One reason for the fast growth of the prefabricated steel building industry is the fact that steel building manufacturers have created prefabricated systems for a wide range of applications. Steel buildings used to be limited to storage facilities and aircraft hangers. Now, steel is used very successfully for structures as small as toll booths and vending machine shelters, and as large as barns and agricultural facilities, work shops, sports facilities, even churches and retail centers. Steel buildings are frequently used in larger buildings like commercial aircraft hangers and sports arenas, where a large clearspan space is required. (Clearspan is an interior space of a building where the roof is supported by the bordering structural walls and framework, and not with columns.)

Steel provides some other benefits in many circumstances. Generally speaking, prefabricated steel buildings can also be erected more quickly than traditionally constructed buildings. Assuming that the prefabricated kit does not require significant customizing, the project’s design phase is reduced considerably with the use of the steel building system. While this is true for the design phase, site preparation and construction phases for larger steel buildings are normally comparable with similarly sized tilt-up structures.

Perhaps the main reason for the expanding use of steel buildings is construction cost. Assuming that the building fits the parameters and limitations of what is appropriate for steel, prefabricated steel building kits are generally less expensive than custom-designed structures built using traditional construction or even tilt-up construction. Also, with the use of finishes, facades and other wall claddings, builders can craft beautiful facilities that avoid the traditional “tin shed” look associated with steel buildings.

For smaller warehouse, industrial and commercial projects, particularly those under 50,000 square feet, these benefits make steel buildings an extremely attractive alternative for the cost-conscious building owner. Also, steel buildings are frequently the right choice for larger buildings where a large clearspan space is required.

Texas, United States—October 21, 2010. Despite a gloomy national economy, Absolute Steel a manufacturer of steel building kits, recently consummated its purchase of a 33,000 square foot facility in Terrell, Texas.

Absolute Steel’s steel building kits are in use throughout North America and the company is a contract supplier to the Federal government as well as the State of Texas. Founder and CEO, Dean Thomas claims that the company‘s move into the Texas plant was influenced heavily by studying Texas demographics. “We saw no reason to wait until the economy rebounds before making our move into Texas,” stated Mr. Thomas, “The demographics in Texas are just too good to ignore. We’ve been providing our steel building kits to Texans and the State of Texas for years—it was time to localize our efforts.”

The Texas factory features robotic welders, multiple piece benders and is capable of producing up to 50 garage sized steel building kits per day. Absolute Steel’s building system known as “America’s Easiest to Install Building System” is a tubular steel building system which is a breakthrough in construction simplicity; designed to use a minimum of modular components and easily assembled by unskilled labor with common tools.

“The Texas factory with its production capabilities and central US location will allow us to better serve our national market for our steel building kits,” states Mr. Thomas, “and focus better on the local demand for Texas steel building kits. Texans are frugal shoppers who want quality at the best price—we fit right in with their demands.”

BALLINGER, Texas (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Mueller, Inc., a leading manufacturer of steel buildings and residential metal roofing, wants to extend a helping hand again this year to a Texas non-profit in need of a new facility. The campaign is called “Helping Hands.” One organization will be selected to receive a new Mueller steel building up to 4,000 square feet through applications received by June 1, 2010.

Because of today’s economic environment, Mueller wants to give something back to a struggling organization that always gives to others, whether it is a food bank facility, a volunteer firehouse, or maybe a senior citizen center. Upon making the announcement, Mike Fry, director of marketing for Mueller said, “We are very supportive of the hard working non-profits in Texas and during these tough times, we want to do our share of giving back by offering a helping hand to one of these deserving organizations.”

Mueller is teaming up with the popular television series, “Texas Country Reporter” with Bob Phillips to publicize this offering. Viewers of the program representing non-profit organizations will be invited to write in and explain why their organization is worthy of receiving a Mueller steel building. The winner will be announced on the television show this fall.

