Solving space problems

These articles will help you decide which metal building solution is right for your current and future needs. Our experts explain the benefits of building with pre-engineered steel building systems and how they can solve the problems many industrial businesses experience as they grow and expand.

Recognize the Need

It's time to stop renting commercial space and build your ideal facility — When businesses are young and finances are tight, renting can be the only option. As time progresses, investing in ownership quickly becomes the most intelligent choice.

Build-to-suit: A strategic business move for today's market — A new, purpose-built solution can be a cost-effective and strategic approach to meeting your business' needs.

Recognize when it's time to increase your business space — Don't hamper business growth with overcrowded conditions. Here are symptoms that may indicate it's time to invest in more space with a steel building.

The danger of production bottlenecks has a simple solution — A case study from The Profit's "Raise the Roof" episode demonstrates the value created from expanding production through the addition of a steel building.

Your business benefits from open, column-free space — Don't stifle productivity or restrict the future success of your business with small rooms and working spaces crowded with interior columns and beams.

Importance of column-free engineering to maximizing space — Beams are an eye-sore, obstruct traffic flow, take up space and limit the potential of your warehousing, storage or working space.

The importance of increased working space — If the average person spends 1/3 of their life at work, adequate work environments must be a consideration for both employee satisfaction and retention.

Larger working spaces lead to operational savings and human resource gains — Professionals debate the pros and cons of open-concept layouts, but all unanimously agree that larger spaces are better.

Nothing protects your business like steel — Bank safes aren't made from wood or stone – neither should your building be when you're looking to protect and safely store what's inside.

Prepare for wildfires with resistant structures built from steel — Cold-formed steel is an ideal building material designed to withstand fire damage at extreme temperatures.

Steel can help prevent your business from going up in flames — Steel and fire-rated glazed glass are part of the essential front-line barrier to prevent and contain accidental fires at your industrial or manufacturing business.

Can your building help you build a brand? Absolutely! — A custom designed pre-engineered structure can become a critical component in establishing or expanding your company's marketing strategy.
