Where Are Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings Used?

Pre-engineered metal buildings are an efficient and affordable construction method, especially compared to traditional construction.

Pre-engineered metal buildings are often used for a wide variety of commercial buildings, but they can be made to fit the needs of any building owner.

Traditional standard buildings are more expensive, harder to change and have longer construction times than pre-engineered steel building systems.

Metal building manufacturers can get you the structure you need faster and cheaper, and it will last much longer.

But where do pre-engineered buildings get used?

We'll talk about that in the article below.

What Is A Pre-Engineered Metal Building?

Pre-engineered metal building systems are constructed with a steel frame system to support a metal roof and wall panels.

They are pre-designed to adhere to the precise dimensions of your project.

Projects adhere to the building owner's needs, but factors like area-specific building codes, potential load problems, and environmental considerations are considered.

Steel structures have the versatility to be fabricated to meet the unique requirements of your project.

The components for the frame of the building are made in a climate-controlled factory and shipped to the job site to be erected.

The frames are often constructed with I-beams, which get their name from their shape.

I-beams are made by welding steel plates together to create a section. This section is then used to build the building's frame.

Different types of pre-engineered buildings can be used for various projects.

 

Advantages Of Pre-Engineered Buildings

PEBs have many advantages over other types of buildings because they can are easily duplicated and scaled up.

 

Cost Efficiency

Steel is made to use the least amount of material at each point along the length of the frame.

This saves about 30% on materials and cuts down on transportation costs.

Pre-engineered buildings also have more predictable costs than buildings built the traditional way.

This gives owners a better idea of what their investment is worth.

 

Reduced Environmental Impact

Pre-engineered buildings use less steel than conventionally built buildings so they have less impact on the environment.

Pre-engineered buildings use less energy than conventional buildings, keep the temperature just right, and don't let the air out.

Building walls can control heat with less insulation than traditional buildings, and roofing systems can reduce solar glare.

 

Construction Time

Pre-engineered building components arrive ready to assemble with no welding or cutting required at the job site.

Pre-engineered metal building construction starts in a climate-controlled factory so you don't have to worry about weather delays.

Pre-engineered metal structures can be assembled on average 50% faster than conventional steel buildings.

Faster construction time also saves on labor costs.

 

Customization

 "Pre-engineered" doesn't mean all of the buildings look the same.

This building type offers many options so you can create unique looks that meet your requirements.

PEBs also have clear span capabilities and an open interior space that allow for almost limitless design options.

Even after being customized, all components will be compatible because of the pre-engineered process.

 

Scalability

Pre-engineered building systems make it easy to expand as businesses grow and space needs change.

New sections can be added to the side or top of an existing building.

Space for future expansion can be included as a design consideration of the original pre-engineered building.

 

Where Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings Are Used

Commercial Aviation Buildings

Pre-engineered metal buildings can be used as commercial Aviation buildings.

They are perfect for aircraft storage because they can be any size, height, width, and depth.

Everything from a private jet terminal to helicopter hangers or corporate aircraft buildings can be built using a Prefab metal building system.

Metal structures also have thermal protection capabilities to maintain the room's environment as per requirement no matter the external weather conditions.

This makes it easier to dry protective coatings used to combat icing and boost aircraft turnaround time.

 

Commercial Retail Applications

Pre-engineered metal buildings can also be used for any specific commercial project.

They can be used for most retail applications, including gas stations, office buildings, manufacturing facilities, retail outlets, and banquet halls.

They are cheaper to build and are the most economical, low-rise buildings perfect for commercial or industrial occupancies.

 

Commercial Storage Facilities

Prefab metal buildings are also great as storage facilities.

They allow the business owners to create the structure they need, and they are protected against pests too.

They can be customized for RV Storage, Self-Storage Facilities, Mini-Storage Warehouses, etc.
