Steel Framed Building Systems

Steel building structures have been around for over a hundred years. Industrial Parks, commercial storage, barns, the Eiffel Tower, and of course, residential usage such as sheds and carport/garages.

Steel framing has always been the most cost-efficient method for any type of building structure. Without sacrificing structural strength, with ease of assembly…which means a much faster building schedule (time is money!) …steel will soon replace today’s very costly use of wood for framing, siding, and roofing. Simply stated, steel framing is much lighter, yet structurally stronger than wood, and faster to frame a house than with standard wood studs.

But steel building doesn’t mean it has to look like a ‘steel building’. We label it a steel building because of its steel framing. Yes, often for commercial, industrial, and agricultural buildings, the use of metal siding and roofing is common to keep costs down and faster completion of the building. However, besides the addition of design options for metal paneling (e.g. simulated wood grain), and roof styles, it is just as easy to use conventional siding/roofing materials. Nearly every aspect of a building project, wiring, plumbing, interior walls, insulation, etc. for a site-built wood building is the same for steel buildings.

In Summary

The greatest advantage of a steel framed building is the cost savings in regard to time and materials! Always consult with the manufacturer, contractor, and check the local building regulations for your project.
