A Prefab Building for a House of Worship?

Prefabricated House of Worship.

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 faith, 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 house of worship.

Custom Design:

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:
  • Meeting halls
  • Recreational centers
  • Classrooms
  • Nursery or preschool
  • Dining hall
  • Offices

Many of these additions can be achieved with a pre-fabricated steel structure.

Future proof:

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.

Durable:

Choosing a prefabricated steel building offers a high-quality, strong and sturdy structure 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.
Savings:
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.

What Everybody Should Know About Steel Buildings

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. What Everybody Ought to Know About Prefabricated Steel Buildings Efficient Fabrication In the golden age of automation, efficiency is key. Due to advanced CAD/CAM processes, fabrication of  steel buildings  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.  Shorter Construction Time 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

Anatomy of a Steel Building: First and Secondary Support Systems -Rigid Frames, Purlins & Girts. Rigid Frame(s) Rigid frames are the main support system of a prefabricated metal building and is the most crucial component of the  anatomy of a steel building.  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. Tip: Check with the steel structure company you are working with for they may not provide anchor bolts. These are usually identified by the project structural engineer. Let’s look at some of the different types of rigid framing systems and standard frame systems profiles. Framing Systems:  (Figure 1A) Rigid Frame (RF) Rigid Frame Multi-Spam (RF-1) Tapered Beam (TB) Single Slope (SS) Single Slope Multi-Span (SS) Lean-to (LT) Standard Frame Profiles: Rigid Frame (RF) Tapered Beam (TB) Single Slo

3 Important Things to Consider Before Purchasing a Pole Barn

We are sometimes asked whether a steel structure or a wood-framed pole barn is the better building system for our customer’s project. 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. A Brief Origin Story: 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.” Even after the economy recovered, generations of farmers and ranchers con
