The answer, for durability and strength, is obvious from where we sit. However, there may be benefits to choosing a pole barn over a steel structure when it comes time, price, or utility. Still, we feel it is important to point out aspects of pole barns a consumer should consider before purchasing one.<br />
A Brief Origin Story:<br />
Pole barns have been a hallmark of America’s rural landscape for the better part of 90 years. Post and beam construction has existed for centuries and was a staple of Colonial America. The building of pole barns got its start in the 1930s and has its roots in the economic impacts of the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. Pole barns were constructed from old telephone poles, which were available and affordable, earning them the name, “telephone pole barns.”<br />
Even after the economy recovered, generations of farmers and ranchers continue to use pole barns to store <a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/agricultural-buildings/prefabricated-livestock-shelters/">livestock</a>, equipment and feed. Some are unaware of more durable and cost-effective options because, “<em>if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it</em>.” Right?<br />
Despite the many advancements in the materials and design of pole barns, they are still handicapped by the same structural issues they have always suffered from.<br />
<br />
<h1>
<strong><a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/agricultural-buildings/3-important-things-consider-purchasing-pole-barn/" target="_blank">3 Important Things to Consider Before Purchasing a Pole Barn</a></strong></h1>
<br />
<ol>
<li>Safety:</li>
</ol>
Preserving your investment is key to the success of any farm or ranch, so investing in the safety and durability of your assets protects you and yours.<br />
Wood frame buildings, like pole barns, aren't as fire resistant as steel buildings. Steel is noncombustible and cannot add fuel to a fire, however wood framing is easily ignited and fuels any existing structural fire. According to the <a href="https://www.nfpa.org/News-and-Research/Fire-statistics-and-reports/Fire-statistics/Fires-by-property-type/Storage/Barns">National Fire Protection Association</a>, from 2006 to 2010, there were 830 structure fires in farming buildings (properties defined in NFIRS as: livestock or poultry storage, including barns, stockyards, and animal pens) reported to U.S. municipal fire departments per year, resulting in $28 million of direct property damage.<br />
<br />
Next, pole barns are usually not recommended for livestock, because there is a risk of toxic and unsanitary conditions due to the materials used and the style of construction. Pole barns have truss-type rafters which take up building space and create the ideal place for birds to roost, nest, and spread their droppings onto your livestock, increasing the chances of spreading Avian flu. Remember that some <a href="chrome-extension://cbnaodkpfinfiipjblikofhlhlcickei/src/pdfviewer/web/viewer.html?file=http://www.cfsph.iastate.edu/FastFacts/pdfs/avian_influenza_F.pdf">strains of the virus</a> can affect mammals, such as pigs, cats, horses and dogs, not just Poultry.<br />
<ol start="2">
<li>Environmental Impacts</li>
</ol>
Wood construction isn’t a sustainable resource by any measure. According to the Census Bureau, the average American home built in 2013 was 2,600 square feet, and it would have required 16,380 board feet to build! Consider a mature pine with a merchantable height of 80’ and a diameter of 2’. Using the method detailed above, you will find that its lumber yield is about 3,015 of board feet. If it takes 16,380 board feet to build the average home, this would mean it takes almost 5 mature pines to fill that demand. On the other hand, steel buildings are made from 100% recycled and reclaimed steel.<br />
<ol start="3">
<li>Cheaper is usually more expensive.</li>
</ol>
Pole barns may be cheaper to build, but the average steel frame barn is still usually 60% less than traditional construction. Unlike Pole Barns though, steel buildings are built to last—most steel manufactures offer a 25-year warranty—and end up being cheaper once you factor in long term costs. Steel buildings often see insurance savings over wood structures by as much as 30%. The savings does not stop there: Unlike steel buildings, which sit on a concrete foundation, pole barns use wooden poles which are buried deep in the ground. Wooden poles will shift and eventually decay. Because of foundation poles shifting and rotting, they must be replaced every five to seven years; an expensive and time-consuming process.<br />
A pole barn is not considered a permanent structure. In fact, some building departments classify pole barns as an accessory structure- meaning, a structure having a minimal <strong>value</strong> and <strong>utility</strong>. i.e., parking, storage and other uninhabitable uses, such as garages, carports, storage sheds, hay sheds and the like. Nothing is more permanent than 100% American made Steel.<br />
Conclusion:<br />
Pole barns are neither as safe, nor as environmentally friendly as a steel building, and once you factor in long term costs usually end up costing more. We understand and appreciate how and where pole barns may be used over a steel structure but want our customers to understand the risks involved in owning one.<br />

When thinking of prefabricated <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">steel buildings</span>, you probably picture storage buildings, garages, or workshops. Very rarely are prefabricated steel buildings associated with anything else, which is a shame because they are incredibly useful for a variety of applications, one of which being the best kennel for your dogs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Here are just a few of the reasons why steel buildings make the perfect dog kennel.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<h1 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #585851; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 26px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 500; line-height: 28px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/steel-buildings/heres-why-you-should-use-a-steel-buildings-as-a-dog-kennel/" target="_blank">They Provide Insulation in Cold Climates</a></span></h1>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
If you live in an area known for blistering cold winters, and if you must keep your dog outside, leaving them to fend for themselves with only a dog house can be incredibly dangerous for them. Luckily, steel buildings can be insulated keeping the inside temperatures much warmer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Additionally, choosing to have insulation will help keep down the noise from your dogs inside the building. If they’re prone to barking up a storm and you don’t want any more complaints from the neighbors, a steel building with insulation is an excellent choice.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">

<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #585851; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 500; line-height: 44px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Steel Buildings Are Incredibly Durable</span></h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Unlike a traditional dog house or kennel, your dogs will have a difficult time chewing through a prefabricated steel building. They can also stand up to the forces of nature such as rain, wind, snow or hail. If your area is prone to severe weather, you should consider using a steel building as a kennel to keep your pets safe from mother nature.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #585851; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 500; line-height: 32px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Installation is Quick</span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
When you decide that you want to start a new project or add an extension to your current kennel, the installation process is incredibly quick. You don’t have to shell out the big bucks like you would for a traditional building construction project and, depending on the crew, they can have your building up and ready to go in the same day!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">More Room to Run</span></h4>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
If you’re using just a regular outdoor chain link dog kennel, your dogs are probably pretty cramped, not to mention cold, too! Installing a prefabricated steel building on your property will allow your dogs more space to sleep and run around inside all the while staying protected from the elements -staying nice and warm during even the coldest nights.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Completely Customizable</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
One of the best parts of choosing a steel building is that there are many different options to choose from. You can choose to have insulation pre-installed to keep your animals warm; you can have skylights added, so your animals aren’t completely in the dark and you can also customize all of the dimensions to fit your needs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
This is a great option if you already have an existing dog kennel and are looking to expand upon it. The manufacturer can adjust the size to fit your existing kennel to create one seamless kennel for your dogs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Steel buildings are an incredibly flexible and inexpensive option for a variety of different uses. If you want to expand your current dog kennel or build an entirely new one, a prefabricated steel building is an excellent choice.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">

