STEEL BUILDING FAQS

How much does a steel building cost?

A lot of business decisions come down to one thing: cost. Of course, quality is a significant point to consider, but we also understand that this investment has to fit into a specific budget. The good news about commercial steel buildings is that they, without compromising quality, are affordable for businesses, relative to alternatives on the market. The price will vary based on size, features, and other factors, but here’s what we can tell you without a doubt:

Steel buildings are quickly assembled
- Which saves money on construction costs
Steel buildings are low-maintenance
- Meaning upkeep expenses are generally lower

The top reason why we supply businesses with steel buildings is that we believe in this product. We believe this is a great option for construction projects, providing quality at an affordable price.

Can I assemble a pre-engineered building on my own?

Commercial steel buildings are engineered and manufactured for quick installation. That said, they are almost always erected by professional construction crews. While this will add to upfront costs, it ensures the structure is assembled correctly, resulting in a final product with no issues. Arco Building Systems is happy to refer you to construction companies we trust and know do an excellent job.

How long does it take to erect a steel building?

As you may expect, there isn’t a simple answer to this question. Again, this depends on the size and other aspects of a structure. Typically, the assembly process lasts about a month—in many cases, three to four weeks for a 100 x 100 building.

For a more accurate estimation based on your construction project’s specific details, contact us.

What industries benefit from steel buildings?

Commercial steel buildings are a great fit for many businesses. These structures are dependable and long-lasting, making them among the best options for most operations in need of a new facility.

We’ve supplied commercial steel buildings for businesses in these industries:

Retail
Warehouses
Schools
Churches/places of worship
Municipal
And more

How do I choose a steel building supplier?

Choosing a building for an upcoming project is not a small decision—especially considering the structure will be your workplace for years to come. It’s better to go through this process with a knowledgeable team. Choose a supplier with decades of experience and that will guide you to make an informed decision, pairing you with the best possible product. A good, honest supplier will take into account your budget, needs, and other project details to find a structure that matches your circumstances.

At Arco, we can tell you up front that we’re not here to make a sale—we want to partner with you to make sure your business makes an informed purchase. Our knowledgeable team has many years of experience helping businesses like yours. We’ll work with you to find a solution that works. That’s the Arco difference.

An Update from Arco Building Systems’ Leadership

AN UPDATE FROM ARCO BUILDING SYSTEMS’ LEADERSHIP

CONTINUING THE TRADITION OF QUALITY

The Arco difference has been a standard of ours since the company opened in 1979. We’re focused on providing great products with great service—all delivered with a personal touch. Today is no different. The Arco Building Systems team has some very bittersweet news to share. As shared from our company president of over 40 years, the news is best said by our dear friend Allen Freeman.

A Letter from Allen Freeman

On June 30, 2020, the Assets of Arco building Systems were purchased by Todd and Carolyn Wade, and I retired as president of a company I have had the honor of guiding for over 40 years. This was a very bittersweet occasion as, even though the responsibilities now lie in very capable hands, I will not be seeing the fine people who are Arco on a daily basis.

My Dad, Tom Freeman, founded Arco in 1979 in a storefront on Main Street in Tucker, Georgia. I joined him a couple of months after he started this adventure and Arco was incorporated in the fall of 1979. Dad was not only the best salesman I ever met, but he was also the most honest, loving, and sincere person I ever met. He showed me that you could sell the hell out of a good product, fulfill the needs of your customer, and maintain integrity at the same time. Respect for your customers as well as your employees was the key.

When Arco was born I was only 30 years old, and didn’t know a lot about steel buildings. Dad left me to man the office as he made sales calls with only two rules… Tell the customer the truth, and give the customer more than they expect in the building as well as customer service. Even though Dad passed away nearly 20 years ago, those beliefs and values have never changed and are the foundation of Arco.

It’s impossible to condense 40 years of experiences into a few paragraphs, but suffice it to say that with the help of a lot of good people including vendors and employees, Arco has not only kept the doors open during the bad times, but has thrived over the years.

