Steel Buildings to the Rescue

Steel buildings provide an amazing array of benefits for many residential, storage, commercial, agricultural and industrial uses. Despite their reputation as utilitarian workhorses that are out of place anywhere but the warehouse district, today’s steel buildings are flexible, stylish and up to just about any use you can imagine for them. There are just a few of the ways that steel buildings have come to the rescue in a wide variety of situations.

Quick Classrooms

When the pipes burst in an outdated school building in a small New England town, it looked like the students would be doubling up with other schools for the next two years. The old building was already scheduled for demolition, and the new building wouldn’t be ready for occupancy for nearly 18 months. The city council put their heads together and came up with a better solution. A local supplier of steel buildings was pulled in and within a month the kids were back in class in a series of customized modular steel buildings that housed them until the new building was ready to open at the start of the following school year.

Custom Home Office

When a mother of two decided to give up her office job and work from home, she never expected that her biggest challenge would be finding space to work without interruption. After just a few months, though, she realized that a detached office space would be the key to her success. A steel building kit provided the base for her new digs. She was able to choose a pre-fabricated metal building in a color and trim that matched her home perfectly, and saved a fortune by pressing her husband and brothers into service to erect her new office. It took just a weekend plus one morning for an electrician to wire her new office and she was up and running with a stylish, comfortable and well-appointed home office.

Housing a Congregation in a Steel Building

After leading a congregation in a rented storefront for several years, a pastor in a small Southern city decided it was time for the congregation to have a home of its own. A member of the church contributed a plot of land and the congregation set to work raising money for their new building fund. By opting for a custom-engineered steel building, the congregation was able to create the worship space they wanted at a cost far less and in a much shorter time frame than any other kind of construction. They saved even more by doing the building themselves under the supervision of a member of the congregation who worked as a contractor.

Steel buildings are useful for far more than storage, factories and auto shops. Thanks to the latest engineering technology and trends, a steel building today can fit just about any need you can imagine.
