Advantages of Opting for Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings in Residential and Commercial Construction

Pre-engineered steel buildings offer more benefits to those looking to build a home or a commercial structure quickly and cost-effectively. Compared to conventional wooden or concrete structures, they are more cost-effective, easier to customize, and easier to erect. As metal building fabricators, we engineer every residential or commercial steel building based on local load requirements and building codes. This saves builders a lot of time and prevents problems during erection.

The many benefits of pre-engineered steel buildings

These custom buildings are shipped to you ready to assemble, complete with detailed assembly drawings, erection guide, and anchor bolt patterns. Rest assured that we have numbered and pre-cut most components to correspond with the drawings, and holes are already pre-punched on major connections.

At Armstrong Steel, our engineers consider the customer’s customizations, local load, building codes, and environmental factors to ensure a highly reliable and durable structure. Moreover, we fabricate all the components in our facility, including the metal roofing system, wall panels, structural frame, and other essential accessories, and then we ship these products to the customer’s site, ready to assemble.

Ultimately, pre-engineered steel buildings save you money and time while avoiding the stress involved in traditional construction, whether for commercial or residential use. Keep reading to learn more benefits that make these structures better than traditional buildings.

Designed for your purpose

Versatility is another reason to choose metal buildings for residential and commercial construction. We have extensive experience in customizing our structures for any purpose, including steel homes, barndominiums, strip malls, restaurants, motor vehicle dealerships, retail stores, medical clinics, office buildings, and storage facilities. No matter the purpose, our in-house project managers and building consultants will coordinate with you every step of the way to make sure the structure meets your requirements.

Cost-effective

In today’s economy, constructing a home or commercial structure presents even more challenges. Recognizing this, more people are turning to alternative building methods. Steel buildings offer a cost-effective solution because they are easily adaptable for residential or business purposes. Our expertise lies in designing steel structures with flexible floor plans to enable efficient use of space. Additionally, our clear-span designs enhance the interior height of the buildings, maximizing their utility.

From the outset, our engineering and design teams work closely with each customer. This collaboration ensures the creation of a custom steel building system tailored to the desired dimensions and equipped with all necessary features. These may include modular or clearspan framing systems and larger door openings, among others. By fabricating everything in-house, we optimize material usage, minimizing costs associated with excess materials and waste.

Time savings

Delays in construction projects can cost you more than you think. This is why successful contractors carefully plan their timing and labor. Our steel building solutions significantly reduce construction timeframes. Pre-engineered metal buildings are ready to assemble and erect as soon as they are delivered to your site. Plus, the pre-punched connections, assembly instructions, and numbered components streamline erection and reduce labor costs.

Durability

The durability of pre-engineered steel buildings is another key factor in their cost-effectiveness. These structures require minimal maintenance and are capable of withstanding extreme weather conditions and natural disasters, including earthquakes, heavy snow, and high winds. To further enhance their longevity, we can apply a coating of galvalume to the steel roof panels. This reliable aluminum compound extends the lifespan of the panels and prevents rusting.

The durability of these buildings also means less frequent repairs or replacements, making them a wise long-term investment. Additionally, being non-combustible, steel buildings offer increased safety in the event of a fire as they are less likely to burn down.

For both residential and commercial structures, these durability features can lead to lower insurance premiums. Steel buildings are less prone to damage than traditional structures, resulting in lower risks for insurers. They are also resistant to termites and other damaging pests, eliminating the need for costly pest control and repairs.

Custom design to meet your needs

Our in-house engineering staff and building consultants work to save you both money and time when it comes to designing your building for finish work. We can ensure that the finished structure doesn’t resemble a warehouse or industrial building. Our approach differs from our competitors in that we don’t rely on generic standards. We are dedicated to each customer, ensuring that each building meets your specific needs.

Backed by warranties

At Armstrong Steel, we like to stand behind the quality of our work. This is why we offer decades-long warranties that allow you to enjoy and make the most of steel buildings without any worries. Below are some of the warranties that make our pre-engineered metal structures stand out:

• 50-year structural warranty
• 35-year rust through perforation roof warranty
• 40-year paint warranty

Energy savings

Proper insulation will increase the energy efficiency of any structure. Unlike wood frame structures, our pre-engineered steel buildings are easy to insulate. This feature allows you to improve the energy efficiency of your home or business, leading to substantial savings on cooling and heating costs over the building’s lifespan.
