Why Steel?
When it comes to sustainability and energy efficiency there’s no gray area. Codes are firm and standards are straightforward; this also often applies to the budget – it is set and it is firm and affordable green solutions become the goal. As you start looking for construction material you will find that metal is hands down the best product for your green project. Metal buildings require less material than traditional buildings—leading to a more cost effective solution. Additionally, the green characteristics of our products increase recyclability and durability.
Because steel is so durable and requires so little maintenance, it is a more economic choice for building owners. Maintenance fees, repairs and replacements are minimal – even over the course of 50 years or more – saving building owners tens of thousands of dollars over the course of the building’s lifetime.
Steel is a highly recyclable material, with up to 90% of steel used in construction being recycled. This reduces the need for new steel production, which is a resource-intensive process that contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.
Time is Money. Bolted and screwed prefab steel buildings go up faster than any other traditional building method. Imagine having your new building up in a matter of weeks, not months. With prefab steel, it’s a reality.
Steel buildings can be designed to be highly energy-efficient, with features such as insulated panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting. This can lead to significant energy savings and a reduced carbon footprint over the life of the building. License # 856894
