Prefab Commercial Metal Building

· August 18, 2017 ·

Getting started on a commercial renovation can be both exciting and vast, especially if the project is for a well-established company with a highly functioning facility like our Chicago based client, EJ Basler.

EJ Basler, who offers the latest in cutting edge precision machining technologies and techniques, came to EcoSteel with the vision of demolishing their existing industrial warehouse and reconstructing it with an additional rear connecting corridor. This new industrial project and campus-style expansion feature the construction of a new 30,000 square foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, a structure fit to support the growth of their operation.

The project will be led and developed by architect, Marc Amstadter of Amstadter Architects, a specialist in all things industrial and commercial design.

Paired with EcoSteel’s unlimited design flexibility and prefabricated metal building systems this project has the ability to cut timelines and construction costs significantly.

The exact time it will take for the erection of this prefab commercial metal building system is dependent on the contractor, however, generally the expectation for a building this size can be as short as a few weeks or a couple of months.

Another time-saver for these prefab commercial metal buildings is the prep work. Prefabricated buildings are attached to a concrete slab that can be prepped and completed while awaiting the custom steel kit to arrive on site. Another thing to keep in mind is using a metal building contractor with the experience to serve a successful and timely project assembly.

Modern Commercial Steel

· August 30, 2017 ·

Custom prefabricated medical office building in Los Angeles, CA. A state of the art Surgery Center occupies a premier downtown location in Burbank right on the I-405. This All Steel bolted frame construction ensures the patients inside are protected by a superior structure designed for earthquakes along with providing the most resistance to fires.

Hospitals and Medical Office Buildings run a high risk of fast-spreading fire damage with high-pressure oxygen lines running through the walls. In addition to safety features, an EcoSteel prefab commercial building eliminates the lumber and asphalt materials which are used in standard construction methods. The off-gassing of glues for engineered lumber products and asphalt shingles creates poor indoor air quality. Steel does not harbor mold, bacteria, and termites and therefore does not need regular chemical treatments of waterproofing, or insecticides which cause disease among humans.

The project was completed in under 12 months and provides a safe healthy environment for employees and patients who occupy the building daily. The unique architecture and precision-based panel design conveys the message of a superior brand over that of the traditional building options. 16 Additional LEED Points are available when designing with the EcoSteel Prefab System.

The state of California is facing a growing homeless population resulting in massive camp-like communities across the state. An estimated 129,972 people are experiencing homelessness on any given day and roughly 3,500-6,700 people in San Francisco alone are unsheltered and living on the streets.

In response, Mayor London Breed is moving forward to eradicate the situation by creating the third homeless facility in the Bayview area.

In late July, the SF Mayor announced plans for the newest Navigation Center of District 10 that will offer around the clock stay, permit people to bring their pets and partners and offer a more intense health and housing solution.

The structure will occupy 200 beds in a “ district that has the second-highest number of individuals experiencing homelessness,” says Jeff Kositsky, Director of the city’s Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing.

EcoSteel will design a custom prefab 23,000 sq ft metal building that will help to optimize space, decrease labor costs and simplify the building’s foundation with a structural support system. The project will be developed by Mike Bullman, Architect at the office of Charles F. Bloszies and constructed by Pankow Builders.

EcoSteel provides the prefab/architectural systems that will make the availability of interim houses for the homeless a reality. Our vision is to provide a beautiful, prefabricated steel housing units for those in need of assistance.

Superior Energy Efficiency is achieved with insulated steel roof and wall panels. The Roof panels will be concealed with an entertainment deck surface and the walls are covered with 3/4 Inch European style limestone plaster for an Old World effect.

Walker Moody Architects of San Francisco designed this home with a spiral central staircase and roof skylight that is a centerpiece of the living space. The San Francisco steel home features site conditions including a Four Story Retaining Wall and One Inch tolerance on property lines with a Fire Rating condition. To add complexity to the design, the neighbors home exterior wall plane is encroaching into the project airspace by Four Inches due to settling of a brick wall.

Urban Infill projects can benefit with 3D Modeling for BIM (Building Information Management) to help control costs and design cost savings into the project. Bolted steel framed house with steel insulated roof and wall panels that are attached to a commercial grade frame provide unmatched strength and durability. Radius Steel Structure allows for dramatic floating staircase and glass rotunda.

Kensington Homeless Shelter

· March 7, 2022 ·

Lahmon Architects has created the design of these beautiful and sustainable buildings. EcoSteel will be providing structural engineering and prefab/ architectural systems to house individuals and families that are homeless. There are three of these 6,800 SF prefabricated homeless shelters that leverage the speed and costs benefits of warehouse style construction combined with attractive Architectural Design.

Under the visionary leadership of the City of Lancaster and County of Los Angeles, workers will break ground on the shelters of Kensington Campus, a fourteen-acre paradigm shift in ending the lack of a permanent solution to homelessness. This development proves what true public-private partnerships can accomplish by fast-tracking a solution that will come to fruition in 15 months, instead of the typical eight years. As yet another first from the City of Lancaster, Kensington Campus will serve as the model for other municipalities who are motivated to mitigate homelessness today, and in the future.

EcoSteel was chosen to Design, Engineer & Supply the steel structural systems and architectural roof and wall panels that are pre-finished and pre-insulated ready for fast assembly. We are enhancing the end walls of each building with Trespa Meteon facade panels attached over our insulated steel wall panel.
