Prefabricated steel buildings are ideal for any contractor or builder looking for flexible cost-effective building solutions. Highly durable, and virtually maintenance free, prefab steel buildings and metal building systems can be customized to capture any desired look or functional use. Additionally, pre-engineered metal and steel buildings greatly reduce construction times and make later expansion easy.

Some of the benefits of prefabricated metal buildings include:

Durability

The durability of a pre-engineered metal building is a huge selling point. These buildings can withstand the elements &#; from heavy rains and snowfall to high winds or even tornados and earthquakes. Adding some galvalume &#; an aluminum compound &#; to steel panels can prevent rusting to further increase their lifespan. Furthermore, steel buildings are non-combustible, which means they cannot be destroyed by fire.

Flexibility & Versatility

Since pre-engineered metal or steel buildings have no interior columns, their interior layouts are much more flexible than a traditional building&#;s. This coupled with the option of large overhead, rolling, or sliding doors offers uninterrupted interior space. A pre-engineered steel building has no maximum size, which means it can accommodate anything from a manufacturing plant to a warehouse, office, or retail space. Even better, there are endless width and length extension options to simplify any necessary future expansion.

Easy & Quick Assembly

Unlike the construction of a traditional building, which can take several months or longer to complete, assembling and erecting a pre-engineered metal or steel building is relatively quick and easy.

If you&#;re a do-it-yourselfer, every building comes with anchor bolt patterns, a step-by-step erection guide, and detailed assembly drawings. Individual pieces are precut and numbered to correspond with assembly drawings for fast assembly.

If you lack the know-how or manpower to comfortably take the DIY approach, you can also find a reliable provider like Steelsmith, Inc. that offers full-service steel building construction services along with design and delivery.

Cost-Efficiency

Unlike traditional construction, there are seldom any delays in a metal or steel building&#;s construction process. It&#;s extremely rare for the assembly of a pre-engineered metal or steel building to incur any extra costs.

Energy Efficiency

Steel buildings allow for much better insulation than traditional buildings. This enhanced energy efficiency can significantly reduce heating and cooling bills.

Benefits like these, along with technological advances and cutting edge software, have truly expanded the use and capabilities of steel buildings. Is it any wonder why prefabricated steel buildings have risen in popularity in both the private and commercial sectors?

How steel helps to achieve this: Value for money

STEEL AS AN ECONOMIC CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL

• Increased productivity in steel manufacture and design, fabrication and erection has made steel a low cost way of building.
• Steel usage allows new low cost approaches to fire and corrosion protection.
• Steel building fabrication costs have fallen in real terms

CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT IN TECHNOLOGY

• By investment in IT and CAD/CAM technology for engineering and production

• Earlier possession of the building for use or rent.
• Lower financing costs
• Better site utilisation
• Earlier access for following trades

COST SAVINGS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROJECT

• Early involvement of the steelwork contractor in the design process
• Large unsupported spans
• Smaller site footprint
• Steel represents a durable form of construction which meets the building life requirements
• Steel construction allows slender columns resulting in maximising floor area.
• Steel advantages include excellent strength to weight ratio resulting in lower foundation costs
• Offsite structural steel fabrication facilitating lower site costs during construction
• Prefabricated steel building construction allows greater independence from the weather
• Low cost and efficient approaches to fire protection
• Easy integration of services
• Prefab steel buildings allow greater flexibility in accommodating changes to the building

Flexibility

IN DESIGN

• IT and software.
• Steel&#;s excellent strength to weight ratio creates an attractive and economic use of space when beams and columns have small profile areas.
• New rolled and prefabricated steel section shapes.
• Economic methods for shaping and curving.
• Standardised solutions for floor systems and connections.
• Opportunities to integrate large openings, for doors and windows
• Enhanced Fire engineering.

DURING CONSTRUCTION

• Complementary structural components can easily be accommodated, curtain walling readily and efficiently connected to the structure, and other modularised elements such as toilet pods, dry-casing, M & E items easily fitted.
• Easy adaptation &#; during the construction period the client may wish to alter installations and this can readily and rapidly be achieved.
• Steelwork connections, particularly bolted ones, can easily be released or re-made in whatever form necessary.