Fast forward to 2020: I am 70 years old and it’s time for me to enter a new phase of life. Numerous exit strategies were pursued, but only one proved viable especially to the employees.

Carolyn Akers-Wade and I had our first discussion about her purchasing Arco in August, 2019, over beers at the Blue Top Bar and Grill in Chamblee, GA. Carolyn began at Arco Steel Buildings nearly 30 years ago so she was not only influenced by Tom Freeman, but she had also endured most of the trials and tribulations I had experienced as a business owner. It didn’t hurt that Carolyn has been the top producer for Arco and a trusted friend for years.

As discussions continued over the next few weeks and months, a plan was taking shape that made a lot of sense. As a potential business owner, Carolyn brought continuity, building knowledge, energy, and love of all things Arco. Carolyn’s husband, Todd, brought the experience of an owner of a previous successful business as well as the personality and attention to detail required in such a position. That combination provided a team whose talents perfectly complement each other.

This was looking like a perfect fit and a plan was finalized with closing to be March 31, 2020. Then the pandemic hit! Closing was delayed 90 days and, in that regard only, the pandemic seemed to have a silver lining. Since I couldn’t wait 90 days to bring in Todd, I made the announcement to the employees that Todd and Carolyn’s new company would be purchasing Arco Building Systems even though we had not closed the sale. The employees were relieved and enthusiastic about the plan. All the employees knew Todd and were pumped about his coming on board as well.

This early announcement allowed Todd to begin his baptism under fire immediately and gave him a chance to see if what we were doing would work before he was locked in. After Todd had gotten six weeks or so under his belt, Todd told me he was more eager than ever to close. He said he was able to see how Arco performed during a tough time like the early pandemic days, and if that was any indication, things were going to be great during good times.

Since we closed the sale on June 30, Todd and Carolyn have hit the ground running, forming their own team, cleaning things up where needed, and moving full steam ahead. Although, technically their company name is Aker’s Building Systems, Inc., legally they will continue to do business as Arco Building Systems and Arco Steel Buildings. The transition has been smooth and any changes made have been for the good of the customers and employees.

Again, it has been an honor to lead Arco for over 40 years. Now I can relax a little knowing that Arco is in good hands and will continue to offer quality buildings with great customer service as well as treat employees and customers with dignity and respect.

Thank you, Allen, for your continued hard work, for your leadership, and for being an extension of what your dad started years ago. The Arco Building Systems staff and our customers appreciate your contributions and setting the standard for “the Arco difference.”

Harvest Time! Why a Steel Building Provides Great Farm Solutions

HARVEST TIME! WHY A STEEL BUILDING PROVIDES GREAT FARM SOLUTIONS

PERKS OF INVESTING IN A 100 X 300 STEEL BUILDING

The driving force behind any farm is the hard work of skilled hands. Though, just as important, the equipment and tools on a farm do a lot of the heavy lifting. Of course, not to be forgotten are the buildings—they need to be durable and able to withstand the day-to-day of a farm. There’s only one building option tough enough for the job: a steel building. Whether you need a 100 x 300 steel building or another size, this is a great option for the agricultural industry—let’s explore the reasons why.

What Steel Buildings Bring to the Agricultural Industry

Durability

With a steel building, you can of course expect durability. It’s a building type that is common and practical for many blue collar industries, including agriculture. Steel buildings without a doubt have what it takes to provide a workplace that works just as hard as you do.

Weather Resistance

Steel buildings are known and proven to be able to withstand inclement weather. From high winds, to extreme temperatures, to snow, steel buildings offer great protection against the elements, making this an ideal structure for storage, livestock, machinery, and many other farm-related operations.

Long-Lasting

It’s important to check all the boxes when making an investment like this one. One of the many boxes a steel building checks off is longevity. Not only do steel buildings typically have great warranties, but they are not susceptible to rotting, warping, cracking, or other wear-and-tear that are common with other building materials. Also, they are low maintenance, which we’ll get into in our next point.

