Those looking to sell a quality construction experience to homeowners or commercial realtors have every reason to look into prefabricated metal buildings. An invention recorded as far back as ancient Mesopotamia, this scientific construction technique is, in essence, the ability to break a building down into pieces, transport it, and promptly rebuild it in a new location. More recently in the common era, ironworkers and civil engineers assembled one of the Seven Wonders of the World using 18,000 meticulously prepared metal components and, since 1889, the Eiffel Tower looms above the capital of France as a veritable symbol of technology in perpetuity. Perhaps something you raise will stand the test of time.
Prepackaged Steel Buildings Benefit a Wide Range of Businesses
The US national government awarded approximately $700,000 to each of the 184 outsourced companies working in prefabricated steel building and components manufacturing in 2020. If the federal register’s infrastructure investment is an indicator of economic growth in this sector, the following trades (in need of quickly constructed edifices) will see expansion as well:
- Wineries and Distilleries
- Horticultural Production
- Shipbuilding Yards
- Military Hangars
- Private Storage
- Cryptocurrency Mining Farms
Streamlined Factories for Steel Buildings Bring Value to End-User
A steel building kit factory is the beginning and the end of the manufacturing line. Delivery takes place straight from the assembly floor without added detours to retail stores or outlet warehouses. Customers save time when selecting the right product for the intended space because instead of contacting the architect, the engineer, and the project coordinator, all of the experts are already in the same room. The proximity of these professionals makes it simple to review customer specifications and execute their expectations efficiently. Clients, who now have ease of access, can better track the timeliness of their project plan and operators can curtail certain production failures when the work is explicitly streamlined for consistency.
Prefabricated Steel Building Kits are Sustainable
The modular walls and supports cut in ideal proportions fit strategically in a conveniently packaged kit, allowing for the optimization of shipping as well as simplification of installation. One byproduct of the precisely measured building sections is a reduction of wasted materials. Moreover, the developed solution itself is 100 percent recyclable steel. The final structure does not generally require much preservation once it is self-standing and the open floor plan of a prefab, column-free building potentially conserves energy in custom climate-controlled units.
Steel Structures Don’t Have the Same Challenges as Others
As a permanent construction, steel buildings live a life altogether different than buildings of other materials:
- pests are disinterested in hard metal as a food source, so they don’t set up shop in the foundation
- fungal spores do not cultivate on steel the way they blossom on wood
- metal does not easily ignite in warm temperatures, reducing the chance of combustion
- steel stands durably against high wind exposure during inclement weather
- inorganic steel will not twist, bend, or rot from moisture over time
Custom steel buildings are resilient strongholds for storage. Open communication from upstream to downstream with your building designer will ensure your expectations for your forever structure are met.
