Traditional Construction Vs Pre-Engineered Construction


Pre-engineered Metal buildings

In Pre-engineered construction steel buildings are constructed with main frames, or rigid frames, as the main support structure with secondary, cold form c or z shape girts and purlins to support the exterior roof and wall metal cladding. Various other secondary steel components, such as bracing, flange braces, are also added to stiffen/ strengthen the structure.

Pre-engineered steel building, also known as pre-engineered metal buildings or engineered metal buildings, are designed based on the customer’s specific needs, building use, location. Design considerations for steel buildings include clear span distance, bay spacing, roof slope and orientation, collateral loads, local climatic loading, special deflection criteria requirements. Through detailed design and planning, pre-engineered steel buildings provide a much lighter overall building, up to 15-30% lighter, which results in a more economical building solution.

Pre-engineered steel buildings are economical and suitable for many applications. Pre-engineered steel buildings are used extensively in industry, agriculture, recreation, forestry, air hangars and commercial and retail construction. The use of pre-engineered steel reduces erection time and delivers better quality assurance under all weather conditions.

Uses for pre-engineered steel buildings:
• Commercial
• Riding arenas
• Power houses/stations
• Hangars
• Storage buildings
• Public service buildings; fire stations
• Recreation buildings; ice arenas
• Mini storage
• Office buildings
• Shop buildings
• Manufacturing buildings
• Mining buildings

Pre-engineered metal buildings vs conventional steel buildings

Conventional construction employs various materials like concrete, wood, masonry and steel that are constructed onsite.  With pre-engineered steel buildings pre-fabricated elements are used and are delivered to site.

Traditional Construction

Traditional construction is a step-by-step process. Following excavation and laying the foundation framing begins.  Each process must be completed so the construction schedule is dependent on each trade. Traditional construction averages six months to a year to complete.  It is more time consuming and costlier than pre-engineered steel construction.  Labour costs are higher with traditional construction and a great deal of construction waste is generated.  While you will have more flexibility with more complex designs but maintenance and operating costs are higher than wilth a pre-engineered steel building.  The foundation of a traditional building can weaken over the years.  .

Pre-engineered Steel Construction

The design of pre-engineered construction is quick and much more efficient than  traditional construction. Each component is fabricated and pre-drilled in the manufacturing plant and delivered to the site for assembly.  Pre-engineered steel buildings can be quickly erected onsite. The framing components are also pre-fabricated.  The foudation is determined based on weight. Because of these factors pre-engineered steel buildings have a quicker turnaround time.  Typical construction time is two months vs six to twelve months for traditional construction.  Being 100 % recyclable there is very little construction waste.  Pre-engineered construction cost and labour costs are lower than traditional builds.  Your building will have lower operational and minimal maintenance costs and will last for decades.  With this type of construction expansion is easy if required in the future.  Add on at the side or end wall  if more space is required.

Pre-engineered metal buildings are ideal for commercial and industrial construction projects.  A great option for industrial applications and agricultural buildings, the construction methods employed for pre-engineered steel buildings are efficient and cost effective. such as gas stations, self-storage facilities, recreational facilities, and office/shop projects.

6 Benefits of Metal Buildings

Are you looking to add a new building for your company’s warehouse? Do you want to build something to provide cover for all of your equipment? No matter what you’re reasoning, you need to consider metal buildings.

Doing so will unlock a plethora of benefits for yourself and your company. You’ll get lowered insurance rates, more energy savings, and more.

In fact, it would be beneficial for you to learn about the different benefits in order to find a metal building design that you love.

See below for a list of benefits that come with steel buildings. Be sure to consider them all as you start this process.

Steel erector walking across metal roof on metal buildings

1. Lowered Insurance Rates

Those of you that have invested in property insurance before know how insurance companies hand out their rates. They assess everything a risk by risk factor.

Obviously, the more dangerous or prone to accidents your building is, the higher the insurance premiums will be. Certain buildings become riskier based on the material that they’re made of.

With a metal building, you’ll have the sturdiest material of all. It can withstand damage from hail, snow, lightning storms, earthquakes, and unusually high winds.

It’s also pest-proof, water-resistant, and fire-resistant as well. It would take a lot to bring a metal building down, and that’s viewed as a plus in the eyes of an insurance provider.

For that reason, you’ll have access to lower insurance rates. Be sure to reach out to a metal building contractor in Canada to learn more about your options.

2. Longevity

As with any building in Canada, longevity and durability are the top concern. No matter what material you build your infrastructure with, it will have to endure brutally-cold winters.

