Fabricated Steel Buildings Make Business Expansion Easier

Your business has grown and you need bigger digs. When it’s time to move to a larger business home, steel buildings can provide the best and most economical solution to your expansion needs. A custom-designed metal building can take all of your business’ needs into account, saving you the trouble of having to fit your operation into a pre-built building. In fact, steel buildings offer many advantages over traditional construction when it comes to housing your company.

Fast Construction

Whether you’re putting up a small building to house two or three offices and a reception area or a warehouse to store and assemble orders, steel buildings offer the advantage of quick construction. In many cases, the only foundation required for a steel building are footings for posts and a cement slab, eliminating the time and work needed for digging a foundation. Because most steel buildings are delivered ready to assemble, often with pre-drilled holes for the included fasteners and easy-to-follow plans and schematics, your building can often be assembled in a matter of days instead of weeks and months.

Versatility

Because steel buildings don’t require supporting interior beams in most cases, your interior design doesn’t have to take them into account. That allows you to configure your interior to best suit your purposes. In fact, many manufacturers of metal buildings also provide modular interior walls that you can arrange to suit your needs. The interior of your steel building can be finished to suit your business as well, from an empty shell to a completely finished interior that would suit an interior design firm.

Economy

Steel construction is less expensive than traditional construction on many fronts. While steel is generally more expensive than wood, you’ll save on construction costs because of the speed and ease of construction. While it’s recommended that you employ an experienced contractor to put up a steel building for industrial use, your overall costs will almost always be far lower for a steel building than for a traditional building. In addition, your energy costs are likely to be considerably lower because the buildings are designed to be weather-tight and easy to insulate.

Maintenance

Metal buildings are usually made of powder-coated steel, which is rust-resistant, doesn’t rot and isn’t prone to infestation by termites and other insects. The only maintenance your building exterior will need is an occasional hose-down with a power washer.

Whatever the size of your planned building expansion, be sure to research the many advantages of steel buildings for industrial and business uses.