Low-Maintenance

You know what is involved in taking care of an old wooden barn. With a steel building, you don’t have to worry about wood rot or other challenges that come with structures made from other materials. This saves money, time, and headaches involved with keeping up with a building.

Storage Solutions

Steel buildings are versatile structures. Whether for storing equipment, livestock, vehicle, or hay, steel buildings are great storage solutions. With durability in mind, this is a great option for storage and organization, especially considering protection from weather and other elements.

Quick Assembly

In the agricultural industry, a quick turnaround for long-lasting solutions is invaluable, and that’s what you can expect with a steel building of any size, even 100 x 300. Steel building kits can be quickly assembled, costing you less during the construction phase, and ultimately making your new workspace available sooner rather than later.

Customized for You

No two farms have the same needs. Steel buildings offer numerous customizability options—including size, layout, aesthetics, and accessories. At Arco Building Systems, we will guide you to the best solution, exploring your specific needs and what options will best suit you and your budget. We’ve been assisting businesses since 1979, and we love pairing business owners of all industries with a steel building that will make their job easier. Get the quality you need—all in a building perfectly apt for what you do day to day.

GROW YOUR AGRICULTURAL BUSINESS WITH A STEEL BUILDING

Here to guide you through the process to equip you with a building that perfectly matches your needs, our team is friendly and knowledgeable. From delivery to installation, Arco knows its steel buildings and great support. We’re here to be a resource for you to make the most out of your next investment: a 100 x 300 steel building.

THE DIFFERENCE A STEEL BUILDING CAN MAKE

The team at Arco Building Systems loves small businesses and is passionate about taking part in helping them grow. Since 1979, we’ve supplied 100 x 100 steel buildings as a dependable, long-lasting option for businesses positioned to go to the next level. Exploring the unique ways this investment can be a solution for your business, let’s learn more about the benefits of a 100 x 100 steel building in the landscaping industry.

Ways Landscapers Can Utilize a 100 x 100 Steel Building

Equipment Storage

A 100 x 100 steel building can offer an obstruction-free area, depending on the type of frame used. This means the layout can be configured in a way to best optimize the space, accommodating large landscaping equipment. Steel buildings also offer dry, temperature-controlled storage areas that are weather-resistant, keeping your equipment protected and safe when not in use.

Maintenance Bay

While your personnel are of course putting in hard work day after day, your hardest working employees might be your equipment. Your equipment will need regular tune-ups and maintenance to keep performing at a high level for every job, as you very well know. Steel buildings are used for auto garages, airplane hangars, and maintenance bays—they’re the structure of choice to offer a durable place to maintain your landscaping equipment.

Administrative Offices

While steel buildings are of course durable structures that can handle the tough day-to-day operations of your business, they’re also great for accommodating office environments. Whether you need an area to conduct sales meetings or to do bookkeeping, a steel building can provide what you need. In addition to being durable structures, steel buildings are completely customizable, offering unique layouts as well as exterior and interior design that is appealing to visitors and employees. Functionality and flexibility—that’s what an Arco Building Systems product can provide for you.

How Steel Buildings are the Ideal Investment

When planning to upgrade or expand your facilities, keep in mind that this is an investment that will impact your operations for years to come. At Arco Building Systems, we like to think of a building as a tool—if it’s perfectly suited for you, that tool can be an incredible asset for a growing business.

Here’s what steel building owners love about their investment:

Durable
Low-maintenance
Quickly assembled
Customizable (layout and aesthetics)
Weather-resistant
100% recyclable
And more

As a steel building owner, you’ll come to realize that the benefits are endless. At the end of the day, you’re getting a durable and long-lasting structure that is the long-term budget-friendly option, allowing for expansion in the future.

SPARK YOUR FIREWORKS BUSINESS WITH THE BENEFITS OF A STEEL BUILDING

Independence Day is here once again! It’s the time of year when millions come together to appreciate what is actually a year-round venture for many: fireworks. While this holiday is of course a great time to celebrate and acknowledge our nation’s history, it’s an opportunity for the fireworks industry to get the spotlight for a moment.