Last year’s “Helping Hands” recipient was Titus County Cares based in Mt. Pleasant. The organization is a community-based, all volunteer outreach group providing clothing, food, prescriptions, rent and temporary shelter for those in need. Most notable is their “backpack program” providing weekend food and snacks for children who are dependant on school breakfasts and lunches as their primary source of food.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 23, 2010 –
International organization
The organizers approached Frisomat to ensure themselves a care-free festival in the best conditions. The special construction turned out to be just right for Frisomat, the Belgian multinational in industrial buildings. Especially for the Snow and Ice Sculpture Festival, Frisomat designed three temporary hangars with excellent insulating values.

Energy-saving and transportable

Frisomat’s steel construction provides a comfortable workplace for 40 international ice artists. It has become a pleasant, energy-conscious and noiseless environment. Moreover, the steel structure will be installed on the Bruges “Railway Station Square” to be moved somewhere else afterwards. To cool down the hangar, a decentralized, intelligent and very quiet cooling system is installed. Cold is only generated in case a specific zone requires to be cooled down. A constant temperature of -6°C will be held at all times, ideal for the skilful cut ice.

No heating
Keeping the inner temperature constant is done with energy-saving measures. The cooling element of 800 tonnes of ice in a hermetic environment is significant. The building only has to be “held” at the right temperature. A big difference with the open ice rinks for example.
Furthermore, the construction has very good insulating values with 60mm sandwich panels which are produced by Frisomat in Belgium.

Assembly record time : 10 days

Only 10 assembly days to avoid hindrance on the busy “Railway Station Square” in Bruges. Each hangar is anchored in the square to resist strong winds. The 150.000 visitors will enjoy the ice sculptures in all safety and comfort. As a reference to the severe winter, the outside of the hangar is as white as a sheet. The inside however is steel blue, ideal for the sculptures to look well thanks to the light effects.

And Frisomat wouldn’t be Frisomat if the construction couldn’t travel around the world. Next exhibition ? Just take down the hangar and move somewhere else. A masterly industrial hangar.

Snow and Ice Sculpture Festival
From 26/11 until 16/01 on the Bruges “Railway Station Square”.
Each day from 10h to 19h

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 2, 2010 — Steel buildings are popular because of their affordability, strength, durability and versatility. They are the ideal product for garages, sheds, homes, warehouses and storage facilities. When shopping for steel buildings there are four things that one should keep in mind.

1. Consider needs and compare prices. Generally, both a residential and commercial steel building is built to fulfill a specific need. A buyer must first consider what features are absolutely necessary. When comparing prices, they should keep this priority list in mind. If there is an option that meets all the needs but is more expensive, the buyer should consider spending the additional funds to ensure they get what is required in the structure.

2. Look at the details in the metal building agreement. Buyers need to review the details in the purchase agreements before signing. Special specifications that were discussed and requested should be included in the order. This should include every item needed from start to finish of the job.

3. As in every building project, code compliance is important. These vary from municipalities and standards should be reviewed before purchasing steel buildings. This should be figured before buying or signing a contract – not just before building begins.

4. Writing up a contract. All aspects of the deal should be in writing before construction begins. This applies to purchase agreement with the manufacturers, documents with brokers and agreements on labor cost with subcontractors. The complete cost should be in writing and signed by both parties.

Losberger – A Steel Hall with bags of room

An outsized baggage x-ray facility air side at Heathrow T4 to handle large or irregular items before being taken on board an aircraft was required by BAA. Airport Capacity Solutions enlisted the expertise of Losberger to install this specialist bespoke insulated Steel structure to handle and scan baggage. This specialist job required our products and crew to meet many specifications and overcome numerous challenges that come with working air side at one of the World’s busiest airports.

Steel Hall X-ray facility
A Losberger Steel Hall system was adapted to meet the bespoke requirements of BAA including standard building regs and site specific regualtions making this one of Losberger UK’s most complex projects to date.

Work commenced on site in late September to build the seemingly small 8m x 5m structure but with the most complex and intricate specification Losberger UK had ever worked with, it took 7 days to complete the build due to air side restrictions and the very complex nature of the site and project.