With proper upkeep and maintenance, the metal building you’re wanting to create can last up to 60 years easily, if not longer. Not only that, but it will retain its value and keep a youthful aesthetic for much longer than most other materials.

If durability is your top concern (as it should be), then you and your metal building contractor can focus on that when planning the layout.

With steel framing and high-quality metal walls, your structure will hold up for decades and play a pivotal role in your company’s or family’s future.

3. Quick Turnaround

It’s understandable that you need the building completed as quickly as possible. Your company’s business operations aren’t going to stand idly by while you wait for the new building to be constructed.

Time is money! By choosing to build a metal building, you’re helping your company recover from the construction process that much faster.

A traditional building can take years to complete when you factor in Canadian winters and other obstacles that stand in the way.

Building a metal building is much more efficient. If you invest your money in a reputable metal building contractor, you can have your building completed in only a few months.

4. Budget-Friendly

The process of adding a new facility is an exciting time. However, you want to make sure that you’re making a worthwhile investment in the structure you’re building.

Imagine the horror of having a setback such as a collapsed roof or air leaks in your infrastructure after the new building is completed.

Constructing a metal building will give you the best return on your investment. You simply pay for the aluminum and steel (some of the most affordable materials in the world) and have your contractor build it.

As previously mentioned, the property insurance will be less than a typical building and there will be fewer property taxes. All of this adds up to an investment that will pay for itself in only a few years.

If you haven’t done so already, be sure to create a budget for this project. This will help you find the right fit for your needs with the contractor you hire.

5. Less Energy Expenditure

A huge money waster for many companies is when they purchase/build a building that has significant air leaks.

This means that the heating has a place to escape in the winter, which is asking for trouble in any Canadian city. You need an energy-efficient building to trap in the heat and reduce the amount of energy your heater requires.

Metal buildings have tremendous natural insulation. You’ll enjoy a lowered energy bill month to month, which will save your company a significant amount of money over time. Not to mention the cost of re-insulating the building every few years.

6. Customization

Believe it or not, metal buildings offer a ton of flexibility. You can factor in all the essential amenities your building needs to have to fit your company’s business operations.

Then, you can discuss the best plan of attack with your metal building contracting company. They’ll offer you recommendations based on their previous experiences.

If you need a combination of a warehouse and a front office space, that can easily be done. You can also add things like sliding doors to fully maximize the space inside your property.

Add-ons

KY Custom Cycles, Telkwa, British Columbia

With pre-engineered steel buildings it is simple to add-on to your existing facility. Pre-engineered steel is versatile, environmentally friendly, economical to erect and maintain, and will lower your operating expenses in the long run.

When Ken Yorkston found the need to expand his operation KY Custom Cycles, he turned to Global Steel Buildings Canada. KY Custom Cycle’s original steel building was delivered by Olympia Steel.

Working closely with the Global Steel Buildings Canada team, Ken was able to expand his shop with the addition of a pre-engineered steel 25 x 60 extension.

The add-on is seamless and when finished the exterior of the building had the appearance of being constructed all at one time.

The add-on will house a motor home and was finished with cedar siding to match the two existing bays. Ken finished the bay with a 14 x 16 roll up shop door and a man door.

Thermal spray insulation finished the extension, 4 inches on the ceiling and 3 inches on the wall for maximum energy efficiency and reduced utility costs.

Erection was easy and took only four weeks in between servicing the KY Custom Cycles customers. The roof trim was manually reformed to match the existing building.

Global Steel Buildings Canada can provide pre-engineered structures to add-on to your existing facilities no matter the original supplier. Work with the best in the industry.  Call Global Steel Buildings Canada for a free consultation and no obligation quote today.

Insulation Options for your Prefab Building

How to Insulate a Steel Building

Insulation is key in a steel building.  When it comes to the reasons to insulate a steel building, it’s not just about moderating the interior temperature. Keeping your steel building properly insulated will also prevent the growth of mold and mildew as well as prevent rust and corrosion. The following information highlights reasons as well as different materials used to insulate a steel building.

Mold, Mildew, Rust, and Corrosion

In addition to keeping the building comfortable, you should also insulate a steel building to prevent moisture from entering the structure through condensation. Condensation becomes a problem when the indoor and outside temperatures are at a significant variance. As moisture accumulates, mold and mildew will begin to grow, which can be a serious health concern for people with allergies or respiratory problems. Additionally, failure to sustain proper building maintenance practices can and will result in the moisture causing corrosion and rust.

Traditional construction materials will typically require the insulation to be installed between the studs. When it comes to the procedures to insulate a steel building, insulation is usually installed above the framing, which provides more continuous protection. Its placement prevents the transfer of heat as well as moisture in between the framing, exterior roof, and wall panels.

