Advantages of a Pre-Engineered Steel Home
The many advantages of steel as a building material are well known in the commercial and industrial construction industries for decades. More recently, thanks to a new breed of creative designers and architects along with advanced manufacturing methods, homeowners are quickly discovering the advantages of building their next home using the same proven structural elements traditionally used in commercial builds. Here are a few of the major advantages of choosing a pre-engineered steel solution for your next home or guest house.
Safe, strong & durable construction – Local and national building codes are always f actored into the design and engineering ensuring that every Metal Building will meet or exceed all structural requirements demanded by the speci c environmental conditions of the job site and application.
Pre-engineered for cost-e ciency –
e pre-engineered process creates metal structures with very little waste using only the exact amount of steel required for each particular building. Less waste means lesss cost.
Clear-span designs – Pre-engineered metal homes are clear-span by design. is means that there are no columns or posts to get in the way of 100% useable interior living space.
Aesthetically pleasing – Pre-
engineered steel homes can have any look. Beautiful exteriors can be created using stucco panels; faux brick and wood siding, vinyl, or stone facades as in any home construction. Steel homes can be fully customized to meet the aesthetic qualities that a customer desires.
Energy e ciency –Pre-engineered Metal Buildings are designed, engineered and constructed to beenergy-e cient. Metal Building Systems are compatible with various insulation packages, making them energy-e cient and innovative.
Ease of assembly – When your preengineered steel home arrives on the job site, all components are clearly labeled and can be quickly located and crossreferenced in both the blueprints and the erection manual. And with no welding and minor cutting requiredon-site, each component is a perfect t making the structure quick and easy to assemble.
Fast construction process – e
simplicity of the pre-engineered steel building with its limited number of standardized components, allows for quick construction. anks to this preengineering, the actual erection of your building can take as little as 1 week. Faster occupancy – Less time
spent erecting, equates to diminished construction costs and a faster occupancy.
Low maintenance – A typical Preengineered home with pre- nished metal panels and standing seam roof, is virtually maintenance-free.
Flexibility of expansion – Even
a er years of use, Pre-engineered Metal buildings are easily lengthened to accommodate growing homeowners needs and requirements.
Savings Year a er year – Energy-
e cient, maintenance-free, and durable construction ensure continuous savings year a er year. What’s more, some Insurance Companies o er discounts for pre-engineered metal building systems because of their all-steel, optimal re rating construction.
