The Versatility of Steel Buildings
The versatility of steel building designs makes them ideal for use in a wide variety of business applications. Garages, storage facilities, dog kennels, airplane hangars and even church buildings, can all benefit from the efficient and affordable features of a steel (pre-engineered metal) building system. This variety however, also means that steel building prices can vary quite dramatically.
Here are a few of the more notable factors that influence their price:
Square footage
The finished size of a steel building and the amount of material needed to construct it can have a major impact on the final price. In addition, the cost of steel itself fluctuates somewhat throughout the year. The best vendors will forecast where the price is headed in the coming months if you do not want to order right away and will lock in your price when you actually place your order.
Building height
Increasing a steel building's height can definitely benefit your needs in terms of space. The extra structural support and external sheathing needed for a higher building may affect the costs slightly so always ask when planning your building's design.
Exterior facade
Steel buildings can range from a simple garage with a plain metal exterior to an ornate church building with a stone facade and everything in between. The final cost of construction can vary depending on the level of customization you require.
Internal infrastructure
The interior of a steel building can become quite sophisticated depending on its intended use. The addition of interior levels and associated stairways, as well as electrical and plumbing services, will affect the price of a steel buildingsteel building prices_building1.
Installation options
Some steel buildings are delivered as kits intended to be assembled by the end user. Alternatively, a contractor can be hired to do the job for you. In either event, the knowledgeable team at Arco Building Systems is always happy to provide guidance with any issues that may arise while constructing your pre-engineered metal building system.
