The city recently finished a pedestrian bridge on Old Nolanville Road, a 10-foot shared-use path and creek-bank improvements along the creek, and City Hall is at 101 North 5th Street.
Growth here is mostly residential. Subdivisions such as Bella Charca, Warriors Legacy and Wildwood Estates have kept adding phases, with Wildwood Estates V under way in 2026. On the commercial side, the town has an 18,000-square-foot D-BAT baseball and softball training facility.
So in Nolanville, most crane work is boom-truck work. That means trusses and framing packages for builders, pools and spas for new homeowners, steel for shops and barndominium-style buildings on bigger lots, and the occasional big tree along the creek.

The City of Nolanville handles subdivision plats, zoning and development permits. If the crane needs to set up in a street, ask City Hall about any permit or notice requirements. In new subdivisions, the main hazards are fresh concrete, soft yards and utility boxes. Outriggers put heavy loads on small spots, so providers will want to know what's under them.
On rural or unpaved lots, describe the access road and gate width. A boom truck needs a firm, fairly level spot near the work. If there isn't one, a crane with longer reach may be the better choice.
The more detail you include, the faster a provider can tell you which crane fits and what it will cost. Fields marked * are required.

Yes. It's about 8 miles east of Killeen on I-14, roughly 15 minutes, and providers coming from Belton are just as close.
Small to mid-size metal buildings are often put up with a boom truck or a small hydraulic crane. Larger clear spans, heavy frames or tall eave heights may need a bigger crane. The building supplier's erection drawings and the weight of the heaviest piece will tell the provider what fits.
