Steel Buildings Provide Function, Design and Space for Workshops

Whether you’re planning a commercial or personal workshop, you’ll find that the advantages offered by steel buildings make them a compelling choice. Consider your requirements in a workshop building and compare them to the benefits of a steel building and chances are that you’ll find a perfect fit.

Affordable Construction

Prefabrication makes steel buildings an economical alternative to traditional stick-built construction or concrete structures. The typical metal building kit includes everything you need to erect your workshop at one low price. When you order a steel building to use as a workshop, your quote will include everything but the foundation and the finishing touches, such as doors and windows. Some manufacturers will even supply those as part of the package, though they will generally add to the overall price. When you take into account the construction time and other costs that come with other types of construction, you’ll find the cost of your steel workshop is considerably lower than any other option.

Flexible Floor Plans

The typical steel building features an entirely open interior. Whether you choose arch construction or clear span construction, your steel building needs no internal support posts or beams and doesn’t rely on load bearing walls to support the structure. That means that the interior space is completely open, leaving plenty of room to arrange your equipment and accommodate your projects, even projects as large as an airplane.

Customized Design

Since every steel building is custom-designed to meet regional building codes, you have a great deal of input into the actual design of the structure. The building components, including wall panels, roof and arches, are pre-drilled and ready to assemble. It’s easy to include a wiring or plumbing plan so that the engineering architect can build channels for wiring and openings for plumbing pipes at the appropriate locations in your steel building. You won’t find that level of customization and design involvement with any other type of building.

Easily Expandable

There’s no other type of construction that’s as easy to expand as steel buildings. In most cases, expansion is as easy as pulling off the front or rear wall, adding more hoops and wall panels and replacing the wall. You can build the workshop you can afford now and expand it to the workshop you want later at a far lower cost than constructing an addition on a concrete or wood workshop.

Whether you’re planning an auto body shop, a woodworking shop or a metal workshop, talk about your needs with a manufacturer of steel buildings to find out how a metal building can meet your needs.