Advantages of Steel Buildings That Spark Businesses

Durability

Whether the space will be used for storage, manufacturing, retail, or a little bit of everything, steel buildings offer durability that alternative building materials such as wood can’t advertise. Steel buildings are expertly designed and crafted structures made from one of the strongest metals in the world. Prefabricated steel buildings are weather-resistant, withstanding inclement weather and high force winds. Additionally, steel is not susceptible to fire hazards. Steel building owners love their workspace because it’s an investment that is low-maintenance and long-lasting, offering dependability and longevity that doesn’t fizzle.

Affordability

One of the many benefits of a prefabricated steel building is that it can be quickly assembled. With short construction periods combined with the value steel buildings provide, this is an excellent solution for business owners. Considering and factoring in the savings on maintenance costs with many other advantages, a 100 x 100 steel building is a great investment for businesses in any industry, including a fireworks company.

Space and Ease of Expansion

Depending on the frame, steel buildings can offer obstruction-free areas with no columns, making it ideal to completely customize the area for your unique operations. Steel building owners get the most out of their investment for this reason, but also in the future. We never know what tomorrow has in store for us—if your company ever needs to expand its facilities, steel buildings can easily accommodate that.

Flexible Design

Configure your building exactly as you envision it—perfect for your operations and customer base. Offering interior and exterior flexibility, steel buildings can match your vision, optimized for what you do. Utilize a custom interior layout that best serves what you do. Also, steel buildings surprisingly offer attractive exteriors, oftentimes incorporating brick and other materials to create an appealing façade that’s inviting to visitors and passersby.

5 Questions to Ask When Planning Your Steel Building Interior Space

5 QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN PLANNING YOUR STEEL BUILDING INTERIOR SPACE

INTERIOR PLANNING POINTS TO CONSIDER

If your business is considering expanding or upgrading its facilities to a steel building, then you’re probably aware that this is one of the best investments a company can make. Steel buildings are long-lasting structures that require minimal maintenance. In addition to being cost-effective and highly durable, steel buildings are very adaptive, allowing for customized layout. To make the most of your 100 x 100 steel building, take the time to ask essential questions when planning for interior design. The team of Arco Building Systems has listed out a few of the top questions to ask during this development stage.

Start Your Interior Planning with These Questions

1. What will the space be used for?

Steel buildings can accommodate virtually any layout. The design for an office area versus a work production area of course will have different requirements, so the exact function of the area is essential to know beforehand.

2. What will my ventilation requirements be?

Factors such as machinery exhaust and refrigeration vapors may impact the functionality and safety of your workspace. That’s why ventilation is crucial. Research OSHA’s ventilation standards in regard to what the area will be used for and what pollution may impact health and safety by being hazardous to inhale or impairing visibility.

3. Are there specific storage needs?

No two workspaces are the same. Whether planning for a warehouse or an office environment, consider what storage accommodations may be required for the area. Keep in mind the necessary square footage, whether the area should be unobstructed, and how high the ceiling may need to be. Also, depending on what will be stored in this area, plan for appropriate insulation for a properly temperature-controlled environment.

4. Will it require special accessories?

Depending on the purpose of the workspace, the interior may require certain accessories to plan around. Consider aspects such as specific lighting needs and how large accessories such as a mezzanine would impact the interior design of the building.

5. How should I plan for accessibility?

The workspace may need special accommodations for shipments or large equipment. Learn what the needs are and plan accordingly to include large commercial doors or access to a delivery bay as needed.

New Business Highlight: Starting a Distillery

NEW BUSINESS HIGHLIGHT: STARTING A DISTILLERY

WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN OPENING A DISTILLERY

At Arco Building Systems, we’re proud to be a resource for businesses to reach their goals. Our specialty is recommending ideal building options and supplying 10,000 square foot steel buildings to make the process as smooth as possible for business owners. No matter where you are in making your dream a reality, we want to be here for you. You may be in the genesis stages of starting your own distillery. As you hone your craft and figure out the best product to bring to the market, let us guide you through some considerations when starting a distillery.