Bees have communicated with humans for thousands of years to keep them indoors. Every year, beekeepers remove honey bees from homes and buildings at a surprising pace. Science now confirms what bees have been attempting to communicate with humans. Today, over 100,000 hives are kept indoors in America alone. Canadians have wintered most of their bees for decades.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Here are some reasons to consider overwintering bees in a prefabricated S<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">teel Building</span>.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #585851; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 500; line-height: 44px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Food:</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Prefabricated steel buildings offer a secure and warm space for beekeepers to tend to their hives. Feeding bees in the depths of winter can be difficult and sometimes dangerous. How much food required to sustain your bee hives depend on your geographic, how long you plan to overwinter and the number of bees in your hive. Make sure your colony have adequate food for the winter for it is necessary to the survival of your hive.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #585851; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 500; line-height: 32px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Ventilation:</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Ventilating accumulated carbon dioxide produced by bees is important. Steel buildings affords beekeepers the ability to ventilate their hives without adding more barriers or safeguards against foreign hazards such as insects or field mice looking for warmth.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">

Protection:</h4>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Bees kept in a steel building can better manage their desired cluster temperature avoiding the need to wrap the hive with hay or tarpaper. Note that wrapping your hives can cause other issues. Steel buildings offer further defense against invading creatures which can enter hives and cause damage–avoiding the need for harsh pesticides. Lastly, housing hives inside allows for drainage of chilly air away from the hive and shields them from direct winds.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">

Moisture control:</h5>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Steel buildings are excellent for controlling moisture because they support most types of <a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/prefabricated-buildings/getting-right-metal-building-insulation-saves-energy-lowers-energy-bill/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0fbcf5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">insulation </a>and climate control systems. (HVAC) Out in the wild, beekeepers go to extremes to reduce moisture in their hives caused by both snow and water vapors generated by the bees. Keepers use moisture boards above the inner cover to absorb any remaining ambient moisture. Others fill shims with wood shavings or stuff the lid with burlap sacks; of which can fall off by strong winds or animals searching for food and shelter.</div>

Bees need plenty of food, ventilation, moisture control and protection from the wind and from invading creatures, to get through even the mildest of winters. We have imposed artificial hives and excessive requirements on bees. Don’t assume your bees will make it through the winter without your help. <a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/prefabricated-buildings/4-reasons-to-choose-steel-vs-concrete/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0fbcf5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">Steel building technology and design</a> have grown from 6,000 square foot to 60,000 square foot structures in just a few years. The repaid expansion of steel building technology and flexible design allows for beekeepers to overwinter hundreds of thousands of hives in a secure and temperature controlled buildings for winters to come.</div>

From first-time builders to the urban planner, when it comes to prefabricated buildings, there are a few key points every non-industry guy and gal should know.</div>
<h1 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #585851; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 26px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 500; line-height: 28px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
In the golden age of automation, efficiency is key. Due to advanced CAD/CAM processes, fabrication of <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">steel buildings</span> produce minimal raw material waste yet still able to meet the strictest strength-to-weight ratios. In fact, steel has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any material, 25 times greater than wood. A lighter frame translates into a more cost-effective foundation and the ability to add other materials with less concern for the completed building weight.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Steel buildings are designed and pre-built for easy reassembly at the manufacturing plant. Site preparation, such as the preparation and foundation placement, can be completed as the building is being manufactured. Once complete, the pre-engineered steel building is shipped with required hardware to the job site. Note: Skilled labor might be required, but, the time to completion is shorter than if fabrication took place in the field. Shorter construction times translate into lower labor costs and an earlier return on your investment.</div>

Spatial design can be reworked by moving interior walls, adding or subtracting wall and floor coverings, or changing openings. If your client needs more space, you can add to the building through enclosing more floor space or by building upwards. More space can be added at ground level by adding more units onto an existing building, expanding the footprint. In each case, a steel building manufacturer can precisely fabricate new members and frame elements to fit the existing building.</div>

Roof snow which excessed specified <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">prefabricated steel building</span> design loading can cause significant distress to your building. Snow can build up in areas around firewalls, parapet walls, valleys, dormers, and on lower roof levels where a roof step occurs. Since the thickness of snow varies depending on weather conditions during and after a snow fall, it is difficult to determine a single value for the acceptable height of snow that a prefabricated steel buildings can safely support. The most sever condition occur when rain falls on a roof already loaded by heavy snow and ice. Absorbing rain water, adding roughly 62.4 pounds per cubic foot, or 5.2 pound per inch of depth. And Never send one person alone on a roof to remove snow</div>

<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Get to Digging – </span>Visually inspect the roof to find any unusual bends or deflections of frames, purlins, or joists. Starting in this area, approximately remove one-half of the snow depth in a pattern that does not cause an unbalanced loading condition on the surrounding frames or purlins.</li>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Remove snow from the eave towards the ridge along the building width, sliding snow off the roof over the gutter. On gabled buildings, remove the snow on both sides of the ridge at the same time. Remove the remaining half of the snow depth in the same manner as described.</div>

</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Self-supported hydraulic doors have an all steel frame construction and are engineered to your building code. Bottom of the door jamb is anchor bolted to the finished floor and the top of the door jamb is braced back to the aircraft hangar. As a result, the door imposes no load onto the building. However, wind load is transferred through the door jambs into your finished floor and building frame. The hinges design guaranties your door won’t fail in freezing weather. There are some drawbacks. SSHD require 6 ½ inches of headspace. In addition, approximately 1/3 of the door pushes back inside the building.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
These doors are hoisted up overhead, either like a garage door, or stacked. Vertical lifting doors are electrically motorized, sturdy and dependable. However, they are more expensive and may require a service contract to maintain.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
These doors are vertically opening doors, which fold in two down the center and are typically outfitted with an electric motor and have a long history of dependable use, however, may require service if they are jammed.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 10px 20px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Typically, folding fabric doors open vertically on rollers at a price that won’t kill your wallet. The low price comes at a cost, effecting the security of the product, although high-end fabric door manufacturers address this issue.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 10px 20px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Hangar openings can also be fitted with small doors in the center and at the top of the framed opening that allow the tail to fit through the door, called tailgates. This come in handy if you need to house an aircraft whose tail-height exceeds hangar eave-height. Additionally, there now exist several types of door motion mechanisms, both manual and electric. You should spend time considering these options rather than jumping the gun when choosing what type of door to use for your steel building.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
One of the first steps you will need to make is the selection of a suitable location of your riding arena. You will want to select a site that has the following, as a minimum:</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 10px 20px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Firm and level ground</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Proximity to utilities</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Easy access</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Good natural drainage</li>
</ul>

