The modern construction industry most regularly utilizes two major building methods: pre-engineered building construction and conventional (or traditional) construction. Conventional construction uses different materials like concrete, masonry, or wood that are constructed on-site, whereas pre-engineered steel buildings use components that are manufactured off-site and then delivered to the construction site. These two building methods are similar in that they each include design, foundation, framing, and finishes, but have the processes through which each of these steps are carried out differ greatly.
Conventional or Traditional Construction
Traditional construction occurs much more slowly on a step-by-step basis. First excavation is carried out and foundations are laid before framing can begin. Every step and piece of the building process must be completed before moving on to another step, which makes scheduling more complicated. Time and scheduling will depend on the efficiency of the tradesmen involved. The design process of conventional construction can affect the scheduling significantly, especially if the build is a complicated design. When each component is designed from scratch, as is usually the case with conventional construction methods, even a small construction project can take as long as six to ten months.
Advocates for conventional construction argue that it can be ideal for complex designs, but not only does it take longer, it also costs more than pre-engineered construction. While conventional building methods can often produce more complex buildings, this method has higher labour costs and produces a lot of construction waste. Conventional construction can provide more flexible design options, but it also requires thorough, ongoing maintenance. Because conventional construction materials like stone and concrete weigh more than those used in pre-engineered buildings, these buildings can actually weaken foundations over time.
Pre-engineered Steel Building Construction
Pre-engineered construction removes any need for a project architect or engineer. Due to its streamlined approach, the design of a pre-engineered building is quick, efficient, and flexible. Pre-engineered construction by its nature provides for simpler design. Each component is pre-fabricated to suit the design, after which the steel structures are delivered to the construction site.
With their simple design and prefabricated metal building components, prefab steel buildings can be quickly erected onsite. Also, since the framing components are pre-fabricated, foundations are accurately determined based on weight unlike in conventional construction, avoiding the dreaded weakened foundation mentioned earlier.
Advantages to Choosing A Pre-Engineered Steel Building
Construction Time Is Reduced
Pre-engineered buildings almost always take less time to construct than other building types. This is because the pre-engineered building components are designed and pre-built to be easy to assemble. With other building types, many processes and steps take place right at the construction site. With pre-engineered buildings, many of these steps happen before the parts have even left the factory. A small shed, for example, that would normally take weeks to build can take days. Larger buildings, like commercial structures as big as ten thousand square feet, are often completed in less than three months.
Costs Are Reduced
Because pre-engineered building components have been specially engineered to fit together easily, steel building kits are much less complicated to assemble than other building types. When the parts arrive at the construction site, the skill level required for their assembly is substantially lower because the components are prepared in-plant and often with automation. State-of-the-art computer-aided design and manufacturing processes (commonly referred to as CAD/CAM) are used to design and produce structural components with high strength-to-weight ratio, minimizing raw material costs and waste. Between the reduced time of construction and the level of skill required, construction costs can be reduced by more than half using pre-engineered buildings.
It Is Easy To Expand A Pre-Engineered Steel Building
Pre-engineered steel buildings are dynamic by nature, as they are built and designed to be modified quickly and economically before, during, and after the building is completed to accommodate all types of expansion. Pre-engineered buildings are usually expanded by removing the end of the building, erecting new framework, and adding matching roof and wall panels.
Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings are Durable and Weather-Resistant
Steel is one of the strongest building materials available in today’s market. It has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any construction material, at about 25 times greater than wood. In fact, steel frames are actually lighter than wood frames. Steel can also withstand extreme weather conditions including high winds, severe snow storms, hurricanes, and even earthquakes. Steel is also not susceptible to termites, creeping, cracks, splitting, rotting, and fire like wood is. Metal buildings structures are usually treated with special coatings like galvalume that protect their paint and surfaces from rust. Reputable manufacturers typically offer extended warranties on their paint and coatings that can last decades.
Steel Buildings Are Not High Maintenance
Pre-engineered steel buildings and their components require little to no maintenance. When it comes to keeping things clean, their surfaces are easy to clean with just soap and water.
You Know Where Your Building and Its Parts Came From
With pre-engineered steel buildings, one company is responsible for all of the separate components that make up a building. Customer and construction manager do not have to maintain a list of where each component came from, in case repairs under warranty are required.
Steel Buildings Can Be Functional AND Look Good
Steel construction technology has come a long way since steel first hit the market over half a century ago. These days steel buildings can be finished with the same exterior coverings that structures made of any other building material are. With prefabricated steel buildings, you can choose to add a finish that will prevent your steel building from sticking out like a sore thumb. Traditional finishes like stucco can be used to decorate pre-fabricated steel buildings or panels with a preferred color and texture combination can be used.
Pre-Engineered Buildings are Sustainable
Building construction and maintenance consumes a significant amount of energy, greatly increasing our eco-footprint. Choosing a pre-engineered steel building for your construction project is an environmentally responsible decision for many reasons.
Disadvantages to Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings
Design & Expansion Constraints
Buildings may require additions to accommodate growth. It is important to note that pre-engineered steel buildings usually only accommodate expansion if the addition is an extension of the existing building in a direction parallel to the ridge of the existing building.
One may, however, easily build additional floors and expand the existing structures if they work closely within the constraints of the existing build.
You can learn more about how easy it is to expand steel buildings here.
