Advantages of Steel Buildings: Flexibility of Expansion

Posted on by Norsteel Buildings

ADVANTAGES OF PRE-ENGINEERED STEEL BUILDINGS

Pre-engineered Metal buildings are easy to extend even after years of use.

14. Grow with you

Customers often come to us needing more space because they have outgrown their current buildings. Fortunately, even after years of use, Pre-engineered Metal buildings are relatively easy to expand by lengthening.

​Often we work with customers who are expanding their businesses in planned phases of development. Their anticipated growth often requires timed calculated increases in square footage added to the original metal building. When it is deemed a possibility at the time of the original inquiry, the pre-engineered steel building can be designed with a future expansion in mind. In such cases, an expandable Endwall is used in place of the Post and Beam Endwall, so that adding frames to the steel structure later is even simpler for the end user.

​Re: Fernie Brewing Company Expansion

In 2014 Fernie Brewing Company required an expansion to our existing Microbrewery production facility.

We were planning a 50x100x20 addition to be used for warehousing, shipping and receiving. We contacted Norsteel and after explaining our requirements we were put in contact with Michael Dawson one of Norsteels sales consultants. Our plans were somewhat more complex because we wanted to join this addition to an existing building which was not manufactured by Norsteel.

Also, the addition was required to be 10 feet higher than the original structure. Once I explained our needs and requirements to Michael, he designed the addition.

Throughout the whole process, we were extremely pleased with our working relationship. The drawings fit our requirements as well as meeting the building code requirements of the City of Fernie. After review by all parties concerned, the order was placed and a delivery date was set. Everything went according to the schedule and the building arrived on time. The work completed by Norsteel was done in a very professional manner and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Expanding an existing prefab metal building can be accomplished with ease. Endwalls are simply un-bolted and removed and depending on the length of the expansion, additional clear-spanning rigid frames are bolted into place. The removed Endwall framing can often be reused in its new location. Matching roof and wall panels are then added to complete the expanded building envelope. Often the expansion is accomplished with a seamless appearance.

ADVANTAGES OF PRE-ENGINEERED STEEL BUILDINGS

Pre-engineered Metal buildings are the ideal solution for fast occupancy.

12. Move in Fast

Pre-engineered steel buildings are time-efficient in every way. From the initial design process and engineering, to fabrication and the delivery of all steel building materials.Furthermore, because the Prefab Metal Structure comes as a complete building package that is easier to erect and faster to construct, it also lends itself to a faster occupancy by the end-user.

​Not only does this decrease the costliness of construction, but it also allows the customer to move into their steel structure and to begin using it, months sooner than with conventionally designed construction.

​Re: Our Norsteel Experience

From being an animal lover all my life, I knew in my late teens that I wanted to own and operate a kennel boarding facility one day. That day became reality in 2008 when we converted an older building on our property into a boarding kennel.

By the end of 2013, we were outgrowing that facility which I should mention had, no running water and was heated with a wood burning stove. Heating it in the winter (especially the middle of the night was not fun). My kennel Manager and I had suggested to my husband to renovate and add an addition. He said “No”, if we’re going to do it, let’s do it right”.

From there, I quickly hand drew up what I wanted in the new facility and sent it off to Norsteel Buildings; whom I had researched as being the best steel building provider in Canada.

From my hand drawn design Norsteel was able to design and send us drawings for approval very fast. With working with our contact at Norsteel a short time later, our new building was on its way to us.

After less than 3 months, our contractors had the building erected and ready to open. With heated floors, running water and a larger facility, we are extremely happy we contacted Norsteel. In our opinion, it is the best decision we ever made.  We are now booked full almost every month of the year (even our previous slow times).

Once again, thank you Norsteel Buildings, it was a pleasure working with you and if we even need another steel building, you will be our first call!!!!

Sincerely,
Sam Baldwin – Owner
Northstar Kennels Ltd

Advantages of Steel Buildings: Fast Construction

Posted on by Norsteel Buildings

ADVANTAGES OF PRE-ENGINEERED STEEL BUILDINGS

Prefabricated Metal buildings are quick from beginning to end.

11. It’s a Quickie

We frequently talk about the fact that Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings are designed to be efficient in every way. This efficiency, pertains to more than just the steel structure itself – The entire building experience from inception to assembly, is quick and efficient in every way.​

When a customer places an order for a metal building system, they can expect to receive stamped engineered drawings in as little as two weeks.  In as few as four more weeks, they can expect to have their steel building arrive by truck to their site. This is a typical time frame – the complexity and size of the project may diminish or extend these times in either direction. Furthermore, once on location, following the simple erection process and understanding the ease of assembly makes the construction time faster too.

