Why Steel Prefab Buildings Should Be Everybody's First Choice

By Richard Stone


No matter what kind of commercial structure you need, you have a real choice when it comes to site built and factory manufactured. You can choose from all types of materials. When it comes to durability, construction speed, price, insurance costs, and customization, steel prefab buildings are the clear winner. The advantages of these structures are numerous and convincing.

A prefabricated building can be constructed exactly to your specifications in a climate controlled factory. They are not just for warehouse storage. Today's steel structures are the foundations for retail spaces, event centers, and residential properties. They can be as simple or as intricate as a designer can imagine. You can have the look of wood without the worry of decay. Wall panels can replicate brick if that's what you want.

If you want something that will last, steel should be your choice. It lasts several lifetimes and can withstand damaging winds and earthquakes. Termites and other pests won't be a problem if you have a steel building. Even the most determined termites can't eat through a steel structure. You can have the look of less durable materials, like wood, without have the drawbacks of cracking, rotting, and vulnerability to fire.

Steel is a recyclable product. In fact the steel in the structure you order will very possibly be made from other recycled steel products. You won't be adding to landfills if you decide to dismantle a steel frame building. The materials will simply be used for other projects. Steel doesn't emit toxic fumes in the construction or in the event of a fire. It is easier to insulate and gives doors a tighter fit.

If you have a tight construction deadline, a factory built building is your best choice. With on site projects, the building can't begin until the site is prepared and the foundation has been poured. This isn't the case when the structure is manufactured in a factory. Preparation and construction can go on concurrently. Construction in a factory isn't stopped by excessive heat or cold, wind, or rain. Faster construction means lower labor cost.

Construction costs are lower for prefabricated buildings. You not only have concurrent work going on the site and at a factory, other cost factors can be lowered by as much as 60 percent. It won't cost as much to build the foundation, because steel is relatively light. You won't have the maintenance costs associated with structures constructed of other materials.

Your insurance costs will be reduced and the safety factor will be increased. Because steel is fire, rot, and disaster resistant, your building won't cost as much to insure as others. You may even be offered a rebate for choosing a steel prefabricated building. Fewer construction days equal less risk and less chance for injury.

If you need a commercial, or residential building, you should seriously consider purchasing a prefab. These structures are durable, safe, cost effective, and customizable. They will last forever and look great the whole time.
