For any business, the choice of a building goes beyond mere aesthetics. An attractive, functional, and reliable structure plays a critical role in ensuring smooth business operations and directly impacts the profitability and image of a company. Traditional construction methods, while effective, involve extensive planning and significant time investment and can be quite costly. These methods require building a structure from scratch, often leading to extended project timelines and unforeseen challenges.
In contrast, pre-engineered metal commercial buildings from Armstrong Steel present a smart and efficient alternative to traditional construction. These buildings are not just pre-engineered structures—they are custom-designed with the modern business’s needs in mind. Customizability is a key feature of Armstrong Steel’s offerings. Whether your business requires a spacious warehouse, a sleek office building, or a specialized facility, these metal buildings can be tailored to meet those specific needs.
Versatile uses for commercial metal buildings
Pre-engineered metal commercial buildings are suitable for a wide range of applications. Armstrong Steel has provided these structures for clinics, strip malls, shopping centers, retail establishments, storage facilities, offices, and restaurants. Regardless of your business type, a commercial metal building can be customized to meet your specific needs. These buildings are practical for startups or existing businesses looking to expand.
Investment in pre-engineered metal buildings
Exploring the cost-effectiveness of pre-engineered metal commercial buildings reveals several benefits, including durability, versatility, flexibility, and energy efficiency.
Why pre-engineered metal buildings are a smart choice
Constructing a commercial building with traditional materials like wood or brick can take months. Pre-engineered metal commercial buildings can significantly shorten the construction timeline, completing the project three to five times faster. These buildings simply need to be erected on your jobsite.
At Armstrong Steel, commercial metal building kits come with a comprehensive erection guide, assembly drawings, and anchor bolt patterns to simplify installation. The crucial bolt-together connections have pre-punched holes, and components are pre-cut and numbered to speed up assembly.
Speedy construction equals savings.
Pre-engineered metal commercial buildings are quicker and simpler to erect, translating to savings. The parts are designed to fit seamlessly, reducing labor costs and simplifying construction. The numbered components, pre-punched connections, and detailed assembly drawings streamline the construction process, allowing for quicker project completion.
These commercial buildings also offer optimal material usage, eliminating residual waste and ensuring you only pay for the materials in your kit. This contrasts with traditional wood construction, where waste is more common. Each aspect of the building system is engineered to comply with building codes and loads, avoiding excessive material use.
Durability and material quality
Durability is a hallmark of pre-engineered metal commercial buildings, especially those from Armstrong Steel. These structures withstand elements like high winds, earthquakes, and heavy snow. Steel’s non-combustibility means these buildings are less likely to succumb to fire. Additionally, steel roof panels are coated with galvalume, an aluminum compound, to extend their lifespan and prevent rust.
Flexibility for various applications
Armstrong Steel Building Systems designs & manufactures pre-engineered metal commercial buildings with flexibility in mind. These structures can have minimal interior columns, allowing for versatile layouts. This flexibility is ideal for storing oversized machinery or conducting interior activities. The buildings can also accommodate larger doors for easy movement of goods and equipment. This makes them suitable for storing or selling farm equipment, aircraft, vehicles, and industrial machinery.
Versatility for any need
These metal buildings offer versatility for any application. Armstrong Steel provides different framing systems, including designs with columns as well as designs without columns(clearspan). This adaptability makes them suitable for retail, office space, warehouses, or manufacturing plants.
Pre-engineered metal buildings are available in almost any size, meeting various length, width, or height requirements. Large commercial spaces benefit from these structures, as they can span great distances, a feat unachievable with wood. Future expansions are also simplified, as metal buildings offer unlimited length and width extensions.
Material and energy efficiency
Pre-engineered metal commercial buildings promote optimal material use, reducing waste. Armstrong Steel designs each building in-house, maximizing material usage. Every building component is engineered to meet specific needs, including local codes and loads, curbing excessive material use. These benefits translate into savings.
Another advantage of these buildings is the insulation options available, enhancing energy efficiency. Rigid frame steel structures insulate better than wood, and with high-quality insulation, commercial buildings can enjoy reduced heating and cooling costs without compromising comfort.
Long-term use without worries
Longevity is another reason to choose pre-engineered metal commercial buildings. Metal’s durability and robustness ensure many years of use without excessive routine maintenance. Top manufacturers like Armstrong Steel provide extensive warranties for peace of mind, including a 50-year structural warranty, a 35-year rust-through-perforation warranty, and a 40-year paint warranty.
When selecting pre-engineered metal commercial buildings, choose a trusted manufacturer that stands behind their work. This ensures you can focus on your business long after your building’s construction.