The intricate specification for the structure included building on two different leg heights due to the ground conditions, Mineral wool insulation with an overall thickness of 80mm for its non combustible core in accordance with BSEN 1182:2002, two apertures that allowed access through the structure and along a conveyor belt inside the x ray machine fitted with draft curtains and a specially adapted roller shutter door to fit the structure. All our crew and vehicles had to undergo security and background checks to gain access air side as well as all delivery vehicles, the nature of the highly secure site meant that working hours were also restricted.

More than just a store, this new location was built to be Whole Foods’ Midwest flagship and a vibrant addition to the neighborhood where it resides. Inside, a contemporary design provides a unique experience for shoppers. The 90,000-square foot store includes seven locally inspired eateries, a music stage, wireless Internet access and seating for 400 in the dining and lounge area. Outside, metal is an integral part of a modern design that reflects Lincoln Park’s hip, youthful culture.

Make It Metal
“Since Whole Foods is the tenant, they contributed ideas to the design,” explains James C. Tuschall, president and chief executive officer of Tuschall Engineering, Burr Ridge, Ill. “If they wanted a more expensive metal panel, they had to pay for part or all of the costs. There was a balancing act of dollars between the developer and the tenant.”

To achieve the high-end exterior design the store was looking for, the developer approached the Chicago office of San Francisco-based Gensler. It was Gensler’s task to take the concepts provided by the tenant and the developer and bring the finished product to life in a practical, cost-effective fashion. “We wanted to build the building as close to the design intent as we could,” says Greg Huette, project manager with Gensler. “While going through the design process, however, it became evident that it was going to be over budget. So we went through a value engineering process where we change out some materials and changed some of the features to make it more cost-effective, but we were still able to keep the overall design intent.”

One of the changes in materials involved a shift in the project’s use of metal. “Originally, all the metal on the project was going to be zinc, but we eventually changed that to other types of metal, including insulated metal panels and [aluminum composite material] metal panels,” Huette recalls. “Metal was nice because we could use whatever color we wanted. It was very flexible and more cost effective as well.”

Good Shape
Metal also provided the attributes necessary to achieve the kinds of curves called for in the design. “We had some curves within the architectural features of the design and it helped to have the flexibility of metal panels,” Huette says.

Drawing curves is one thing, but incorporating them into the actual structure is no small task. “We did have some challenges with the curved front entry,” Tuschall admits. “It was a challenge because the ACM panels have to follow the same curve as the structure, which isn’t always consistent or within the same tolerance. So we had to coordinate, shim and align where needed. We managed to pull it all off without delays before the store’s opening.”

With so many varied elements at play, coordination was the name of the game. “We worked very closely with the installer because we wanted all the joints in the metal panels and the canopies to align with all the window mullions,” Huette explains. “There were several different radiuses because there were a couple of different depths of canopies. Consequently, there was a lot of coordination between all of us: the curtainwall and metal panel installers, the installer and the general contractor. That was one of the more difficult pieces of the project; coordinating all the different trades when we were trying to line everything up.”

Green Grocer
Holding true to its image as a retailer of natural and organic foods, the store also had a number of sustainability goals in mind for its new location. metal used on the exterior was able to provide the look and performance the owners were looking for. “The insulated metal panels at the top of the parking garage give the building a nice appearance while providing insulating value,” Tuschall says.

“The south end of the building is all enclosed in metal,” Huette adds. “We wanted to keep snow and rain and the elements off the parking ramp. We also used a lot of screening and have a green screen on the entire west side of the building. The screens are made up of wire material with vines planted in to provide shade and help keep the building a little bit cooler.”

Two vegetated roofs top the building, providing further insulation and cooling. “There is one green roof over the atrium and one over the parking ramp,” Huette explains. “We used roof trays that are about 2 feet by 2 feet wide and about 4 to 6 inches deep. They’re filled with sedum and laid on top of the roof.”

