Just a reminder that we here at Discount Steel Buildings not only believe in, but we stand by the buildings that we sell. We are certain that our buildings are built with the kind of quality that will last you for many, many years to come. Our buildings may easily become landmarks in the community in which they are built. To demonstrate our confidence we offer a 50-year structural warranty! Imagine that! Although we don’t expect that you’ll need to use it, but theoretically you could call us in 45 years after the purchase of a building and report a structural problem. Now, that’s commitment! For more information, give us a call and we’ll be happy to answer any questions that you may have about the purchase of a new pre-engineered steel building.

What are some other choices that you can have? Another structural design alternative is a single slope. This is a simple sloping roof in a singular plane. The pitch of the roof is off to one side and holds no gable. Examples of these are found in a large number of strip-malls across the United States. But, what’s the most popular selling style? The overall popular style is the symmetrical gable steel structure. At the halfway point of the pre-engineered, prefabricated structure, the ridge on this twin slope appears. Attractive, functional and practical, the symmetrical gable steel structure is a highest-seller. We’ve just briefly covered some of the more common designs. Of course, time and space do not allow us to give exhaustive detail in this forum. Yet, we want you to have the information that you need. Whatever your needs are, give us here at Discount Steel Buildings a call and we’ll be happy to help you.

So, let’s talk some specifics. What are some of the designs that we offer that can accommodate your needs? What are the terms you can use when calling? Well, here’s one: the Lean-to. If you require simple storage space then this building type may be for you. Located next to or just below an existing structure, a lean-to provides ample storage room for anything you wish to store. The lean-to can be designed to be open-sided or completely closed and waterproof. If properly calculated, a lean-to provides partial or complete additions to your existing structure. A favorite choice for restaurant and specialty shop owners, the unsymmetrical gable is a popular choice. This is a ridged or double-sloped building in which the ridge of the roof is purposely designed to be off-center.

Another year will soon be upon us. Oh, how quickly the year passes us by! How has this year been? Has your business or organization seen growth or declining numbers? We hope that you’ve seen the success that you planned for. What goals do you have for next year? Will you be expanding your base of operations? Constructing another steel building is a great way to reach a population with more efficiency and promise of growth. Yet, of course it takes the right building—both for the community and for your company. Thankfully, building manufacturers offer a wide variety of structures. The technological advances of recent years have made all this possible. No longer does a steel building have to look like a giant aluminum toaster. To the contrary, pre-engineered steel buildings, at least the ones sold by Discount Steel Buildings, offer you the luxury of selecting the best system based on your personal requirements. Yes, we here at Discount Steel Buildings want you to be satisfied and therefore we will strive to ensure that you have selected the best building system to suit you needs. What do you need in a building? Give us a call and tell us. We are more than happy to help out.

Another great benefit of a steel building is that you are not locked into any pre-determined rigid floor-plan. Floor-plans can be rearranged whenever necessary. Even if you purchase a previously built steel building, even those will allow for ease of expansion. In other words, they can be modified quickly and economically before, during, or after the building is completed. Daily operations need not cease during expansion. How is this all really possible? Expanding a steel building can be as simple as removing the end or side walls, erecting new framework and adding matching wall and roof panels. At Discount Steel Buildings we believe that the building should exist to serve your needs without you having to live to serve its needs. If you are interested in such a high-quality, low-cost building sold to you by a dedicated team of professionals, then give us a call and let us know how we may best serve you.

The real difference lies in the methods and cost-efficiency of a steel system’s design, fabrication and assembly. Add to the mix, the long years of service with minimum upkeep (and in some cases none) and you can clearly see the advantage of building with steel. A steel building system is comprised of precise, pre-engineered components including primary and secondary framing parts, wall components, a steel roof system and chosen accessories and options. Steel pieces work together to form a building structure that meets or exceeds local building code requirements.

When compared to traditional building methods, steel buildings offer:

As a result, steel building systems have started expanding into every facet of business and individuals needs; including retail stores, vehicle showrooms, schools, gymnasiums, churches, manufacturing facilities and warehouses. No one wants to be sold something that is forced upon you. No one wants to pay hard-earned money for something that they didn’t ask for. For this reason, at Discount Steel Buildings we understand the needs of our customers because we ask and listen. Indeed, we believe in the power of choice. The increasing trend nationwide toward more sophisticated designs while keeping overall cost low is one of the great advantages of turning to steel. With the rising cost of fuel in today’s economy, every penny that can be saved is welcome! More on that next week.

The sales of steel buildings are on the rise across the country. So, what exactly is the draw and appeal of steel buildings? What is the incentive to buy one? We here at Discount Steel want to take an objective look at the real appeal of steel buildings so you can make an informed decision as you design your next project and budget accordingly. Technological advances affecting the steel industry continues moving upwards. Significant improvements in engineering and design techniques have led to the development of structural systems compatible with more conventional construction materials. Designers and architects today have the ability to merge a steel building system with glass, wood, and masonry facades, adding an aesthetic component while preserving the true characteristics of a sturdy steel building.