The engineering process ensures for quick assembly, as all components for the steel building arrive on site as a kit. And because the pre-engineered components are easy to assemble, of course it follows that these metal buildings are faster to construct than any comparable conventional or wood structure.

The speed of construction comes from the fact that all prefab steel building parts are organized, available and at the ready, with no welding and only minor cutting to do on-site. This coupled with the simplicity of the pre-engineered building with its limited number of standardized components, allows for quick and easy assembly by construction crews.

Less time spent erecting, equates to diminished construction costs and a faster occupancy.

​Re: Testimonial

Hi Michael

I want to let you know how much I appreciated doing business with you and the Norsteel team. From my first contact, and throughout the entire process, Norsteel and you in particular were very helpful and informative. With your concise input, I was able to enter each phase, knowing in advance what I needed to prepare, and what Norsteel was doing on my behalf to ensure accurate and timely drawings, delivery schedules and support that ultimately delivered an amazing building that I am proud to show off to friends and family.

Your supplied engineered drawings were approved by my building inspector without hesitation. The delivery of materials was very well executed, with advance discussion of delivery day and time to accommodate my schedule. The material was packaged and loaded perfectly, and every piece was labeled to coincide with the bill of materials and erection drawings. The kit includes every item required for assembly – including nuts, bolts, screws, rivets, and gaskets and all were supplied in ample amounts and colour matched to the exterior ordered where applicable.

After much internal debate, I decided to undertake construction myself with a very small crew of willing friends. The erection drawings and instruction books provided were well written, easy to follow, and gave very detailed information about every aspect of the assembly process which allowed us to proceed in confidence knowing that we were doing it right… the first time. The fact that every piece was easily identified, the correct size, shape, and all the bolt holes lined up with adjoining pieces made our progress quick and enjoyable.

I was amazed at how your insulation delivery coordinator took every effort to ensure that my insulation arrived at exactly the right time. (not too early or too late) Upon my notifying Norsteel of an approximate delivery timeline two to three weeks in advance, the coordinator called me a few days later to confirm, then called again about 7 days prior to the arranged date. Of course, I was guessing at when we would complete the skeleton throughout these conversations, as we had not yet begun…. The structural steel went up much faster than I had anticipated, and so I called the coordinator to see if they could reschedule delivery on very short notice – three days earlier than I had previously arranged. He immediately replied that they would accommodate my updated request! Awesome!

The sense of pride and accomplishment we gained by erecting our own building is very rewarding, and the money saved in doing so helped to make the project that much more affordable and enjoyable. Thanks for all your help!

Best Regards,

Dave Morton

Advantages of Steel Buildings: Single-Source Responsibility

Posted on by Norsteel Buildings

ADVANTAGES OF PRE-ENGINEERED STEEL BUILDINGS

When you choose a Pre-engineered Metal Building solution, the entire building envelope becomes the responsibility of one source.

9. One “Go-To”

The fact that one single supplier is responsible for the entire steel building envelope is one of main benefits of choosing a Pre-Engineered Metal building system. The building owner, or the construction manager, does not have to keep track of many different suppliers or worry about one of them failing in the middle of construction. Busy small building owners especially appreciate the convenience of dealing with one entity as a resource for information and support during the construction phase. This convenience is a major selling point of prefabricated steel building systems.

It is also the reason that your steel building will be faster to construct – everything will be provided for you in a wonderful kit – no matter the size or complexity. Your prefab metal building will arrive with all components clearly bundled and labelled for convenient, efficient identification.

Shortly before delivery, you will receive a complete packing list for inventory purposes. Customers should always inventory the load. In the unlikely event that something is missing or has been damaged, you have only one source to contact for assistance. This is another benefit to having one single source responsibility.​

Furthermore during construction, customers frequently have questions. When there is one single source for the entire steel building envelope, it follows that there is one “go-to”, for answers. And for years to come, if a customer would like to expand their steel building or if a part has been damaged, then there is one single source to provide assistance.

8. Heat it up or Cool it down

Metal Building providers have developed several insulation systems that are ideal solutions for heating and cooling prefab steel buildings, and serve to increase thermal efficiency. Another feature of insulation is that it is frequently used to dampen noise and reduce sound.

When insulation is discussed as part of the steel building solution from the beginning of the project, customers have several efficient options available to them. It is important to understand that once the metal structure has been erected, options are considerably restricted. This is because in Prefab Steel Buildings, the insulation is installed in between the framing and the cladding systems of the metal structure.​

By far the most common type of insulation sold for prefab Steel building systems, is fiberglass laminated blanket insulation. Easy to install and cost effective, blanket insulation is available in several R-Values for both roof and walls.
