What is a “Pre-Engineered” building?
A Pre-Engineered Building or Metal Building as they are often called is a complete building “package” with engineered components fabricated in a manufacturing plant shipped to a jobsite and erected. The components consist of main frames; beams & columns, secondary members; roof purlins or bar joist and wall framing. The completed structure can be covered in metal panels or with masonry, glass curtinwalls and a variety of other materials.

How is this different from conventional structural steel construction?
In conventional methods, a structural steel frame is erected and other components are used for the secondary members and enclosing the structure. With a “Pre-Engineered” building all the components for a completed structure including exterior wall systems are manufactured and shipped as a complete building package.

When should “Pre-Engineered” construction methods be considered?
Often budget is a determining factor in a building project. Traditionally a pre-engineered building is more cost effective than conventional structural steel systems. With the versatility of a larger spans and open floor space that can be achieved in this type of construction, the needs of our customers can be met without large added cost.

Does Pre-Engineered construction meet building codes?
Yes. The structures are manufactured to meet the specific building codes of the local areas along with the owner’s requirements. Snow loads, live loads, dead loads, wind loads and seismic loading are all considered during the design of the structure. The building members are then custom designed and manufactured for the specific project.

Can the other materials and finishes be used with Pre-Engineered Buildings?
Absolutely! Many have seen a pre-engineered building with metal siding. This may be the most cost effective but, a variety of other materials and finishes can be utilized. We have incorporated single-ply roofing systems, masonry, glass, and a number of other systems to meet our customer’s needs.
