Why a Custom Metal Building Creates a Great Factory Constructing a prefab metal building for a manufacturing plant makes perfect sense. Think about it. Manufacturing turns raw materials into new products. Fortunately, no one understands this concept better than the pre-engineered metal building industry. After all, quality-controlled steel manufacturing buildings create prefabricated steel buildings. Prefab Metal Building Benefits for Manufacturing…

Why Manufactured Steel Buildings House Manufacturing Plants It is a marriage made in manufacturing: factory-built metal buildings for factories and industrial plants. Both pre-engineered steel buildings and manufacturing plants thrive on efficient production. Both demand a sharp eye on costs. Both demand adaptability. And both must keep production running smoothly to keep the customer satisfied. The Impact of Manufacturing on…
Experts Predicting Building Upswing for U.S. and Canada The future of construction looks bright, especially for metal buildings. Industry experts predict continued growth in most segments of construction this year. Builder confidence is also flying high and these US construction stats show how. Construction Predictions for the U.S. Several sources forecast continued growth for construction in 2018, with an almost…
Why Would You Build with Anything Else? A pre-engineered metal building, also known as a PEMB, saves you time, money, and hassles. Is it any wonder that steel now frames over 66% of all new low-rise commercial and industrial projects? So why should you use a PEMB for your next construction project? The following fifteen reasons show why PEMBs are…
Part 1: Comparing Reinforced Concrete and Prefabricated Steel Buildings Is steel or concrete the best choice for a low-rise commercial or industrial building project? For this comparison, let’s look specifically at reinforced concrete buildings versus pre-engineered steel building systems. Poured-in-place— also known as cast-in-place— empties concrete into wall and column forms. The concrete “sets,” drying in the forms. The builder…
Understanding Building System Terms You’ve probably seen construction articles throwing around terms like “prefab building,” “pre-engineered building” and “modular building.” But what do these terms actually mean? Let’s get down to basics. Pre-engineered Building A pre-engineered building generally refers to a metal building. Steel lends itself particularly well to pre-engineering. Steel’s properties and strength are well known. Created in mills…
Why Steel Buildings Rule in Low-Rise Construction Prefab metal buildings dominate low-rise construction— and with good reason. Economical to build, simple to erect, and cost-effective to operate, pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB) are adaptable and reliable. Today PEMBs are the first choice for all commercial and industrial low-rise construction— and for residential accessory buildings, too. Incredibly Flexible Designs A fundamental rectangular…
Building and Leasing Metal Buildings for Profit Discerning commercial and industrial property investors appreciate the cash flow opportunities afforded by a pre-engineered steel building. A high-quality metal building generates a steady, predictable income stream year after year. Moreover, steel buildings require little upkeep, yet still hold their value over decades of use. A Steel Building is Economical to Build Commercial…
Metal Buildings: Strong, Safe, Sustainable, Smart It is no wonder that pre-engineered steel buildings lead commercial and industrial construction today. These modern metal marvels create the most enduring, practical, eco-friendly, affordable structures ever seen in low-rise construction. Steel Buildings are Stronger Steel boasts the highest-strength-to-weight ratio of any building material. Fewer pieces create a stronger, more economical structure. Steel’s great strength…
Steel Buildings Cost Less What is the main motivation so many people choose to construct pre-engineered metal buildings? Well, it is the same basic motivation driving people choose any other product: the bottom line. Steel buildings cost less. We all spout platitudes about demanding quality— and we do want the most bang for our buck— but when push comes to…