Types of Steel Building Insulation

There are four different types of materials used to insulate a steel building, and each material has varying costs as well as benefits. When you are considering which material is best to insulate a steel building, keep in mind the characteristics of the material should match with the building’s shape, size, geographic location, and the building’s intended use.

Reflective Foil

Reflective foil or foil bubble is a waterproof type of insulation with a reflective surface, which can significantly brighten the exterior of the building. In some cases, reflective foil is more costly, but it’s relatively simple to install. All you need are staples, glue, or nails, and reflective foil doesn’t require any special protective gear or equipment.

How to Insulate a Steel Building

Prefab steel buildings are sustainable. When insulated metal buildings are energy efficient and provide protection against the elements. However, they do need to be properly designed and engineered for their intended use and location in order for them to deliver a long-term solutions. Although strong and resilient when properly constructed, prefab steel structures, like other buildings, face their own environmental threats. Condensation is one of these threats. When it comes to the reasons to insulate a steel building, it’s not just about moderating the interior temperature. Keeping your steel building properly insulated will also prevent the growth of mold and mildew as well as prevent rust and corrosion. To keep energy costs in check for your steel building it is important to keep warm air your steel building and keep cool air from escaping in the warmer months.

As moisture accumulates, mold and mildew will begin to grow, which can be a serious health concern for people with allergies or respiratory problems. Additionally, failure to sustain proper building maintenance practices can and will result in the moisture causing corrosion and rust.

Condensation can virtually happen on any surface of the building, but the ones most vulnerable are windows, framing members and the roof. Some common ways to deal with condensation in a steel building include vapor barriers. Vapor barriers are one of the most popular ways to prevent condensation.  Designed to keep moisture out Here are some common ways in which condensation is dealt with in metal garages: Vapor Barriers Vapor barriers are is one of the most popular ways in which condensation is prevented.

Fiberglass Insulationat

As the most popular and least expensive method used to insulate a steel building, fiberglass comes in a “blanket” or rolls of material and doesn’t require professional installation. However, it’s a great idea to wear protective clothing, especially a mask because fiberglass will shred into fine fibers and irritate your skin. Due to the soft batting fiberglass material and its ability to absorb moisture, it will also attract rodents, birds, and nesting bugs. As a solution, fiberglass is generally sold with a protective facing, which doubles for interior appeal.

Insulated Panels

Insulated panels are made of two metal panels with insulating foam core between them. As one of the more expensive ways to insulate a steel building, insulated panels reduces the need for rigid board installation or fiberglass blankets. In   any case, when you use insulated panels to insulate a steel building, the panels will provide great insulation, fast installation, and a modernized appearance.

Rigid Board

As the universal way to insulate a steel building, foam or “rigid boards” are ideal for practically any type of climate. With several available performance ratings, rigid boards are an effective way to insulate a steel building as well as dampen the exterior noise. In addition, using rigid boards to insulate a steel building doesn’t require a professional and is simple to install. However, you should inform the provider or seller of your steel building of your intent to use rigid boards as the method to insulate a steel building. When you use rigid boards for insulation, you will need longer panel lengths and extended fasteners.

Spray Foam

Spray foam insulation is a polymer combined with a foaming agent that gets sprayed into the steel wall and ceiling..When released it is in liquid form but expands quickly, drying into a solid mass of air-filled cells. Although it is While much more expensive than batt insulation, spray foam— when expertly applied— fills every tiny crevice, reducing air leaks. Spray foam is ideal for irregular surfaces and small gaps, cracks, or seams.  It can also be used to insulate large areas such as walls, ceilings, or roof exteriors.  Unusual shapes are the right choice for spray foam, and this material is preferred over batt and blanket insulation. Caulking is not needed either with spray foam as an airtight seal will be formed immediately

Loose Fill

Loose mineral fibers are blown into the walls of the building.  It is a more expensive insulation option but it is common in residential buildings.  The benefit of this type of insultaion is that it will fill the corners of the building and reduce potential for leaks. Loose fill has an R-value of 3 to 4 per inch.  Using these loose fibres will conserve energy in your interior space.

Insulation is an important component of your steel building project.  The experts at Global Steel Buildings Canada willensure your building is insulated to be compliant with the building codes of your local area.  You want to ensure your buidling is insulated to stay cool when there are high temperatures outside and conversley provide a thermal boundary when it is cold.  Be confident knowing that your new steel building will be outfitted with the appropriate insuation for your locale and purpose.
