Pre-engineered Metal Buildings: The Best Building Value for Today and Beyond
Pre-engineered steel buildings have long dominated agricultural and aviation construction. Now steel framing commands the lion’s share of commercial and industrial construction as well.
Today steel frames almost 80% of all new commercial structures. Steel’s market share of industrial construction climbs even higher, with 95% of new industrial buildings now framed with steel.
Shrewd business people choose metal buildings more than any other low-rise construction method. They depend on steel’s quality, strength, versatility, durability, and practicality, of course. But most of all, perceptive businesspeople continually choose pre-engineered steel buildings for a healthy for the bottom line. They know that steel buildings are not only a good investment today, but also very cost-effective long term.
Homeowners are increasingly choosing prefabricated metal buildings for residential accessory structures, too. Pre-engineered steel buildings make great workshops, hobby shops, multi-car garages, RV and boat storage, man caves, and multi-purpose storage structures for space-challenged homeowners.
Today’s Benefits of Pre-engineered Steel Buildings
Pre-engineered metal buildings simplify the sometimes tedious design stage of a construction project. Prefabricated steel building benefits during this stage include:
1. Most cost-effective building system on the market. Steel pricing historically very stable.
2. High-quality, commercial-grade steel framing. Premium corrosion-resistant rigid steel.
3. Steel’s proven track record.
4. Sophisticated, top-of-the-line design software streamlines the process. 3-D steel building design analysis assures structural integrity. Optimizes the use of materials to keep pricing low.
5. Every structure designed and manufactured specifically to the individual customer’s requirements.
6. All RHINO final plans stamped by engineer licensed in your state.
7. Unrestricted floor plan possibilities. No load-bearing walls required on clear span designs.
8. Unlimited design flexibility. Anything you dream can be designed with steel. Endless possibilities.
9. Clear span capabilities, for large unobstructed space. Ideal for churches, aircraft hangars, manufacturing, large equipment storage, riding arenas, warehouses, sports facilities, and the like.
