what is a steel building?

Made of standardized components engineered to meet specific criteria and building codes, our building kits consist of a steel framework of beams and columns that are connected using welded or bolted connections.

2. Maximum space

Easily expandable, pre-engineered steel buildings can meet almost any size requirement, from 30x40 to 300x400 or more, all without the need for interior pillars, giving you the maximum usable indoor space. Ideal for ag equipment storage, toy garages, commercial offices, manufacturing, and more.

3. durability and longevity

Steel is extremely durable, resistant to heat/corrosion, and boasts an incredibly long lifespan. It's engineered to withstand anything nature can throw at it, from wind, snow, and seismic activity. When you build with steel, you're building for the next generation, all while requiring minimal maintenance.
