Outdoor structures in Lee's Summit, MO
Built in Lee's Summit, for Lee's Summit lots.
Sheds, detached garages, backyard offices, pool houses, and accessory dwelling units, built by a Lee's Summit company that already knows the city's permit desk.
KC Structure Co is headquartered in Lee's Summit, so most of our builds are within a few miles of the shop. The city runs a clear permit process for detached accessory structures, and we submit the scope of work, plot plan, and building plan for you.
Lee's Summit lots range from the wooded, sloped parcels around Raintree Lake and Lakewood to flat subdivision lots in Winterset and New Longview. Each one changes the foundation, the access route for materials, and where a structure can sit relative to the house and the rear lot line. We walk every site before the quote is final.

Questions from Lee's Summit homeowners
Do I need a permit for a shed in Lee's Summit?
Yes if it is over 120 square feet. Lee's Summit also caps sheds at 250 square feet and requires a permanent footing over 120 square feet. We prepare the scope of work statement, plot plan, and building plan and submit them to Development Services for you.
Can I build an ADU in Lee's Summit?
Yes. The city has an accessory dwelling unit ordinance. A detached ADU has to sit at least 6 feet behind the front of the house and 20 feet off the rear lot line, needs one additional off-street parking space, and carries a $250 park impact fee per bedroom. It also has to match the neighborhood's architectural style, which is why every ADU we build is designed to the house next to it.
How fast can you get to a Lee's Summit property?
Our shop is in Lee's Summit, so a site visit is usually scheduled within the same week. Configure a model online for a ballpark price, then request the visit from the cart.
Does my HOA get a say?
Often yes. Raintree Lake, Lakewood, New Longview, and many other Lee's Summit neighborhoods have covenants about outbuildings, materials, and colors. The city does not enforce those, so we ask for your HOA guidelines up front and design to them.
