ADVANTAGES
Pre-engineered metal buildings offer many advantages and benefits over conventional construction options including tilt-up, conventional steel, wood frame and others.
Faster Construction & Reduced Cost
Pre-engineered buildings can reduce your project timeline by weeks, saving you time and money. Depending on project complexity, a pre-engineered metal building can be operational within 30-60 days of purchase. Buildings are pre-drilled, pre-cut and pre-welded using precision-based technology. Pre-engineered components reduce personnel requirements and construction waste. Cost comparisons indicate pre-engineered metal buildings are 35-50% less expensive than conventional buildings.
Design Versatility
While metal building applications traditionally involved commercial and industrial storage facilities, the unlimited design capabilities including glass, masonry, stucco and brick has expanded pre-engineered metal buildings in other markets including schools, churches and retail development. In addition, the absence of support columns offered by pre-engineered buildings can easily accommodate technical requirements such as mezzanines and crane systems. Customization is virtually limitless with a pre-engineered metal building.
Expandable
While future expansion with conventional buildings is nearly impossible and always costly, a pre-engineered metal building can be economically expanded by simply removing an end wall, adding the necessary anchor bolts, additional frame line and cladding. Other expandable options include lean-twos and roof extensions.
Durable
Because pre-engineered metal buildings are built to last anywhere between 25-40 years and require little to no maintenance, life cycle costs are low while return on investment is high. Components are also easily replaceable.
Energy Efficient
Insulation options result in energy savings in cooling and heating costs.