Because the vegetated roofs use hearty, local plantings, they do not require added irrigation. “The sedum doesn’t take much to grow; just a little water and it’s fine.” Huette says. “Once it all gets going, the plants fuse together. They’re all intertwined and tangled in with each other to make it one big, solid, stable roof. You don’t have to worry about the trays lifting up and blowing away.”

The building is in the process of applying for LEED Certification from the Washington, D.C.-based U.S. Green Building Council. Since it opened in May 2009, the new Whole Foods has become a hotspot in a neighborhood of hotspots. Feedback from shoppers and the community has been overwhelmingly positive. “I haven’t heard any negative feedback, so from our perspective it turned out really well,” Huette says. “We achieved what the client wanted; we’re happy with it and I think they are, too.”

Installation of the metal components went very smoothly, despite some challenges with working in the harsh Chicago winter. For all the accolades the building has received, it’s just business as usual for Tuschall. “We’re getting a lot of publicity for the project, but for us it’s just another job,” he says. “We’re glad to see our work get this kind of exposure.”

Pastor Dennis Stoneman knew that his congregation was quickly outgrowing his church’s aging facility. He just didn’t know there was an aesthetically pleasing, cost-effective solution to the problem.

Until he discovered Allied Steel.

Stoneman, leader of the First Baptist Church of Burley, Idaho, was floored at the initial costs he encountered when looking into building a new house of worship. He wanted the same kind of handsome facility that his followers had enjoyed previously. Just not at the prices he’d been quoted.

Jerry Walton, a builder with Walton Inc. and a member of the church, put it this way:

“We had a $2 million vision and an $800,000 budget,” Walton says with a laugh.

Walton’s company helped Stoneman find the right fit – in looks and price – with an Allied Steel building.

Today, First Baptist Church has a new church that matches the wood look of the former church building, but with the cost-effective and easy-to-build convenience of steel.

Local designer Kevin Meyers drew up plans that included a wood structure on the front of the building for aesthetics, with steel comprising the majority of the church.

“The wood structure on the entrance side features an entrance foyer, classroom, two nurseries and the restrooms,” Walton says. “It looks great from the outside and was surprisingly easy to get built.”

After an eight-month search for the right company to provide the church building, Walton ordered the building in November, 2003. He says the materials for the 24,000 square foot building arrived on schedule on New Year’s Day.

Getting the building erected proved a challenge.

Stoneman says the winter of 2004 was one of the harsher years in recent memory. Walton concurs, saying that with the snow, his six-person crew had to resort to a little creativity in insulating the church.

“It seemed like it snowed every day last winter. Many days we’d go out there and there’d be a foot of snow on the slab,” Walton says. “We decided to put the roof on before the insulation – which Allied didn’t say to do. But once the roof was on, we could get the insulation in without any water damage.”

That insulation has proved to be one of the greatest benefits in the new church, Stoneman says. The church features a 54-foot wide stage that allows for music performances. Surprisingly for a steel building, the acoustics have garnered rave reviews from Walton and other parishioners.

“The insulation allows for great acoustics, because the sound doesn’t bounce all over the walls,” Stoneman said. “But better yet, it keeps us warm in the winter and cool in the summer.”

The new church was completed the first week of April. Pastor Stoneman says. “So far, it’s been great. For as big a building as it is, it’s become a really warm environment.”

Walton agrees. He says that other area churches are even taking notice.

“Two other churches I know of are looking at what we’re doing and thinking about doing it themselves,” Walton says. “I’d have no problem recommending it to others.”

In this modern day and age, there is a high demand for fast and easy solutions or so called ‘quick fix’ to the problems of modern housing and construction. It usually takes months and dozens of construction workers to build a conventional building, when the need for it just cannot wait that long. One of the good answers to that would be to have prefabricated steel buildings.

Prefab steel buildings, also referred to as Pre-Engineered Buildings or prefabricated steel buildings, is a construction method used in many of the industrialized countries, especially the United States. They consist of a complete steel-framed building system, with components pre-designed to fit together in a vast variety of combinations to meet the unique requirements of specific end uses. They are built in sections or partitions such as panels, modules or transportable sections commonly known as mobile homes. The three more widely recognized prefab steel buildings may be associated with each other, but their makeup is entirely different. There are also large differences in the construction types. For instance, mobile houses and manufactured houses are constructed according to the HUD code for buildings in the US while the modular houses on the other hand are constructed according to the International Building Code.

