What is a Pre-Engineered Steel Building & How Can it Benefit Your Project?

If you’re not an engineer or a building contractor, you may not be familiar with what a pre-engineered building is, and that’s perfectly okay! We’re here to explain it so you can feel comfortable exploring pre-engineered building options, which might be exactly what you are looking for.

Pre-engineered steel building systems consist of several parts manufactured from steel that is then assembled at a job site. They include a steel structural system with enclosing steel panels. This structural framing is created with rigid steel roof beams and columns that can support even a large enclosed structure without using supportive columns throughout the space itself.

This is particularly advantageous for building commercial structures, warehouses, wineries/breweries, auto dealerships, and many other types of buildings that benefit from large interior open spaces. We have also seen the rise of more open-concept, modern housing which utilizes the structural advantages of pre-engineered steel building systems as well.

Another advantage…

of the pre-engineered building systems is that they are more economical than their mill steel or light gauge metal counterparts due to the fact that pre-engineered buildings use considerably less steel to achieve the same structural scale. Less steel equals far less cost to build.

What is especially important to know about pre-engineered steel buildings is that they are not a one size fits all solution. In fact, pre-engineered buildings can be custom engineered to meet the exact specifications of the project. Each piece of the custom-engineered building fits together perfectly in order to increase the speed of construction and assembly. Overall, pre-engineered steel building systems offer a long-lasting, economical, and efficient building solution and can be customized down to the smallest details.
