Why steel structure workshops are gaining popularity
Metal buildings have numerous benefits that make them superior to traditional structures built with conventional materials. They redefine workspaces by providing convenience and long-term savings. Understanding these advantages can help you make an informed decision about constructing a steel structure workshop:
· Suitable for first-timers and seasoned builders – Steel structure workshops make excellent additions to an existing structure in case you want to expand your current workspace. That said, they can be installed as standalone buildings, too—making them perfect if you want to separate your workshop from your main house, garage, or workspace. Whether it’s your first time building a metal structure workshop or adding to your facility, Armstrong Steel will guide you and ensure a seamless process.
· Build unique workshops – Beyond being functional spaces, workshops can add value to a business by reflecting its unique identity. Armstrong Steel offers customizable metal workshops and kits that are easy to assemble and sturdy, tailored to specific personal or commercial needs.
· Faster to build – One of the perks of a steel structure workshop is it cuts the building timeline. Erecting a metal building is three to five times faster than constructing a traditional structure from scratch. Armstrong Steel offers open designs and clear-span metal kits to increase flexibility and allow you to build the ideal layout. Moreover, all steel workshop kits come with anchor bolt patterns, step-by-step erection guidelines, and detailed assembly drawings, with numbered and pre-cut components and pre-punched, bolt-together major connections to take the guesswork out of assembling the structure.
· Cost-effective – Armstrong Steel’s expert building consultants collaborate with architects and engineers to design a custom workshop based on your building location and requirements, eliminating the need to hire professionals from other sources. They are also available for consultation to help you understand the things involved in your project so you can make informed choices on the structure’s design, size, color, and other configurations that can impact the cost and complexity.
· Worry-free builds – The good news is that steel buildings are non-combustible and unlikely to be destroyed by fire. In addition, Armstrong Steel designs every steel structure workshop according to local and national codes to ensure durability. Pre-engineered steel workshops are guaranteed durable and can withstand high winds, earthquakes, heavy snowfall, and other natural elements that can easily damage traditional structures. The steel roof panels also come standard with agalvalume coating to prolong their lifespan and prevent rusting.
· Flexible layouts and configurations – Armstrong Steel designs and manufactures steel structure workshops with few or no interior columns, providing flexibility for interior layouts. This adaptability is especially useful for storing large equipment or creating specific work areas.
· Versatility for any application – Steel structure workshops are as versatile as other steel building systems because they come in various framing systems (like modular or clearspan). They can be customized to suit any application, from commercial workshops to manufacturing plants, offices, and warehouses.
Armstrong Steel is meticulous when designing metal buildings to make them more aesthetically pleasing. In most cases, an untrained eye won’t be able to tell that your workshop is made from steel. Moreover, it’s possible to integrate other construction materials to make the pre-engineered steel building more unique. Another benefit is the endless length and width extension options to simplify expansions down the line.
· Energy efficiency – Steel structure workshops come with rigid frames that are easier to insulate than wood frames. This makes it simpler to increase the building’s energy efficiency for savings on cooling and heating costs.
· No waste – Building a steel structure allows the maximum use of available materials to eliminate residual waste. Additionally, Armstrong Steel designs and manufactures your metal workshop in-house to prevent excessive material usage every time. This way, you pay only for materials they use for your project, unlike when you build with lumber.
· Reduced labor costs – A pre-engineered steel structure workshop comes with all the components that seamlessly fit together to eliminate the need for additional labor. Armstrong Steel provides numbered components and pre-punched connections and includes detailed assembly drawings to streamline erection. Ultimately, these benefits can help you save money by minimizing labor costs.