Benefits of Prefabricated Steel Structure</h4>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Potential for future expansion</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Clear-Span:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Modern pre-engineered buildings allow for the maximum amount of unobstructed riding space; no columns, pillars or poles to get in the way. Buildings can be engineered to be 200′ wide with an infinite length.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Building:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Most pre-engineered steel structures can be delivered to your site pre-drilled, cut, welded and ready to assemble. Additionally, your prefab steel building should come with an instruction manual, like a large 3D jigsaw puzzle, to assist in the erection of the structure in a step-by-step method. Easy construction is one of the decisive advantages to building with steel with 70 percent of the work being done offsite, many consumers can build the structure themselves, saving big money on labor costs!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Prefabricated riding arenas are also very durable. As a result, most manufacturing companies are willing to offer multi-year warranties on arenas and arena barn combination buildings. It’s not unusual to find 25-year warranties on rust perforation, as well as 40-year warranties on wall coating and trims, while some special products such as fasteners can even come with a lifetime warranty.</div>

<a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/real-estate/prefabricated-steel-buildings-and-the-real-estate-market/" target="_blank">Delays and shortages of construction materials and workers:</a><span id="goog_1110847211"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_1110847212"></span></h1>
Delays are common in construction projects. For example, more than four thousand construction projects from the UK and Europe were rarely completed on schedule in 2017. There are many causes for such project delays, of which shortage and delay in material supply are among the most notable in many studies. (1) Here in the United States, there are only a few construction materials that are locally available. However, local supplies cannot always meet the demand of local construction. So, how can we continue to grow at a healthy and sustainable rate<em>? </em><strong>Steel Buildings</strong> offer advantages over traditional building materials such as fast construction, flexible design and reusable resources.<br />
<h2>
Fast Construction:</h2>
All the steel components are fabricated off-site and delivered to your job site. Once delivered, contractors and erectors begin the assembly process with all the different steel members bolted together. As a result, businesses can start operations faster which will help them to see a return on their investment sooner than with traditional construction.<br />
<h3>
Flexible Design:</h3>
One benefit of steel structures is that they can be easily changed or extended based on what the future needs are. Affording owners, the ability to expand and grow without having to rebuild or move. Additionally, you can sell to a different organization, who would then want to make their own changes to the building.<br />
<h4>
Renewable Resource:</h4>
With the focus now on sustainability and reduction of carbon emissions, steel provide the perfect green solution. Steel can be reused any number of times without the risk of losing either the quality or the strength. According to the MBMA, Structural steel retains an extremely high overall recycle rate which, in 2014, stood at 98%. This is because steel scrap is an essential and valuable raw material in making new metal buildings. More than a billion tons of steel have been recycled by the North American steel industry since 1988.<br />
<h5>
Bonus:</h5>
Steel structures are constructed almost wholly out of steel. Unlike wooden structures, which are made of combustible materials. The International Building Code (IBC) recognizes that steel construction is non-combustible. Understand that this designation does not mean that metal buildings are exempt from all fire protection requirements, the code recognizes significant advantages for using non-combustible construction compared to wood-framed components.<br />
Conditions which effect fire protection in all buildings is the intended end use, occupancy and site location of a building. For example, fire safety requirements for buildings based on how close they are to adjacent buildings or property lines. The risk of fire spreading from building to building decreases as the distance between buildings increases. Likewise, the fire-protection rating requirements go down with this lower risk, with the strictest requirements relating to combustible construction such as wood. Additional requirements are set for fire ratings based on the intended use of the building, or occupancy type and the construction type, such as wood, steel or concrete. (2)<br />

<strong><a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/church-buildings/a-prefab-building-for-a-house-of-worship/" target="_blank">Prefabricated House of Worship.</a></strong></h1>
Whether you are looking to expand to a larger house of worship or break ground for the first time, a prefabricated steel building is most likely your answer. Regardless of your <a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/prefabricated-metal/metal-church-buildings/">faith</a>, a prefabricated building will transform your dreams into a reality while keeping it affordable. Below are a few reasons to consider a prefabricated steel building for a<strong> house of worship.</strong><br />
<h2>
<strong>Custom Design:</strong></h2>
A prefabricated building can be custom designed to your congregation’s needs, ensuring that a prefabricated building can serve the congregations for years to come. The appearance of your house of worship can be customized. There are several types of external finishes, including brickwork, stone, masonry, wood siding, stucco, and stained-glass windows if you’d like! Additionally, prefab steel buildings can accommodate most uses, such as:<br />
<ul>
<li>Meeting halls</li>
<li>Recreational centers</li>
<li>Classrooms</li>
<li>Nursery or preschool</li>
<li>Dining hall</li>
<li>Offices</li>
</ul>
<br />
Many of these additions can be achieved with a pre-fabricated steel structure.<br />
<a href="http://info.coastalsteelstructures.com/free-anatomy-of-a-steel-building-guide" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="Anatomy of a Steel Building" class="alignright wp-image-2304 size-medium" height="72" src="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Click-Here-to-Download-your-Free-Anatomy-of-a-Steel-Building-300x72.png" width="300" /></a><br />
<h3>
<strong>Future proof:</strong></h3>
Size and scale doesn’t matter initially because steel buildings can be expanded easily to accommodate future growth and designed for a congregation of any size. Prefab steel buildings require minimal maintenance which lowers costs overtime. Steel buildings are also energy efficient, fire, termite and mold resistant.<br />
<h4>
<strong>Durable:</strong></h4>
Choosing a <strong>prefabricated steel building</strong> offers a high-quality, <a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/prefabricated-buildings/4-reasons-to-choose-steel-vs-concrete/">strong and sturdy structure</a> at an affordable price. Many prefabricated buildings are engineered to withstand earthquakes, gale-force winds, and even hurricanes. A prefabricated house of worship will put your congregation in safe hands. In fact, houses of worship are often used as Shelters-in-place (SIP) in hurricane-prone areas of the United States.<br />
<h5>
Savings:</h5>
Prefab building is significantly more affordable when compared to more traditional options such as brick and wood. Steel is relatively inexpensive which makes for a more affordable product. The cost of labor is significantly less because the components for a metal building are prefabricated. Anyone from metal erectors to congregation members can assist with the assembly of your prefab house of worship. In comparison to traditional construction methods, prefabricated steel buildings can be erected twice as fast. In many instances the fast assembly process makes it more convenient because it’s less of a distraction to the everyday environment around the church. This means less time and money spent on your new house of worship and more time in it.<br />

