So What is a Pre-Engineered Steel Building?

So what is a pre-engineered steel building, and why should I be considering it for my building project? Great question. Let's start with the basics and build from there. In its most basic form, a pre-engineered building is constructed in a factory and then delivered to a building site, ready to be erected.

Pre-engineered metal buildings are most often used in industrial and commercial spaces but ultimately can be used for any need you have! Buildings are constructed primarily of a steel framing system and beams that support the roof and walls, often also made out of steel.

So do pre-engineered buildings always need to look like, well, a metal building? Certainly not! Just because the interior structure is steel doesn't mean the building exterior needs to match. We've finished our exteriors with pre-cast concrete, wood, and masonry designs.

Building sizes and form factors are totally up to the owner and can be adjusted to meet any needs you might have! Some things to consider might be bays for parking vehicles, roof slope, and environmental factors based on where you're building, e.g., snow load or wind.

Pre-engineered steel buildings have been growing in popularity over the past few years. There are many reasons for this, but one of the main reasons is that pre-engineered steel buildings offer a number of advantages over traditional construction methods.

Some of the advantages of pre-engineered steel buildings include:

Reduced Construction Time: Pre-engineered steel buildings can be erected much faster than traditional construction methods. This can save you time and money on your project.

Lower Construction Costs: Pre-engineered steel buildings are often less expensive than traditional ones. This is because most of the large connections and joinery work is done in a factory, where costs are lower than on-site construction.

Durability: Pre-engineered steel buildings are durable and can withstand even the harshest weather conditions.

Flexibility: Pre-engineered steel buildings can be adapted to meet your specific needs and requirements.
