What is more valuable than money? Time. EcoSteel’s rapid approach to steel construction reduce projects timeline. And anyone who has ever been involved in any kind of building construction project knows that time can be costly. EcoSteel prefabricated building systems can significantly speed up the timeline of the construction process. Contact us today to get started!

Who We Are

EcoSteel specializes in new custom residential, commercial and retail construction from the ground up to completion. No project is too complex. We work with architects, builders and property owners to create a value-driven approach to steel construction. Our prefabricated technology allows for rapid assembly of our buildings.

Increased savings in labor and time costs

EcoSteel’s rapid approach to steel construction reduce projects timeline. California Modern Steel Buildings. Quicker erection in the field translates into lower labor costs. Workers are needed for less time and tight tolerances ensure little to no onsite modifications. In addition, rework is decreased because the trial assembly at the vendor will have pinpointed issues before the building was sent to the jobsite.

While labor skilled in erecting steel buildings may demand higher wages than non-skilled labor, the cost effectiveness of prefabricated buildings remains. There will still be fewer days of labor required with an easily constructed building.

Overall – Steel Is The Best Choice

EcoSteel designs metal buildings exclusively with pre-engineered steel building components. This allows us to deliver a superior platform of building information management (BIM) combined with the latest engineering and construction technology. From flexibility of design and modification to tighter tolerances speeding erection time, a prefabricated steel building is the number one choice for efficient construction and cost savings. Savings in labor costs, safety, and waste disposal combine to leave all other materials in the dust.

EcoSteel’s construction process begins with 3D Engineering / Modeling and Shop Details. Next, we produce a prefabricated metal building kit of parts that your team can assemble on the job site. By using Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Parametric Engineering technology, we eliminate the need for subcontractors, which means fewer people to manage and fewer mistakes. 

EcoSteel prefabricated building systems can significantly speed up the timeline of the construction process. Contact us today to get started!

  • 3 Things to Know About Our Prefab Metal Buildings & Title 24 Requirements

EcoSteel Cannabis / Marijuana Green House Facility

dscott@ecosteel.com · January 14, 2019 ·

EcoSteel offers exemplary steel buildings designed specifically to be government-approved indoor crop facilities. Whether you are growing marijuana for medical or recreational purposes, our buildings create a weather and fire resistant cultivation atmosphere that makes them effective prefabricated steel marijuana greenhouses. Their atmosphere accommodates ventilation systems, lighting components, irrigation systems and de-humidification systems.

  • Fulfill all federal regulations for indoor marijuana growth & security
  • Excellent weather resistance for long term durability & security
  • Temperature control to protect your crop & equipment
  • Superior Energy Efficiency
  • Fast & Easy Construction

3 Things to Know About Our Prefab Metal Buildings & Title 24 Requirements

Due to their adaptable design and limitless features, our buildings are an excellent expansion solution to processing facilities, shops, nurseries and dispensaries. The grow facilities in prefabricated steel marijuana greenhouses have an almost limitless interior span. This means that you can create a climate controlled year-round growing space with no set maximum width – accommodating large crops, water storage, processing facilities, pre-transport storage and offices. Unlike wood which gets exponentially more expensive with greater spans, modern steel construction allows for extremely cavernous spaces with no interior support beams to obstruct the working area while maintaining a reasonable cost per square foot.

 

EcoSteel pre-engineered buildings come pre-cut and pre-drilled so field work in minimized. This speeds up the erection process exponentially. Cost is an amazing benefit. This is extremely important because capital in the industry often comes in the form of cash. Steel buildings lend themselves quite nicely to the specialized equipment necessary to cultivate a seasonal crop year-round.

Marijuana cultivation requires a high degree of humidity. The ability of steel to withstand the corrosion of high humidity environments over wood construction has made prefabricated steel marijuana greenhouses extremely attractive to new growers. Our steel comes pre-galvanized which means it’s naturally able to withstand high humid interior climates without warping and rotting the way wood construction most certainly will.