IN USE

• The client may need to extend, to change the use of the steel framed building, to absorb changes in loading requirements, and to incorporate new installations.
• Should an increase in loading requirements occur, then the structural steel elements can easily be individually strengthened, or additional members introduced or altered to suit.
• Steel&#;s relative lightness in weight allows adaptation in the future to be easily accomplished.
• New connections can easily be introduced by bolting or welding enabling alterations for services or changes of use.

Speed

PRE-ENGINEERED STEEL BUILDINGS

• The construction preparatory phase enables the steel structure to be planned and connections to be selected for speed of erection.
• Pre-engineered steel buildings can take advantage of Just-in-Time manufacturing techniques.
• The steel frame of the building is designed and manufactured from computer models directly linked to the CNC machines thus ensuring high dimensional accuracy and speed of erection.
• Quick drying coatings technologies are available.

SHORT CONSTRUCTION PERIOD

• Economical foundations &#; steel&#;s excellent strength to weight qualities result in small foundations which then take minimum time to construct.
• Off-site manufactured elements, with steel components ready for immediate erection upon arrival on site, with no subsequent delays. This means following trades can carry out their work in parallel.
• New erection techniques, e.g. use of mobile working platforms.

Safety

DURING DESIGN AND FABRICATION

• Extensive research and development by the steel construction industry into accident prevention.
• Wide ranging Health and Safety guidance documents and procedures

DURING CONSTRUCTION

• Pre-fabricated steel frame buildings allow off-site manufacture resulting in less site activity.
• Regulatory monitoring of machinery.
• Risk assessments.
• Use of mobile elevating working platforms.

Quality and Reliability

DURING THE STEEL BUILDING DESIGN PROCESS

• World Class companies using tried and tested solutions.
• Steel is a homogenous material and is subject to documented quality control procedures during manufacture and rolling. The Client can be assured of obtaining reliable and constant quality.
• A wide range of steel section shapes and sizes in a range of qualities offers the most efficient and economic solution for the design requirements.
• Successful use of IT.

DURING STEELWORK CONSTRUCTION

• A qualified and trained workforce &#; in the fabrication shops staff are permanently employed, often for the whole of their working lives, and on site steel erection companies maintain a permanently employed labour force.
• Independent Certification of in-house quality systems gives ongoing assurance of procedures and products.
• Improved coatings technologies on structural steelwork.
• High quality surface finishes available for pre-site approval.
• Bolted and welded connections are generally exposed and therefore are simple to check for quality and safety.

Sustainability

AT THE CONSTRUCTION STAGE

• Delivery of steelwork is relatively straightforward &#; requiring little space, time or inconvenience. The hours of delivery can be selected in order to reduce public nuisance.
• Because steelwork comprises prefabricated elements, there is as a result less site disruption with adjoining properties.
• Construction equipment normally used to erect steelwork is cranes and mobile platforms. These by their nature require little permanent or temporary space to operate.
• Noise when manufacturing, delivering or erecting steelwork is not a major problem.
• The speed of steelwork erection means inconvenience caused is reduced to a minimum period.

AFTER COMPLETION

• Steel can be easily maintained so that colour and appearance can always be made to suit a constant or changing environment.

Coatings developed through new technology last longer.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY STEEL CONSTRUCTION

• Steel is basically a clean, user-friendly material &#; no dust, no spillage, little waste etc &#; and consequently no equipment employed to counteract such problems.
• Steel can be reused, relocated or recycled once its use has been overtaken by events. Use is therefore responsible in environmental terms.

Prestige

AESTHETICALLY PLEASING

Steel by its very nature has many advantages including:

• Clean lines
• Slenderness
• Large spanning
• Architectural possibilities

It appeals to the client and his designer in terms of attractiveness as well as economy.

Colour, through paint, can easily and economically transform a steel building to satisfy the designer&#;s options.

A STRUCTURE THAT REFLECTS THE CLIENT&#;S AMBITIONS

Steel has exhibited consistently great architectural beauty &#; steel suspension bridges, tall towers and high buildings, for example, the world over are magnets for tourism. Many steel structures worldwide are viewed as amongst the greatest achievements of mankind.
