| Why do metal buildings account for more than 68% of all low-rise, noncommercial structures of up to 150,000 square feet -- more than 300 million square feet a year? |
Design/Appearance - More than just all-metal panels, building systems can incorporate glass, brick, stone or precast concrete.
End Use - There's no limit to uses for metal buildings: schools, retail outlets, office buildings, public buildings, industrial facilities, agricultural facilities, churches, auto dealerships and so much more. |

Growth - Metal buildings are designed to be expanded easily -- one of the many benefits of a completely integrated set of mutually dependent components and assemblies.Computer-Aided Design - With standard components, computers simplify the design and code process for metal buildings unlike any other building type.Cost - Saving time through standardization and computer assistance lowers the cost because less time is spent in planning, on-site organization and construction. |
Construction Time - Less time spent on front-end design allows for construction to begin sooner while computers minimize questions and margins for error. Additionally, pre-engineered metal buildings arrive at the construction site as a series of pre-sized components that bolt together. Since cutting and fitting of components are not required, less time is spent on construction.Project Completion and Occupancy - Less time in design and construction means faster occupancy and a quicker return on investment for the owner. |

Energy Savings - Selection of insulated roof and wall systems, properly installed, can significantly reduce HVAC costs.Carefree Upkeep - Quality materials with an emphasis on long-life finishes seriously diminish, and can even eliminate structural deterioration, cracking, rot and insect damage more common in other types of buildings. |