Starting a Distillery: What to Consider

Location

Yes, we all know that location, location, location matters. Thoughtfully consider your target audience and where that customer base can best visit your distillery. Distilleries are unique from other businesses considering location because there may be local regulations that determine how your company will operate. Research your state’s regulations and consider how that may impact your distillery.

Facility

As you may know, distilleries require a lot of storage. To accommodate for the aging process, your distillery will need space for barrels and other components of your detailed process. Additionally, if your distillery will rely on distribution, consider your building’s functionality for that process—including your backroom and a loading dock for compatibility with freight distribution.

Steel Building Perks

Why would a 10,000 square foot steel building be the ideal facility for a distillery? We’ll start off by saying they’re incredibly adaptable. While steel buildings may seem like industrial warehouse-type buildings, they can also be adapted to adhere to your aesthetic vision. From inviting facades to an appealing interior that will impress visitors, consider that steel buildings can match the appearance perfect for your distillery.

Steel buildings are incredibly durable structures, offering weather-resistant protection for your equipment and inventory. Additionally, through great insulation, steel buildings are great for regulating the temperature. Store your inventory at the ideal temperature while knowing it’s secure under the protection of a steel building.

One of the exciting parts of starting a business is that you don’t know what heights it will take you to. If you need more square footage in the future, a steel building will be a great investment. Steel buildings offer ease of expansion. Whether with a clear span design or not, steel buildings can have customizable layouts to work perfectly with your unique operations and vision.

5 Maintenance Tips for Your Steel Building

5 MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR YOUR STEEL BUILDING

IMPORTANT STEEL BUILDING UPKEEP STEPS

At Arco Building Systems, we have been in the steel building industry for a long time and truly believe these structures are the best solution for our clients—that’s why we recommend them. One of the many benefits of steel buildings that we believe is valuable for business owners is that the structures are low-maintenance. That said, natural elements and the day-to-day of a work environment will cause wear and tear on even the strongest building. While our buildings generally require less maintenance than other structures, the team at Arco Building Systems has listed out the top maintenance tips 100 x 300 steel building owners should be aware of.

Ways to Care for Your Steel Building

1. Regular Inspections

By either hiring a professional or setting aside time in your schedule, make an effort to inspect your building for any maintenance needs. Some surface-level issues to look out for are holes, cracking, or any compromises to the paint. Be sure to properly and promptly address the identified issues to ensure your building is in great condition for years to come.

2. Insulation

100 x 300 steel buildings are strong and long-lasting structures, but just like any building, they need good insulation to reduce moisture and to increase energy efficiency. In some cases, insulation may be taken over by nesting animals. Given that unmaintained insulation may bring upon other issues, it’s especially important to inspect your building’s insulation when possible.

3. Preventative Maintenance

We all know preventative maintenance will save you money in the long run—for example, it’s more cost-effective to change your oil every 5,000 miles rather than to repair the damage that zero maintenance will cause. The return on preventative maintenance may not be evident but assuredly keeps your building in overall great condition while helping your operations run smoothly with minimal structure-related interruptions.

4. General Cleanup

If you’ve let snow build up on your roof or have let some landscaping overgrow, you may be allowing unnecessary wear and tear to damage your building. Consider clearing your roof of any debris and trimming back any shrubbery or plant life that may be resting on your building. Identify a time during the calendar year when you can soft wash the building to help protect the exterior or prolong the paint.

5. Keep a Maintenance Log

No matter how major or how minor, stay organized by tracking what repairs you’ve done to the building. This may help you better understand future maintenance needs. Also, logging your upkeep will help you learn what needs to be done on a regular basis and how frequently it should be done, ultimately helping you to understand what your building needs to stay in great shape. For quick and handy access, store this information on a spreadsheet.