Automotive Storage

Our prefabricated greenhouses are customized to your requirements and provide excellent and measurable ROI. These buildings are not only cost efficient but also offer great value for long-term performance. EcoSteel buildings are easily detailed to accommodate the load requirements necessary to support this equipment. Unlike traditional buildings which need to be customized based on the foundation of the structure, steel buildings are easily replicated – which means that detailing and options can be mass produced with the only variable being the foundation.  Without natural light, warehouse grow rooms depend on intelligent grow lights which need to replicate the parts of the sunlight spectrum that the marijuana plants need at each stage of growth.

Today’s Warehouse Design: Better for Business

dscott@ecosteel.com · September 21, 2018 ·

Today’s new generation of warehouses is sporting top-tier architectural features chosen for their ability to streamline logistics and generate other business benefits. This modern approach to warehouse design has made values like optimal performance, durability, and sustainability top priorities for new building projects. Here’s how the value of today’s warehouses is being maximized.

Appealing Design

This new breed of warehouses also flaunts sleek aesthetics, with many achieving an “industrial chic” look. From restaurants to cafes and clothing stores, a variety of businesses have brought their operations into warehouse spaces, and this has made style an increasingly important aspect of modern warehouse design.

Attractive finishes, light fixtures, storage installations, and other elements are becoming more common in warehouses, all for the purpose of making these places more pleasing to customers and workers alike.

Practical Sizing, Layouts, and Fixtures

Warehouse building design has gotten bigger, and that’s making warehouses better. Their average ceiling height has increased by 12 feet, creating more room for vertical storage without the need for added square footage. By increasing in size, warehouse spaces can avoid problems like exceeding capacity or having crowded, work-disrupting layouts.

Staff, automated equipment, and cargo vehicles are better able to move through and access warehouses that have optimized their floorplans through vertical storage. More room is left for pathways throughout the space, as well as entry points like loading doors for trucks and other equipment.

Also enhancing the performance of warehouses is improved lighting. Through both expanded light installations and daylighting via ceiling windows, today’s warehouse spaces are helping workers see more clearly and be more productive overall.

Smart Systems

Innovative technology is increasingly being integrated into modern warehouse design in an effort to optimize processing efficiency. This includes computerized sorting and tracking systems, as well as robotic equipment programmed to automatically retrieve, stack, and pack products for delivery.

The distribution centers of brands like Amazon and Coca Cola are some of the best examples of modern warehouses empowered by tech. More and more tasks are being automated, relieving workers from physical labor and upgrading them to roles which require supervising and interacting with the technology used.

Sustainability

Energy efficient building design has become a big priority for companies in the commercial sector. That’s partly because the U.S. Department of Energy’s Commercial Building Initiative has set a requirement for all commercial facilities to have net-zero energy consumption by 2050.

The embrace of smart systems has actually made it easier for warehouses to make progress toward this goal. With the installation of occupancy sensors, these spaces can activate utilities like artificial lighting in specific zones only when it’s needed, dramatically cutting down on resource consumption.

Another way that modern warehouses are minimizing energy usage is by building more indoor loading docks. This eliminates the problem of losing heated/cooled air to dock doors being left open during loading periods.

High-Performance Materials

Warehouses are no longer “bare bones” structures built from the most basic materials. Many are now using top quality materials that provide the best combination of value, durability, and sustainability.

This includes the use of insulated metal panels for warehouse walls and rooftops. More companies are turning to metal-based constructions for their warehouses to enjoy advantages like quick assembly, cost effectiveness, design flexibility, and greater green value.

Modern Warehouse Design: Better for Business

The 21st century has opened a new chapter of warehouse building design, one that seeks to make these facilities as effective as they can be. Today’s smarter approach to energy efficient building design is minimizing energy waste, cutting out operational inefficiencies, and increasing productivity. Businesses can reap the benefits by ensuring that their warehouses keep up with the rising standards.
