Using proprietary estimating software, we use customer-provided information or building plans and specifications, along with local jurisdiction building code requirements, to design a metal building tailored to our customer’s specific needs.
Preliminary drawings & three-dimensional models are provided to include preliminary column reactions that any structural engineer can use to design your concrete footers for the metal building requirements.
In many cases, our drawings and Models are used by Architects and Engineers to create the actual Architectural and Structural plans for the project.
Metal Building Construction
A simple description of a typical project is as follows: After the design is approved by all invested parties, we place an order for the building based on the information we have input into the design/estimating software.
Within a few weeks, we receive Engineered Drawings for Construction from the National Brand Manufacturer that allows us to set the Anchor Bolts that holds the structure to the ground in the correct location and pour the concrete.
Once the building is delivered we stage the material and begin the erection. Approval and delivery will vary depending on market conditions and complexity of the structure.
Why would you want to use a Pre-Engineered Metal Building instead of Conventional Construction? A few reasons would be:
Time and money. Metal Buildings go up quickly, allowing other trades to get in and get their work done much faster.
Most metal buildings do not require any interior support.
Engineered design allows for much greater resistance to Hurricane wind uplift.
Minimal maintenance. With a 30-year material warranty, coated metal surfaces last longer and look great for decades.

Re-Roofs and Retrofits
Does your roof need replacing, but you don’t want to go through the mess and interruption of activity inside the building to get it done? Worry no more. We offer a roof retrofit that can go over your existing roof without any interruption to activity within the building. We can even add insulation to combat temperature fluctuations. Our proprietary system will make the existing roof stronger than before and update it to the current building code requirements.
Re-Sheeting
New Wall Panels and Trim can make an old building look brand new again. With Minimal disruption to activities inside the building, this process is relatively quick and will add years of maintenance free life to the exterior of your building.
