The Difference In Prefabricated Metal Buildings For Residential and Industrial Buildings

Posted by Ben Sparhawk on Feb 16, 2021 10:12:52 AM

A pre-engineered metal building is a structure built using a structural steel framing system engineered to fit your project requirements.

The predetermined components of the structure are manufactured off-site in a factory.

Components are pre-cut, pre-punched, and prefabricated per your design specifications.

When the building is finished, it is delivered directly to the project site, where they may be assembled by a qualified metal building company like CDMG.

Prefabricated metal buildings are a cost-effective, more durable alternative to the more expensive and less durable traditional building methods.

You also aren't giving up any style, comfort, or safety.

The days when steel structures were ugly and reminded you of a horse barn are long gone.

Prefab metal buildings made with steel are both elegant and durable. 

From industrial facilities and warehouses to restaurants, medical offices, and residences, custom metal buildings are a proven solution for various projects, and the metal building will have utilities that can support a number of different businesses. 

Residential and industrial prefabricated steel buildings are remarkably low maintenance, and you'll spend less time and money owning your new structure and more time doing business or making memories.

In the article below, we will take a look at pre-engineered steel buildings for residential and commercial use.

Why Use A Prefabricated Steel Structure For Residential Homes?

There are several building styles available for a homemade with a pre-engineered metal building.

Unlike traditional stick-built construction or pole barn homes, steel buildings don't have nearly the design restrictions.

Clear-span construction with steel eliminates the need for interior load-bearing walls.

This results in a truly open interior space for you to customize and finish based on your needs and desires.

Steel buildings are also very energy efficient, and steel is the most recycled building material on the planet, so you are not harming the environment when you build your home.

And since no one loves maintaining their homes, a residential steel building is virtually maintenance-free.

You don't have to worry about pests or the elements damaging your home, and it will be more likely to stand firm during a natural disaster.

The cost of a steel home will vary depending on several factors, but your home's long-term costs will be much lower when you build with steel.