Indoor Sports Complex</h1>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
An indoor sports complex is perfect for indoor track, basketball, indoor football, gymnastics, soccer, lacrosse, tennis, equestrian facilities and professional sporting teams. Let us go over a few things to consider when purchasing.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Zoning:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Ensuring that your <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">indoor Sports Complex</span> is <a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/metal-buildings/what-is-the-cost-of-a-metal-building-kit/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0fbcf5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">properly zoned</a> is an absolute must. This can impact you beyond being able to build. Your building department should be the first stop before purchasing a Sports Complex. Your local building department can help guide you with all the necessary rules for permitting your project.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Parking requirements:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Some would think this is not a big deal, however, parking extends beyond accommodating customer’s cars. Parking lots can be used to host events outside of your prefab sports complex. Additionally, the added space could be used to extend a game or indoor activity from inside to out.</div>

In most cases, due to increasingly stringent building codes, your permit/building department will require the <a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/prefabricated-buildings/getting-right-metal-building-insulation-saves-energy-lowers-energy-bill/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0fbcf5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">building to have insulation</a> to permit and ultimately build. Furthermore, insulation has excellent acoustic properties. This way you can keep the game going late into the night and not be a bother to the surrounding business/community. Lastly, consider a heavy-duty vinyl or PVC faced insulation for durability and longevity.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
There are several types of panels that can be used as exterior/interior walls and roof. Almost every kind of panels utilize exposed fasteners, which are used to attach panels to a surface, structure or each other. For the sake of time and to not bore you to death, we will focus on the most commonly used exposed fastener panels, PBR (Purlin Bearing Rib) and R panels, paint and protective coatings and some best practices. If you haven’t caught up with the rest of the blogs in this series, <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Anatomy of a Steel Building, </span><a href="http://info.coastalsteelstructures.com/anatomy-of-a-steel-building-a-four-part-series" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0fbcf5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">click here</a><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">.</span></div>

PBR and R Panel:</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
PBR and R metal panels are the most commonly used for a wide variety of architectural, agricultural, commercial and industrial prefabricated metal buildings. PBR and R panels are low-maintenance and durable. PBR panels adds extra protection against the elements by including a purlin bearing leg, which overlaps between panels sealing out moisture and wind. See detail below.</div>

Paint and Protective Coatings.</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
For both protection and decoration, nearly all prefab steel structure companies offer some type of finish for metal roofing and wall sheeting. Here are a few of the most common painted and protective coating systems used for roofing and wall sheeting.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Galvalume:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Most roof and wall sheeting are constructed from commercial grade steel. The steel panels are then coated with Galvalume. (consisting of 55% aluminum, 43.4% zinc and 1.6% silicon over the base metal) This coating has superior corrosion resistance, which can more than double the life span of a metal panel</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Kynar:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Kynar resin or PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), offers long-life protection for aluminum, galvanized and anodized steel. Kynar paint systems can withstand harsh ultra-violet rays of the sun and the degrading effects of weather extremes from the equator to the arctic. As will most finishes, Kynar paint can be washed with conventional detergents and solvents. Additionally, panels with Kynar usually come with a longer limited warranty on fading, chalking, cracking, and airborne pollutants.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Silicone polyester:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Silicon Polyester is applied to steel sheeting and then baked on for durability and longevity. There are typically more color options with Silicon Polyester than with Kynar, however Silicon Polyester systems usually offer a 25-year finish warranty. Check with your steel structure provider or manufacture for details.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #585851; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 26px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">
Best practice:</h4>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
If you do not plan to erect shortly after you receive your metal building, ensure panels are stored properly to prevent moisture damage. Elevate one end of your steel sheeting bundle to allow moisture to drain. You can use a 2”x4” or wood blocking to elevate the one end (Make sure to separate wall and roof sheeting). Loosely cover with waterproof tarp to allow proper air circulation and inspect daily and dry if necessary. Additionally, make sure that the foundation is square, level, and correct to the out-to-out steel line dimensions. Lastly, prevailing wind, main traffic area, etc. should be taken into consideration when sheeting roof and walls.</div>

One of the most appealing aspects of a prefabricated metal building are the host of accessory options to choose from. From bikes to trains to video games, the range and function of accessories for prefabricated metal buildings are almost endless. In this, the third in a four part blog series of the <a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/anatomy-of-a-steel-building/anatomy-of-a-steel-building-a-four-part-series/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0fbcf5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">anatomy of a steel building</a>, we will discuss the main accessories most prefabricated metal buildings can’t do without and a few we think you should know. And if you haven’t read part 1 and 2 of this blog series go back to get helpful information and tips to further your understanding of the <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">anatomy of a steel building.</span></div>

Walk Door and Optional Accessories:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Standard walkdoors are the most common type of accessory. Pre-assembled and constructed from 20-to-16 gaged galvanized steel and include an insulated core. The R-Value should be considered when used in colder climates. Check with your prefabricated steel building manufacturer for details. Size options for walkdoors are usually 3’x 7’ or 6’ x 7’ commonly referred to as 3070 or 6070. Leaf options range from Flush, Half-Glass and Narrow. All walkdoors should be all keyed with Commercial Grade 2 entry lockset and are ADA compliant.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Tip: Please note that standard walkdoors are not wind rated. For pricing and availably on wind rated walkdoors, ask your project manager or coordinator.</div>

Gutters and Downspouts</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Gutters and downspouts protect from water damage by diverting rainwater, melting snow and heavy condensation from the roof by diverting it elsewhere. Failure to use gutters and downspouts can affect the quality and durability of your prefab building.</div>

Translucent and Wall Light Panel Options</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 10px 20px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Translucent Panels take the place of a standard roof panel allowing for natural sunlight to enter, cutting down on energy consumption. Translucent panels come in both insulated and non-insulated options and are 10’x8” in size.</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Note: Classic Roof Translucent Panels cannot be placed from side to side, end to end, or at the eave of a building.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Commonly used in lieu of windows to allow for even more light to enter. Size range from 5’x4” to 10’x8” for both Accent and Classic wall types.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Note: Wall Light Panels cannot run the full length or width of a building and usually start roughly 5’ below the eave and terminate between a start and stop run of wall sheeting.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">

