Roggow Construction Company has many years of experience in designing and constructing metal buildings.
If you're looking for a convenient, cost-effective alternative to conventional construction, pre-engineered metal buildings are just what you're looking for.
Pre-engineered metal buildings are often used for commercial spaces, but they can be designed to meet any builder's needs.
Pre-engineered steel building systems are cost-efficient, customizable, and quicker to construct and erect than traditional standard buildings.
What Is A Pre-Engineered Metal Building?
A pre-engineered metal building system is a building that is constructed with a steel frame system that supports a metal roof and wall panels. They are pre-designed to adhere to precise dimensions.
These dimensions are specific to the needs of the building owner, but other factors, including area-specific building codes, potential load problems, and environmental considerations, are also taken into account.
Pre-engineered metal building systems have the versatility to be fabricated to meet many unique requirements.
Frame components are made and then shipped to the location to be erected. Many times, these frames are I-beams, which get their name from their shape.
I beams are created by welding steel plates together to form the section and then built together to create the frame of the building.
How Are Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings Designed?
To design a pre-engineered building system as accurately as possible, metal building manufacturers have to consider the following:
Bay spacing
Slope of roof
Loads (live, dead, and collateral)
Wind uplift
Space between bearing points
Deflection criteria
The maximum practical size and weight of engineered components
Pre-calculated measurements for each unique component have been utilized to engineer precise designs and measurements.
Engineers have developed programs that make pre-engineered buildings efficient and cost-effective.
Computer-aided design programs have made this process easier.
Computer technology has allowed the design and construction of pre-engineered steel buildings to become much more advanced. Many computer-aided design programs allow for 3D design and analysis before creation.
This makes the process even more cost-effective, efficient, and easier.
BIM technology has shaped and will continue to shape the future of the construction industry.
BIM uses historical data and predictions to improve projects and plan entire processes in the most efficient way possible.
3D models are better at depicting a project's reality in a way that has never been done before.
All the model changes can be done in real-time, and employees responsible for the project can access it and communicate with each other, and discuss progress.
Many construction companies combine virtual reality and augmented reality with BIM to achieve even greater results and efficiency.
Pre-Engineered Buildings External Design
Several materials can be used for the external cladding of a pre-engineered metal building system. Those materials include wood, tensioned fabric, masonry block, glass, concrete, and steel sheets.
The external cladding materials are dependent on the specific criteria delineated by the company investing in the structure.
How the building will be used and where the building is being built impacts the choice of external material.
Engineers will take into account environmental factors, use, and durability.
The idea is that a pre-engineered building has the same appearance, design, flexibility, function, and advantages of traditional construction, if not more so.
Additionally, you can have options like Cool Metal Roofing that can also give your business the look you want and keep the energy bills down.
Benefits of Pre-Engineered Buildings
There are countless benefits of using pre-engineered metal buildings. Among them are:
Cost
Speed of construction
Design
Structural integrity
Cost Efficiency
Pre-engineered metal buildings take almost half the time of a traditional construction project to build, saving you time, labor, material, and money.
They are often more reliable, durable, and resistant to weather events like blizzards, tornadoes, and hurricanes.
Many owners interested in pre-engineered metal buildings are looking for a structure with an open, extensive interior space. There are endless options for the design of pre-engineered buildings, both inside and out.
Standard details are where most people realize the best advantage of a pre-engineered metal building.
Energy efficiency is both an economic and environmental advantage of a pre-engineered structure.
These structures are tightly sealed, require less insulation than standard buildings, and can be designed with roofing that deflects the sun's harsh rays.
Pre-engineered metal buildings can be built and adapted to suit a wide variety of applications. The advantages of this type of structure have been utilized more and more over the years.
Companies that are looking to build or expand realize the economic wisdom of investing in a structure that takes less time to design, produce, erect, and maintain.
Pre-engineered steel buildings are also expandable and easily customized to meet the needs of a growing business.
New sections can be bolted onto any side or added to the top of your existing structure.
If a section of the building is damaged, repairs can be performed easily, often using replacement parts from the original manufacturer.
Construction time, labor costs, and material costs are more predictable with a pre-engineered steel building system than with conventional construction.
With pre-engineered metal building construction, components are manufactured and shipped from a controlled site, so there are fewer labor and human error costs to consider.
Pre-engineered metal buildings prove their worth from day one, providing companies and professionals many opportunities for expansion and growth.
