Why Build a Pre-Engineered Steel Structure

There’s a good chance you’ve heard about pre-engineered steel structures as you research your building options. These structures have been growing in popularity in recent years, and for good reasons! A pre-engineered metal building offers many advantages over a traditional build, and the professionals at Solid State Steel are qualified to help you choose the right structure that is customized to the needs of your business. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider building a pre-engineered steel structure with Solid State Steel:

1. You’ll save money.

As a savvy business person, you’re always thinking about the bottom line. When it comes down to it, a pre-engineered steel structure is going to save you money long term, especially when compared to traditional construction. Because the components of a steel structure are manufactured offsite, your on-site assembly is completely streamlined, resulting in lower labor costs to you. Your insurance costs also tend to be lower because steel structures are inherently weather and pest-resistant. And, for similar reasons, maintenance costs associated with pre-engineered steel structures are much lower than traditional builds, due to the material’s resistance to decay.

2. Quick construction.

When compared to a traditional build, the construction time for a steel structure is much quicker. This is due to the pre-engineered elements of steel buildings. All of your materials arrive on site pre-cut, pre-drilled, and ready to assemble. There’s no waiting around on random materials to arrive, because all of your materials arrive at one time. There’s nothing more appealing than a quick turnaround on a project, and metal structures are your best choice if you are working with tight time constraints.

3. Customization options.

A huge advantage of a pre-engineered steel structure is their versatility. The options are virtually endless when it comes to designing a metal building. Whether you need vast visibility without support beams, ultra-high ceilings, or a specific roof style, these things can easily be achieved with a metal building. The professionals at Solid State Steel are experienced and excited to work on custom projects that can be tailored to your specific needs. Your design will be customized to meet local code requirements, and can accommodate various doors, windows, and other unique features to fit the need of your business.

4. Durability.

Steel withstands tests of the elements and time unlike any other building material. Because the material is so high quality and inherently longlasting, it’s undoubtedly the best option for a structure you’d like to see standing for decades. Pre-engineered steel structures are also easy to repair or reconfigure because they have immense structural integrity. Steel never splits or cracks, nor is it vulnerable to the elements in the same ways that wood is. If you do business in an industry where durability is top priority, a pre-engineered metal building is going to be your best option.

5. Low-maintenance.

Maintaining your steel building is always going to require less time, effort, and money than a traditional build. The upkeep of a steel structure is minimal. There’s no need to worry about pest control, because steel resists any sort of insect or animal infestation far better than wood materials. Steel also won’t rot, warp, or crack. It also does not allow for mold, mildew or fungus to grow. Steel structures are also easier to access if maintenance ever is required, for issues such as cleaning or minor repair. This means that not only will your to-do list be shorter, but you’ll also find yourself saving money when you aren’t pouring your budget into repairs and repainting your structure.