One accessory that was not mentioned, however, needs a shout out, are roll up/garage doors. These door systems are a must have for any prefab metal building. We often suggest getting your doors locally, mainly because local companies offer maintenance packages and service calls with purchase; check with your local supplier.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">

We hope you found this to be helpful, and that we answered a question or two. Please note we only mentioned a few must haves as there are several options to choose from; please contact your building manufacturer for a list of options available. Next we will discuss the different types of roof and wall sheeting used by prefabricated metal buildings. And as promised, a gift from us to you, we think might be of some value. So stay tuned….</div>

Last week, in our 4-part blog series titled, The <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Anatomy of a Steel Building</span>:Rigid Frames, Purlins & Girts,<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </span> we discussed the different types of first and secondary support systems in a prefab steel building. We suggest going back and reading that post once you’re done <a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/anatomy-of-a-steel-building/anatomy-of-a-steel-building-first-and-secondary-support-systems/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0fbcf5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">here</a>. This week’s topic of discussion is two standard types of roofing systems, the differences between them, and the pros and cons for both.</div>

Standing Seam:</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The standing seam panel is amongst the most versatile, durable and maintenance-free types of roofing system. Standing seam panels are installed using a clip and interlock design which conceals fasteners and prevents water from leaking in. See figure below of a typical detail for a double lock panel.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Please note this is just one of many types of standing seam panels. Check with the steel structure company you are working with to see other available options.</div>

Screw Down Roof:</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Like most standing seam panels, screw down panels attached to a prefab steel building with fasteners. However, despite being made from the same material, the two are considerably different. As the name implies, the panels of a screw down roof are,…well,…..screwed down – leaving the fasteners exposed. The panels overlap each other almost in a layered like fashion while the fasteners attach the roof sheeting to the main structure and each other. (More details to come with specific information for unloading, storing and installing roof panels best practice) See figure below of a typical detail of a roof panel.</div>

Make sure you understand your needs and the needs of the project before deciding which roof system to go with. Are you in colder climate and require an uncompressed, high R-value insulation? Does your city have requirements as to which type of roof system you can use? Is money an issue? As always, please make sure you are communicating with your local permit/building departments and project manager or coordinator you are working with from the prefabricated metal building company.</div>

Rigid frames are the main support system of a prefabricated metal building and is the most crucial component of the <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">anatomy of a steel building.</span> Nothing comes close for both lateral and vertical loads, especially for clear span conditions, then a rigid frame. The base of the rigid frame column is attached to a concrete foundation with anchor bolts.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Additionally, the strength and durability of using rigid frames in the end walls means you have greater design options. This is optional and might not be standard with most buildings as the end walls are usually constructed with end wall post and beams.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #585851; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 500; line-height: 32px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Let’s move on to the secondary support systems of the anatomy of a steel building.</h3>

Purlins & Girts:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Purlins</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Purlins are horizontal members or “studs” that run down the length of the roof. They attach the main frames, were the roof sheeting is then fastened. The cold rolled form sections are pre-punched to assist with easy erection. The Purlins are coated in hot dip galvanized or gray/red oxide primer.</div>

Like purlins, girts assist in bracing the structure. They run horizontal attaching to the sidewall and/or end-wall columns. Girts can be rolled formed “ZEE” bypass or “ZEE” flush (Figure 1B) and are coated in hot dip galvanized or gray/red oxide primer.</div>

In short, rigid frames are the main support system of a prefabricated metal building. Purlins and girts assist in bracing the structure and act as an anchor point for roof and wall sheeting to attach. Next week we will describe the difference between Standing Seam and screw down roofing systems.</div>

<a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/metal-buildings/what-is-the-cost-of-a-metal-building-kit/" target="_blank">The True Cost of a Metal Building Kit</a></h1>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Some customers are surprised to learn that the true price of a <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">metal building kit</span> is more than just the sticker price of the building. It’s not as if you can see what the neighbor spent on their metal building for an ACCURATE picture. So we’ve compiled a list of factors that can impact the price of a metal building.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #585851; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 500; line-height: 44px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Building Size:</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
As they say, size matters. And this could not apply more than to a metal building, as the size of a building increase so will the price.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 10px 20px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Length</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The longer a building the more <a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/anatomy-of-a-steel-building/anatomy-of-a-steel-building-first-and-secondary-support-systems/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0fbcf5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">primary support members or rigid frames</a> required. This may also affect how the engineering of the building is done.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 10px 20px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Height</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Factors such as the height of a metal building kit increase wind exposure, increasing the need for additional support members, bracing or strapping. This might apply to the pitch of the building as well.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 10px 20px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Width</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
If the width of a building extends beyond the tolerance thresholds, specialized components such as Jack-beams or a row of interior columns might be required.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Tip: Adding a row of columns may reduce the price of a building in areas with heavy snow, however, will interfere with the clear span nature of a metal building.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Another factor to consider are the number of <a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/anatomy-of-a-steel-building/anatomy-of-a-steel-building-accessories-prefab-buildings-cant-do-without/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0fbcf5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">accessories</a> you need or want with your metal building kit. The amount and location of walkdoors and windows can impact the price. Do you plan on <a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/prefabricated-buildings/getting-right-metal-building-insulation-saves-energy-lowers-energy-bill/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0fbcf5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">insulating</a> the building? If so, at what R-value? Can the <a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/anatomy-of-a-steel-building/anatomy-of-a-steel-building-standing-seam-and-screw-down-roofing-systems/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0fbcf5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">roof system</a> of your building support a high R-value insulation package?</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #585851; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 500; line-height: 32px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Framed openings:</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The size and location of the framed openings may impact the price of your steel building kit. The term “Swiss cheese” comes to mind when we see a building with a framed opening in every bay on all four sides. Metal building kits require wind support systems which are usually occupied in a bay without framed openings, walkdoors or windows. Depending on your design needs, standard X-bracing might be upgraded to a more expensive system to accommodate your design needs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #585851; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 26px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">
Code compliance:</h4>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
This one gets people every time. Your building department should be the first stop before purchasing a metal building kit. Your local building department can help guide you with all the necessary guidelines for permitting your building. They will provide you with the required International Building Codes (IBC), local code requirements, environmental issues such as, water drainage or protected wild life that may live on your property, and zoning.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Building location:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Location, location, location! Where you plan to erect your building plays a key role and can increase the total dollar amount of your building. Take zoning for instance. Depending on the building use, you might not be able to have a pipe manufacturing facility in an area zoned residential. In some cases, you might need to pay to have the location rezoned for the intended use.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Elevation can affect the amount of snow fall or wind exposure. Resulting in additional structural materials to support said location. Even the proximity of your metal building kit to an existing structure can have unforeseen financial impacts due to drift and seismic activity. As always, check with your local building department for further guidance.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Foundation Design:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Most steel manufacturers will provide column reactions and anchor bolt locations in a document referred to as the AB or Anchor Bolt plan. And that is about as far as it goes. You’ll still need foundation design and, to include but not limited to, anchor bolts, as most steel building manufactures do not provide this as a standard service, and a contractor to perform the work.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Construction</span>:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The purchase price of metal building kit usually DOES NOT include erection of the building, interior finish work, electrical, plumbing etc. You should expect to pay $4-5 a square foot on average.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Note: This may not include concrete for the foundation</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Unloading of the steel:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Most metal building kit manufacturers require you to have a forklift and operator on site to unload the building upon delivery. Not a very costly expense, however, an expense all the same to consider.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Market forces:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
There are several forces which influence the price of steel such as, the price of oil, arguably the strongest factor in the price of steel, cost of raw materials, supply and demand, and if the steel was made in America or imported. These and more can influence the price of steel.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Ultimately, there are several factors to consider when purchasing a prefab metal kit. Size, location, use, local and national codes, supply and demand and construction cost all play a role in the overall actual cost of a metal building kit.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">

