Typically, the first question would-be first time builders ask themselves is, "What can I afford?" There are many factors that determine what a reasonable building price should be for an individual vs a small business owner vs a major corporation, including total savings, annual income, as well as additional costs like permitting fees and insurance.
Request A Price in MinutesThe number of options available for builders out there is endless as all of our buildings are custom and do not come off a cookie cutter assembly line, each unique design has their own unique advantages. For most first timers, we at Armstrong Steel highly recommend taking the time to analyze your needs. The distinct benefit behind building pre-engineered Armstrong Steel Building Systems is the enormous cost savings over traditional construction, often upwards of 40%. With that in mind, we frequently hear from our clients that they wish they had gone bigger.
All too often, first time builders concentrate entirely on building budget constraints. When compared to the whole lifespan of the structure, construction costs for the building itself only account for about 15% of total costs. Many first time builders learn the hard way by focusing on finding the cheapest pre-engineered steel building for their project because they offer the most square footage for their budget. However, the long-term savings afforded by a premium building system are an even stronger incentive for choosing Armstrong Steel.
Many first-time builders spend time searching for the cheapest building possible, which can make it more difficult to pull permits in the long run, pass local IECC (International Energy Conservation Code) requirements or lead to costly on site delays. No company in the industry offers a more powerful combination of durability, versatility, aesthetics and value and as always, Armstrong Steel Building Systems are backed by the best warranties in America.
It's impossible to say where the engineering ends and the true beauty of our design begins. We obsess on solving the tiny issues, being unwilling to compromise in our quest to create a far superior product. Thousands of tiny decisions go into the development of Armstrong's designs and it translates to significant cost savings during the erection process.
Armstrong Steel Buildings are fabricated in state of the art facilities. Our culture has embodied a sort of fanatical attention to detail. Most of our competitors are focused on making their product the cheapest. We think cutting corners to be the cheapest is misguided. A product should genuinely be better. This requires real discipline, and that's what drives us - a sincere, genuine appetite to make something excellent.
Armstrong Steel Buildings are not made on an assembly line. Each building is designed by a small, handpicked team of designers. They are extremely close, focused and committed to the same goals: Excellence, Ease, & Simplicity. We want your building to go up intuitively. Just the way you'd expect.
