GENERAL
A pre-engineered metal building is a structure that is built using prefabricated components. These components are manufactured in factories and then shipped to the construction site where they are assembled. This type of construction is becoming increasingly popular due to the many benefits it offers.
Pre-engineered metal buildings are factory-built structures that are then shipped and assembled on-site, while prefabricated buildings are put together on-site from parts that have been built in a factory. Prefabricated metal buildings usually have a shorter lead time and cost less than pre-engineered metal buildings, but they may not be as strong or durable.
There are several different types of pre-engineered metal buildings available. The most popular type is the single-span building, which has one large open space that is spanned by trusses.
Another common type is the double-span building, which has two large spaces that are spanned by trusses. These types of buildings are typically used for warehouses or other storage facilities.
WARRANTY/
DELIVERY
This depends on the complexity of your goals, design and building type, which range from 14 to 20 weeks.
We offer a one-year installation warranty, with paint finishes lasting 20-30 years. Weather tightness warranties are available additionally.
Preliminary column reactions can be as little as one week. Permit drawings 2-3 weeks.
BUILDING TYPES
Our full line ranges from industries in the Agricultural, Aviation, Commercial, Community (Churches/Government), Industrial, Recreational, Retail or Self Storage from our manufacturers we distribute for. Click under OUR METAL BUILDINGS in our navigation bar to see examples of each.
Metal buildings can be designed to look like any other type of building and per our manufacturers, we have a wide variety to choose from.
Metal buildings do not require painting or other regular maintenance and both steel and aluminum are both recyclable materials. Lastly, metal buildings are typically more affordable.
CONSTRUCTION
It depends on the size and type of building that you want to construct. However, most prefabricated metal buildings can be constructed on a small plot of land.
The process of building a prefabricated metal building is relatively simple. First, you need to obtain the necessary permits. Next, you will need to find a location for your building. Once you have found a location, you will need to prepare the site for construction.
After the site is prepared, you will need to assemble the prefabricated metal building. This process is typically very quick and easy.
Once the building is assembled, you will need to install the roofing, siding, and other finishes.

MISCELLANEOUS
They are both durable, being that metal buildings are able to withstand high winds, heavy snow and earthquakes.
Also they are fire resistant. Steel is a non-combustible material, which makes metal buildings more fire resistant than other types of buildings.