Steel is one of the best construction materials for storage of an investment like an aircraft. In many cases insurance premiums will drop if you’re using prefabricated aircraft hangars. The fact that the aircraft is protected from the elements, including fire damage, is a major plus to insurance companies.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Strength: </span>Steel is one of the strongest materials available on the market. Steel structures provide major stability and great resilience from major winds. Using a prefabricated metal building mitigates uncertainty. This includes the straight walls, square corners, and sturdy studs or joists. Although prefabricated steel buildings are very light in weight they are always bolted into a concrete foundation making them more secure.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Durability: </span>Prefabricated aircraft hangars made of steel are resistant to many things including mold, mildew, or termites. Steel won’t warp over time nor will it become saturated with water damage. This creates the ideal opportunity for a pilot or a company to save on maintenance costs of the structure.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Speed of Construction: </span>Pre-fabricated steel buildings are manufactured with laser cutting tools build for precision, pre-drilled and pre-welded parts. This allows the erection of the building to be done very quickly on your prefabricated airplane hangar.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Customizable Designs*: </span>Most modern prefabricated airplane hangars can be custom designed to your own specification. You can choose colors, styles of trim, and other finishes. The doors and the door mechanisms can be customized to your own needs as well.</li>

The <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Man Cave</span>. The Bro Den. The Guy Sty. Most men long for a place to call their own. A place we can disconnect, kick back, and enjoy life. A place to keep all our favorite stuff and do what we want. From football games to jam sessions, video games to action movies, we need a space free from the wife’s finishing touches. No room in the house for your male person cave? Fear no more, bro… Prefabricated structures are here to make your dreams come true.</div>

Here are our top 5 items we think are required for the ultimate Man Cave:</h2>

<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">A Sign – The quintessential Man Cave accessory. Custom made or store bought, a sign can be <a href="http://lovehomedesigns.com/man-cave-ideas/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0fbcf5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">made </a>or purchased to let your guests know exactly where they are. Announce house rules, or team favorites, signs let everyone know what’s up. And don’t forget the exit sign, telling friends to come back, with a six pack.</li>
</ol>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">

<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The Bar- Men need brew. Men get thirsty. Men drink stuff. Soda, water, beer, whiskey, energy drinks, what have you- your man cave needs to be able to provide beverages. And, besides the drink, having the ability to have friends pull up a chair and sit at your bar is just dope. How many life struggles are discussed over the comfort of camaraderie at a bar. What if that bar was your own, in your own Man Cave.</li>
</ol>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">

<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Furnishings- Finally one room in the house where you have the first and final say. You want leather lazy boy chairs, or a bat man lamp shade. DO IT!! Be sure to have enough comfortable seating for all your buds to enjoy, while chilling in your Man Cave.</li>

<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Game Room- Poker table, pool table, dart board, foosball, pin ball machine, whatever tickles your inner gamer, be sure to have it in your Man Cave. These classic games are tried and true, and the ultimate Man Cave staples.</li>

<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Television- Let’s face it, we live in the technology world. So, obviously your man cave needs a proper television to complete the room. The upgrades here are endless, so it’s up to you on how big you go. Smart TV, LED, OLED, 4K, HDR, 4K Ultra HD, or even just the old TV that didn’t make the cut in the rest of the house. Doesn’t matter. Just get a TV in your Man Cave. It’s a necessity.</li>
</ol>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #585851; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 500; line-height: 32px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Not Just a Man Cave!</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
This is just the start of the possibilities for your Man Cave. Having the added space can be used for an array of things, from an out of town guest, to <a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/prefabricated-metal/residential-buildings/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0fbcf5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">large house parties</a>. Having a prefabricated structure on your property is one of the most cost-efficient ways to create more space. Not only will it add value to your home, but also value to your life.</div>

Steel vs Concrete</h1>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Living in South Florida means year-round-sunshine, beautiful beaches and being surrounded by concrete structures; no thanks to all the hurricanes we see. Knowing what I know about new, or old for that matter, construction leads me to believe that many developers, contractors and investors might not know the inherent benefits to a solid steel structure. So we put together 4 reasons to choose <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">steel vs concrete. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">

1. Savings (Both time and money):</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
As with most things in life, cost plays a significant role in any new construction project. metal vs concrete can be less expensive to build and maintain. Less structural members are required due to the high strength nature of steel. Which means fewer materials needed to erect a steel structure which saves time and money on construction cost and labor.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #585851; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 500; line-height: 32px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
2. Design:</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
When it comes to design and having to choose between steel vs concrete, structural steel can be developed with almost any <a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/church-buildings/custom-prefabricated-steel-churches/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0fbcf5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">design in mind</a>. Stone, wood and other materials can be incorporated into the structure with ease. Need to install a large bifold hanger door? Want the outer finished in cultured stone with 10’ tall parapets? A steel structure can handle such design requests.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #585851; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 500; line-height: 32px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
3. Durability:</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Steel is dimensionally more durable than concrete. Steel will not warp, split or crack when exposed to the elements. When concrete and concrete block are exposed to moisture they will shrink and form cracks.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #585851; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 26px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;">
4. Eco-friendly:</h4>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Concrete is primarily made from <a href="http://www.npr.org/2017/07/21/538472671/world-faces-global-sand-shortage" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0fbcf5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;">sand and stone</a>. And, once concrete and concrete block are constructed they cannot be recycled or reused. On the other hand, nearly 100% of steel structures are made from recycled steel and can be reused well after the building’s lifespan.</div>

