benefits of pre-engineered steel

There are so many options for choosing ‘what materials’ for your new building. Raeco builders specialize in pre-engineered steel buildings. This building type offers so much more than what you might expect. Below we have six reasons you should put steel at the top of your list.

  1. Speed of construction - a steel building can be completed up to 3 times faster than traditional builds. It's true; when you choose pre-engineered, you'll see progress much quicker than a traditional stick build. The quicker your project is complete, the sooner you can utilize your new investment!

  2. Strength and durability - steel is one of the most robust materials available, meaning your building will withstand even the harshest conditions. Part of the design process with pre-engineered buildings is ensuring they are designed in accordance with local weather conditions. From Canada to Florida, you can have confidence your structure will hold up. Steel is also durable and rot-proof and is impervious to mold, insects, and other pests that thrive in untreated wood buildings giving you additional peace of mind. Pre-engineered steel buildings also adhere to strict national and local building codes, safeguarding your investment against harsh weather conditions.

  3. Cost-effective - steel buildings are more affordable than traditional builds and often require less maintenance in the long run. This is because steel buildings require less upkeep than their traditional counterparts.

  4. Highly Customizable - with a wide range of colors and finishes available, you can create a truly unique building that reflects your style, but it doesn't stop with aesthetics. Construction with steel gives you larger open spaces, taller buildings, and more options. The flexibility pre-engineered steel allows will help you get to the building solutions you require.

  5. We Deliver - Steel buildings are often pre-assembled and modular, so they can be delivered right to your building site with ease.

  6. Avoid Headaches - Because pre-engineered steel buildings are designed and tested before construction, The design process can address many, if not all, potential problems before costly change orders are needed.

Added Bonuses

  • Smaller environmental impact. Less wasted materials.

  • Reduced insurance premiums - many insurance companies offer discounts for pre-engineered steel structures due to their reduced risk from natural disasters, fire or wind damage.

  • Lower energy bills - when adequately insulated and constructed, pre-engineered steel buildings allow for an air-tight seal and unmatched airflow for an efficient cost-saving opportunity.

In Conclusion, we hope this gives you more insight into why we LOVE using pre-engineer steel for most of our builds. If you have questions or ideas, we'd love an opportunity to connect. Contact us below to get started.