There are several advantages to having a prefab steel building. First, it would be more cost-effective to build compared to a conventional building. It would have great value per square foot and there is no need to pay for a contractor since you and a few companions can build one in a few weeks. This leads to the second point, that because of reduced construction time, the prefab steel building can be erected much sooner than a conventional building which can take up to many months to complete. Third, this prefab steel building is so efficient and has simple foundation requirements that it does not need any maintenance or repairs. Also, the fixtures are standardized, making them interchangeable and easy to layout according to your desire. There are no beams or posts to block the interior space, maximizing the occupant’s choice to move around.

Prefab steel buildings are so versatile that the possibilities of how they can be used are limitless. They are most commonly used for residential, commercial, and agricultural purposes. These prefab steel buildings are built in parts, making it easy and convenient for the owner to add additional rooms and spaces. Because of the thrust in customization, a lot of prefab steel buildings can be tailored to fit the owner’s specific location and climate, making prefab steel buildings much more flexible and modern than before.

Since prefab steel buildings are very customizable, the prices also vary widely based on the preferred package. A building with the measurements of 24 inches by 30 inches by 12 inches would approximately cost $5,600 while a measurement of 30 inches by 45 inches by 14 could amount to $8000. This is just a fraction of the cost it would take to build a conventional building, and also at only half the time.

The United States has come a long way in using prefab steel buildings. From the famous Lustron houses in Albany, New York, which were developed post World War II to accommodate retiring GIs, to the modern and futuristic designs seen around the country today, prefab steel buildings have increasingly become popular.

Prefab steel buildings can be found almost anywhere in the United States, from California to Virginia, with usage varying from garages and car washes to steel church buildings to airport hangars. The potential is vast; you have control of the prefab steel building structure to meet your needs.

If you want full customization and freedom to move in a space that does not compromise quality, if you want a building raised in the fastest time possible yet maintaining its sound structure, if you want a building that is easy to maintain and easier to build, at the same time being cost effective and readily available, then order a prefab steel building today. The step by step manual is easily understandable and customer support services are readily available, all the materials are guaranteed by government set standards that will ensure its endurance and quality.

NEW ORLEANS, LA, October 8, 2010 — Steel buildings are becoming more common in residential buildings as their versatility expands with greater consumer demand. They are sought after for their affordability, strength, durability and versatility in the building process. Once used primarily for warehouses, garages, sheds and additional storage facilities, today even residential homes are being built with steel buildings. SteelBuildings.org offers further insight into the latest trend.
Once used for large industrial purposes, many smaller scale structures are using metal construction, such as churches, schools, retail stores and private residential homes. In the past, the affordability and durability of such buildings were over shined by the lack of curb appeal. Now the exterior of steel buildings can be finished in brick, siding, stucco and additional options. They are easy to maintain, well insulated and can be constructed much faster than using more traditional materials. They also cost much less than stick built homes of the same size and quality.

The versatility of the way these metal structures are framed is another attractive quality. They can be fully framed to look just like conventional home or they can have a completely open floor plan with minimal interior walls. The pole construction methods used during the construction process make the walls non-load bearing, so the poles support the weight of the walls. By having non-load bearing walls, a home can have dramatic, wide-open spaces for a living room or kitchen and yet have smaller rooms for bedrooms and bathrooms. This option has lower framing costs as well.

For additional savings and even faster construction for residential steel buildings, many people are choosing prefabricated building kits. These are easy to assemble and are more cost effective. These homes are partially assembled when they arrive at the lot. Because much of the assembly is done at the manufacturing site, the construction is done more quickly and is less expensive. Especially in the current struggling economy, steel buildings allow people, who may have never thought homeownership was possible, to build the home of their dreams.