So, to recap, in choosing to use steel vs concrete you are saving money and shorting your construction time. Additionally, you can design your building to meet your needs and overall appearance while extending the lifecycle of your building. And most importantly, by choosing steel over concrete you are limiting your impact on the planet by keeping green.</div>

In the hustle and bustle of their daily lives, consumers try and simplify things. They go to stores that have everything they could be possibly need because there is simply not enough time in the day. Businesses are starting to pick up on the needs of their shoppers and adding a more diverse inventory to their stores.<br /> Construction companies are jumping on this band wagon of having a one stop shop as well. Steel Buildings, in particular, are offering a wide range of services that will allow the customer to feel more at ease and not as stressed when purchasing and erecting a building. Building manufacturers are first and foremost trying to up their sales within the market, especially with steel being at such high price these days. This also allows their customers the ease of only having to deal with one person throughout the whole ordeal of creating the building and figuring out what is needed. In previous years, small business owners had a guy for this or that but today it has become more difficult to seek out the proper accessories and manual laborers to get jobs done.<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Turnkey for Business, Not Just Residential</h2>
When speaking about <strong>turnkey</strong> it is normal to think about the housing market, coming fully built and fully finished. This is not the case in the Prefabricated Steel Building industry. Prefab metal companies may be able to furnish a facility for you if that is what you desire, even though it is not their forte. Basically, what is happening when you purchase a turnkey prefabricated steel building is that you are purchasing all items that are needed for erection through one source. (Which allows for small business to still flourish if that is a concern)<br /> • Manufacturer/Prefabrication – THIS WILL BE YOUR POINT MAN. Being assigned a project manager to speak with regarding all options within the building such as where openings will be, color choices, proper bracing within the building, and the ability to answer any questions.<br /> • Concrete Engineer – When working closely with the factory and the engineers that are manufacturing the steel for the building, the ability for more communication and less interpretation can occur. This will help to insure that the project is ready to go as soon as the steel arrives on site.<br /> • Insulation – When purchasing insulation through the company that the prefab steel building kit will be coming from, it will be easy to coordinate deliveries so everything can come on the same day or be staggered. Whatever works best for you!<br /> • Erector/General Contractor – This will give assist in the erecting process moving faster and getting the building up. Having an erector that can follow the whole process while everything is going on and not just seeing it once it is delivered is extremely beneficial to the owner and the erector.<br /> • Accessories - When looking for doors, windows, vents and other types of accessories, normally they are located in separate stores. When having a turnkey prefab metal building constructed for you, all that needs to be done and state what is needed and everything will arrive with the building.<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
One Stop Shop</h3>
Each one of these service can be costly and time consuming. Having the ability to only have to speak to one person until the actual time of erection can bring the owner of the building peace of mind. Just think that instead of setting up meetings and having to go over and interpret the meaning of certain drawings, you only have to deal with one person.<br /> Having everything come in a nice, neat package is much more appealing than having to run around filling a basket of what you think you need. Turnkey projects allow for work to be done elsewhere that would normally get tossed to the side when purchasing and erecting a prefab building.<br />

In the housing market, buyers are looking for either the
“ultra-modern” look or more of a rustic charm. While looking at the
“ultra-modern” look, buyers are also going for smaller in size and price to fit
into their lives of leisure. Buyers are turning to prefabricated metal to build
their dream homes at a lower cost and in a timelier fashion. What today’s
generations does not realize is that the tiny home phenomenon and prefab houses
craze is nothing new; it has been around for years! Some may remember a time
when metal buildings were engendered for the “American dream: <em><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-style: normal;">They were called Lustron homes. These built to last
homes were created for our very own “built to last” U.S. war veterans coming
home from WWII. Around 12 million came home to a housing crisis and were left
homeless either alone or with their families. President Truman look to the
builders unions and basically forced them to find a way to create housing. The
answer to the problem was Pre-fabricated Steel Buildings. A man by the name of </span></em><span style="background: white;">Carl Strandlund took on the responsibility
of mass producing the “American Dream.” These houses are still standing today,
trying to be made into historical land marks. The largest sets know of in one
area totaled in 60 prefabricated homes was on a military base in Quantico. They
recently have been knocked down to build new homes for soldiers and their
families living on base. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“For many groups, the idea of mass-producing the
world’s biggest commodity—a house—was an extremely tempting and provocative
idea,” claims producer and architect, <b>Bill Ferehawk</b>. “<i>Lustron</i> could
have been the silver bullet that solved social problems by providing quality
affordable houses for the common man.”<o:p></o:p></div>

Now we by no
means live in the era that those of the late 1940’s after WWII lived in, but
there is a state of urgency for homes that last and that are cost effective.
Cost effectiveness then and now are the leading factors in why Steel Buildings
are being sought after so vigorously. The cost of living has gone up along with
the booming housing market; you can’t blame people for trying to go the easier,
softer way. Purchasing a Prefabricated Steel Residential Building comes with
safety and security that you just can’t buy in this day and age.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%;">The Most
Affordable Home Solutions<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The first sense of security is
finical security. Prefab Steel Buildings are the perfect economic
solution for home buyers. Steel Buildings are easily erected so that the hassle
and long work hours of constructing a structure can be a thing of the past.
Building a home does not need to be a financial burden. Depending on the size of the home that you
want to build, the cost of the home can be as low as $20,000. Within the
building you have a number of different options that can be done. Steel
Structures are built using Ridged frames to hold them up, this give an
obstruction-free space, meaning that the entire square footage of the house is
actually yours to play to with. There are not any columns separating areas that
could ruin the whole layout of the home. People today that are leaning towards
prefabricated metal residential homes or even tiny homes are not looking at
them as they did in the past, they want to be able to put their own stamp on a
home. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Next
is having the security of safety. Prefabricated homes are engineered to withstand
the harshest environments. This is why the prefab homes that were built in the
40’s and 50’s are still standing and its neighboring house has been knocked
down long ago. Take into consideration that our weather has been changing and
we have been getting hit with storms worse than usual. The paneling that is used when putting a face
on the home is manufactured to create a seal that assists in keeping moisture
out. This will effectively help with energy cost of heating and cooling the
home, just another pulse when going with this type of building material.
Whether you are going tiny or normal sized you can be sure that your prefabricated
steel structure will be able to last the harsh elements that Mother Nature
throws its way. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Safe and Clean<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Lastly,
and something that is very important, is the cleanliness of the home. Cleanliness
can come in many forms and is definitely something that as a home owner will
have to be tended to on its own. However, the fact that the steel isn’t porous and
does not hold on to bacteria’s that could seep into the walls like wood makes
upkeep all the better. Also, the wall and roof panels are used keep out insects
and vermin from nesting. Older homes that are made out of other building
materials sometimes need to be knocked down or rebuilt due to damage left from
termites. In addition to keeping the moisture out to help with energy cost, a
prefab steel residence will also keep mold from growing within the walls. All
and all seems like using prebuilt metal building kits is a big win for the
housing industry and assisting people in getting a roof over their heads. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Knowing
that a home that you help build will last the test of time, is cost effective,
and low in maintenance is something new home buyers or people starting fresh
just can’t pass up. If you do not like the look of the steel paneling for the
face of your house and want better curb appeal, there are façade options! The
possibilities are endless!<o:p></o:p></div>

