Prefab Steel: The Top 5 Reasons to Build Steel
There’s little question that prefab steel is the current
direction of the future of building. Cost effectiveness, efficiency and speed of
construction combined with new technologies which allow for 100% custom
buildings all make steel a very powerful option whether you’re building your next home or starting a new development.But there are a few things to consider before starting your prefab steel project. Here are the top
five…
Prefab Steel: Durable and Attractive
3. The average lumber home requires 3-4 acres of timber to build, is susceptible to fire, termites and other insects, and its integrity will be quickly diminished by extreme temperatures and marine or humid environments.
5. Finally, where do you want to build, and how quickly? Bolt together prefab steel buildings go up faster than any other traditional building method, and can be
accomplished in some of the most unforgiving, smallest or most remote building locations in the world. Imagine having your new building up in a matter of weeks, not months. With prefab steel, it’s a reality.

Prefab Steel is Green!
1. How concerned are you with sustainability or green building?
Will be you be seeking LEED certification on your project, or applying for sustainable tax credits? If so, steel is probably your best option. Prefab steel is one of the
most renewable resources on earth, and all prefab steel is currently 75-85% recycled content, and rising.
2. What type of environment is your project in?
A steel prefab building with insulated panels achieved the highest
insulation values available anywhere, with no thermal gaps or bridging prevalent
in all lumber buildings. What does this mean? Lower power bills forever, green
credits, and a more comfortable building to start!

3. The average lumber home requires 3-4 acres of timber to build, is susceptible to fire, termites and other insects, and its integrity will be quickly diminished by extreme temperatures and marine or humid environments. The average steel home on the other hand will require 3-5 junked cars, and is infinitely more resilient to these common issues. In addition steel is much more durable during earthquakes, floods, fires, and other disasters that would normally destroy a stick build. Insurance companies know this, and your rates will permanently
reflect it!4. What kind of design do you envision for your project?
Prefab steel affords the highest level of design flexibility in the world. From
cantilevers to clear-spans giving you wide open spaces, steel prefab allows
possibilities that would be impossible to achieve with any other material. And
this doesn’t mean you have to end up sacrificing the aesthetics you want. With
modern prefab steel the design opportunities are truly endless. From classic to
modern, it can be accomplished with steel!

Where to Get More Information on Prefab Steel
EcoSteel, a North American leader in custom prefab steel homes has
organized an informational guide to custom prefab steel to help point you in the
right direction no matter what your situational needs, and determine if prefab
steel is right for you. In addition they have a wide variety of project images
and plans to view. I highly recommend checking it out.
