Pre-engineered Metal Buildings: The Best Building Value for Today and Beyond
Pre-engineered steel buildings have long dominated agricultural and aviation construction. Now steel framing commands the lion’s share of commercial and industrial construction as well.
Today steel frames almost 80% of all new commercial structures. Steel’s market share of industrial construction climbs even higher, with 95% of new industrial buildings now framed with steel.
Shrewd business people choose metal buildings more than any other low-rise construction method. They depend on steel’s quality, strength, versatility, durability, and practicality, of course. But most of all, perceptive businesspeople continually choose pre-engineered steel buildings for a healthy for the bottom line. They know that steel buildings are not only a good investment today, but also very cost-effective long term.
Homeowners are increasingly choosing prefabricated metal buildings for residential accessory structures, too. Pre-engineered steel buildings make great workshops, hobby shops, multi-car garages, RV and boat storage, man caves, and multi-purpose storage structures for space-challenged homeowners.
Today’s Benefits of Pre-engineered Steel Buildings