Conceptual floor plans from an architectural firm can cost from $500 to $3,500 and can take weeks to develop.<br />
<h2>
Here are 4 tips for getting affordable conceptual site <strong>floor plans</strong>:</h2>
<br />
<ol>
<li>If the prefabricated metal building company keeps a catalog of buildings, similar ones that have previously been built can be examined and adapted based on what has worked for another client. A steel structures company should keep a master catalogue and has floor plans from every project. When an older floor plan is selected, it should always be verified to have been updated to meet current IBC codes.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<ol start="2">
<li>Prefabricated metal building companies will sometimes have standard models. Maybe one of these floor plans will work for your needs. If not, ask the prefabricated metal building company if they provide conceptual planning as a part of their service.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<ol start="3">
<li>Projected foot traffic and the amount of space needed should be identified during the design process. Reworking floor plans can take time and slow down a project schedule. Design firms will most likely charge for each rendition, iteration, or version requested.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<ol start="4">
<li>The heart of architecture and construction, even in the humblest of building projects, is open-mindedness. Sometimes what was thought would be a great idea does not pan out to being a cost-effective design. Design experts are available to share their experience and expertise, and will help to create a design that is both efficient and affordable.</li>
</ol>
<h3>
Prefabricated Building Wall Covering Finishes: Help With So Many Choices</h3>
Commercial prefabricated building contractors have commonly limited customer choices in wall covering to keep both production costs and build times down. Clients should be aware that they are not limited to a small selection of prefinished wall panels. There are some very attractive options for wall panels in the commercial prefabricated building industry that will brighten the environment in any new prefabricated building.<br />
<h4>
Tips for choosing a wall covering:</h4>
<ol>
<li>Work within an allotted schedule: some textures and finishes have additional steps which may slow down a schedule by a few days<br /> 2. Work within a budget.<br /> 3. The intended use of a room should be shared with the designers during the design phase of the prefabricated building so that the best solutions can be developed.<br /> 4. As image can often be important, the proper time and energy should be spent working with the preconstruction design team to explore all options.<br /> 5. A design should never just be settled on. If a factory is not entertaining a desired design, or the factory’s design team keeps trying to change the customers mind, than a different factory should be approached. Experienced factories that build custom prefabricated buildings can take care of any style that a customer would want to include.</li>

<b><a href="https://coastalsteelstructures.com/classrooms/why-we-love-prefabricated-schools-and-you-should-too/" target="_blank">Why We Love Prefabricated Schools (And You Should, Too!)</a></b></h2>
<br />
Prefabricated construction projects have been erected everywhere. Prefab steel can be used in the construction of houses, offices, hospital additions, hotels, motels, <strong>prefabricated schools</strong>. Contractors all over the United States are starting to realize the advantages of building with prefabricated steel are far superior when compared to traditional brick and mortar construction.<br />
The most appealing factors of prefabricated construction are that they are easy to assemble and dismantle, cost effective and very friendly to the environment. Whether it’s a hospital or office, prefabricated buildings are very efficient.<br /> There are several benefits to a prefabricated school building that everyone should consider before they pull the trigger on a regular brick and mortar solution.<br />
Here are six examples:<br />
<h1>
1. Speedy Construction of prefabricated schools.</h1>
One of the bigger upsides to prefabricated schools is the speedy construction, in comparison to a brick and mortar structure. Constructing prefabricated classroom buildings instead of traditional classrooms will speed up the construction process and will make very minimal interference to daily school schedules. Once the prefabricated construction work is done, Coastal Steel Structures will help you with any customization you'll need down the road.<br />
<h2>
2. Practically no interruptions during class.</h2>
Prefabricating classrooms offsite allows a school to continue classes without distraction to the students. Once you have one prefabricated classroom, the rest can be built offsite while classes proceed uninterrupted. Once the classrooms are prefabricated offsite, they can be assembled after class hours over a few days.<br />
<h3>
3. Great for the school budget.</h3>
One of the greater characteristics of a prefab classroom is its cost effectiveness. Building a brick and mortar classroom costs a lot more than a prefab classroom building. When you take into consideration drawing up architectural plans, hiring several contractors, materials etc. it's certainly more affordable to build a prefab classroom. There are a few options that come along with prefab building structures such as purchasing your building New, Pre-Owned, temporarily, or permanently. When it comes to prefabricated buildings absolutely no school has to delay their expansion for classrooms or storage for books due to budget constraints. Prefab construction is effective for the budget and a very long lasting building choice making for a very economically friendly choice.<br />
<h4>
4. Space Flexibility.</h4>
Every prefabricated schools building is designed to be assembled, dismantled and reassembled very easily if need be. The good thing about prefab classrooms are that once they're built if at anytime in the future you need more space, it can be added with ease. We can also build an extension offsite and add it onto the existing construction if necessary.<br />
<strong>5. Energy Efficiency.</strong><br />
The fact that you can design every prefabricated schools complex to a detailed specification makes it extremely easy to include an energy efficient solution. Prefabricated steel buildings use natural ventilation instead of circulated air and can also be fitted for solar power options. These options make your building more economically efficient.<br />
<strong>6. Build onto at your convenience.</strong><br />
If a school needs to add things such as science labs, external offices, or classrooms for special education a steel structure can be added as an extension to the original structure to supply these needs.<br />
Schools need to have versatility and flexibility in order to cater to new generations over the years of its existence. Prefab schools create the opportunity for schools to expand with ease. If you can't cater to the needs of your students, what good is a school?<br />
If you're looking for ideas on customization's or other ways to accommodate a new structure at your prefabricated schools, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.
