue Ridge) to the 4-unit uni-sex (The Essex). Large Easi-Span models, like the 24’ x 30’ Appalachian, can even combined with storage and a concession stand. All of our restrooms are fully ADA compliant.
Easi-Set Restrooms have a choice of three roof style options: sloped, gabled and the Outback, which features a cedar shake finish. Plumbed and waterless options are available, as well as electrical lighting or skylight options. You can also choose a non-electrical ventilation system called FAN (Fresh Air Naturally). These choices make restroom facilities possible in remote sites with no access to plumbing or electricity.
Easi-Set and Easi-Span Restrooms are available in a variety of finishes, styles and colors. Multiple finishes and colors can be produced in one building. These functional buildings can also accommodate multiple rooms, numerous stalls, sinks, water fountains, showers, and dressing rooms. In addition to the numerous washroom options, you can customize your Easi-Span Restroom to include other building options and combinations.

Easi-Set’s Hazmat Buildings are the ideal answer for safely storing chemicals and hazardous materials. Our hazmat storage buildings conform to EPA and OSHA specifications and are virtually maintenance free. They can also be easily relocated if needed. Excess industrial waste is a common issue, which makes safe on-site hazmat storage all the more important. Easi-Set Hazmat Buildings can also be used as generator enclosures to contain fuel spills and prevent water intrusion. Dimensions of our hazmat storage buildings are 10′ x 12′, 12′ x 16′ and 12′ x 20′, with heights of 8′ 8″.

Post-tension reinforcement is a method of construction used in the roofs and floors of Easi-Set and Easi-Span precast buildings. Post-tensioning enables the floor and roof to achieve a level of watertightness superior to that of regular precast concrete and is installed around the perimeter of the slab inside the concrete. Plastic encapsulated cable is laid in the fresh concrete within 9” of display in the typical post-tension layout of Easi-Set floors and roofs.
Post-Tensioning Strand: 41K poly-strand CP50, .50, 270 KSI, 7-wire strand, greased plastic sheath, (ASTM A416), roof and floor to be each post-tensioned by a single, continuous tendon. The tendon forms a substantial rectangular configuration with gently curving corners and a corner where the tendon members are anchored. Tendons are greased and enclosed in a sheath.
Impact Resistance
Post-tensioned slabs are designed to be 40% more resistant to punch/shear impacts than conventionally reinforced designs of the same size. Slabs are virtually impermeable to moisture or gas penetration without the need for liners or sealers.
Architectural Finishes
We offer a broad array of colors and architectural finishes for Easi-Set and Easi-Span Buildings. Multiple color and finish selections can be incorporated in one building. You can even select different colors for doors, roofs, footers and wall joints. With so many options available, it is easy to match our buildings to surrounding structures on your site or to produce specific architectural styles.

Easi-Brick
Easi-Brick: A Superior Realistic Finish
Easi-Brick is unlike any other finish found on precast concrete structures or products. To achieve a realistic brick finish, a grid work is floated into the top surface of the panel in the form. The grid produces a sharp edge impression that closely resembles brick with recessed mortar joints. Then, using a long-life, UV-resistant, deep penetrating concrete stain and a short nap roller, we produce an attractive and maintenance-free finish that looks just like brick.
Easi-Brick is far superior to the faux brick look achieved when a formliner is used on the “down” side of the panel in the form. Due to the tapers required on formliners to allow stripping the panel from the form, the finished brick impression can appear washed out with no sharp edges on the brick pattern, which allows stain to flow into mortar joints and destroys the realism of the finish.
Color Options
Canyon Tone Stain
Canyon Tone Stain is a pure acrylic, water-repellent penetrating stain designed to provide color uniformity to concrete and masonry surfaces without disturbing the natural surface texture. Canyon Tone Stain can be applied by spray or roller, locking itself into the surface pores of the substrate to eliminate future maintenance problems of peeling, flaking and checking. This stable finish is also available in clear versions with varying degrees of sheen.
Aquathon
Aquathon is a permanently elastomeric “breathing” membrane designed to waterproof a wide variety of exterior wall surfaces. This water-based 100% acrylic cures in a unique, two-stage mode. The exposed surface crosslinks under ultraviolet light to repel dirt, mildew and pollution. The subsurface of the coating is protected from further crosslinking, retaining a permanent elastomeric bond with the substrate to cover existing hairline cracks and bridge additional cracking caused by future building movement.
Uni-Tex
Uni-Tex is a permanently flexible, high-build 100% acrylic texture coating that imparts long-term weather and impact resistance through an attractive, stucco-like finish. This tough color-stable wall coating can be applied by spray or trowel to provide a variety of textures over concrete, masonry, stucco and insulation board, as well as approved exterior wallboard substrates. All system components are water-based for VOC compliance and easy clean-up.
Dura-Tex
Dura-Tex is a 100% acrylic texture coating containing a fine silica, permanent color pigments and a powerful biocide, which combine to provide long-term weatherproofing and flexibility under any normal weather conditions. A wide variety of finish textures can be achieved by varying the application method and/or technique.

Easi-Set Buildings come with three roof style choices: The flat sloped roof, a pitched gabled roof, and the hip roof, featuring four convergent planes.
Easi-Set Restrooms include a fourth choice – the Outback – a gabled roof with split levels. The Outback roof style comes with a cedar shake finish that resembles a shingled roof. The cedar shake finish complements the standard barnboard finish, which also covers the edges of the roof slabs.
Easi-Span Buildings come with one roof style, a shortened gabled roof in a range of standard widths, in 10′ increments.
Sloped, gabled and Easi-Span style roofs may include an additional option of an integral architectural ribbed edge. All standard finishes are available for the gabled and Outback roofs, and all roofs can be stained in a variety of colors.