Durability and Longevity Issues
Some detractors of steel buildings claim that metal siding and roofs fade quickly and are easily dented. They argue that pre-fabricated steel buildings do not age well and look considerably different after a period of time.
Recent advances in steel building technology and finishes, however, have provided for increased longevity and strength, helping to avoid these concerns.
Finishing Details May Take Time
Finishing construction on pre-fabricated steel buildings has been said to be difficult. Because of the nature of the exterior walls in metal building systems, drywall cannot be directly attached without adding additional structures. If walls require insulation, an additional wall is generally used, decreasing the interior square footage. Also, the columns in prefabricated steel buildings are considered by some to be large and bulky, making them difficult to hide.
However, if you work with a reputable steel building provider, they will work closely with you to ensure these details are finished to your specifications and will make sure to communicate any timing changes or issues.
Why Steel is a Great Choice for Your Next Construction Project
No other building material dominates the industrial construction market like steel. Worldwide, steel framing constitutes nearly 95% of all new industrial construction projects.
What gives steel its competitive edge? Let’s review!
Steel is flexible. Mezzanine floor layouts are commonplace in pre-engineered steel building design. These layouts allow steel building owners to easily expand or contract usable space by adding and removing floors, openings, and interior walls.
Steel is precise. Manufacturing of steel building components is partially automated to ensure their precision. The finished steel component is then subjected to rigorous quality control testing to ensure reliability and consistency. Prefab metal buildings have many customization options available for your specific needs.
Steel is safe. It is the safest choice for nearly every building project or need, urban or rural, commercial or municipal. Years of extensive testing have ensured metal building kits are designed and engineered to strict safety standards. Recent advances have assisted engineers and architects in finding and catching potentially hazardous issues before construction even begins, allowing them to correct mistakes before they become an issue.
Steel is environmentally friendly. Steel buildings can be easily equipped with insulation that does not omit toxic by-products. Steel is also lightweight, making it easier to move around than wood or concrete, reducing fuel use and vehicle emissions from transportation.
Steels lasts a long time. Despite inclement weather, fire, earthquakes, or flood damage, properly designed steel lasts longer than any other building material on the market. Steel requires minimum maintenance, and unlike other building materials, it is resistant to rot and will not chip.
Steel looks great. Because of its unparalleled flexibility and strength, steel can be manufactured with unique and beautiful designs in mind. Steel is easily given texture through a variety of finishes that provide it with an aesthetically appealing appearance.
Steel can reduce your costs. Steel provides for considerable economic benefits, including accelerated turnaround times, reduced costs and labor expenses, and the possibility for an earlier return on your investment.
The Bottom Line
Pre-engineered construction isn’t ideal for every project type. Certain complex designs require conventional construction methods. Pre-engineered buildings are ideal for commercial and industrial construction projects such as pole barns, warehouses, garages, self-storage facilities, and office buildings. Pre-engineered buildings have a quicker turnaround time and can often be delivered within two months (as compared to six to ten months for conventional builds).
Between easy scheduling with less subcontractors, quick installation, and lower waste, the pre-engineered steel building method reduces costs and increases productivity. Only you know the exact specifications and needs that your building should fulfill. Choosing the right building method is the first step in any building project. If your design restraints are not too restrictive, pre-engineered buildings can provide for lower costs, lower waste, low maintenance, durability, stability, and ease of expansion in your next building project.

Global Steel Buildings Canada can deliver a pole barn which will meet your specifications.
During the depression of the 1930’s farmers chose the most cost effective materials available for new construction. Recycled telephone poles became posts to frame barns. The term pole barn originated from these depression era telephone pole barns.
The pole frame barn is a sturdy and reliable structure. Using posts buried into the ground, a pole barn is cheaper and more efficient to erect compared to other types of construction.
Advantages of Pole Barn Construction
A building’s foundation can be time consuming and expensive. Because a pole barn is supported by deep set poles, there is no need for a level concrete foundation to begin construction.
Pole barns are less expensive to erect. Other types of construction require extensive framing and more materials making your overall cost of construction higher. Construction is less labour intensive as well.
Pole barns can be better insulated due to the wide spacing between posts. The design naturally creates better ventilation promoting higher air quality.
A steel pole barn is the perfect solution for your agricultural needs. Whether you need a building for equipment storage, food processing, or housing animals, Global Steel Buildings Canada can meet your needs.
Our knowledgeable team can offer solutions to meet your needs. A steel pole barn is far more practical than traditional wooden barns these days. Offering efficiency, quality and durability, steel is the best choice for your investment. Read why steel pole barns are much better than wood here.
Our accessories department can help finish your building with energy efficient windows and doors. The Global Steel Buildings Canada warranty is second to none.
An astonishing 12.5 million metric tons — that’s how much steel Canada produces each year. Of that amount, the Great White North exported 5.8 million metric tons to 130 countries.
That should give you some idea of how massive the country’s steel industry is. So much so that it has become a $6.1 billion-sector.
Some of the essential uses of steel are in the construction industry. Steel for buildings, after all, has many advantages over materials like cast iron. It also bests wood-based components, such as timber, in terms of durability.
Ready to learn more about the perks of using steel building materials? Then keep reading, as we’ve rounded up five of the primary benefits of this alloy!
1. Long-Lasting and Durable
Steel was the primary material used in constructing the world’s first-ever “skyscraper.” This was none other than Chicago’s Home Insurance Building built back in 1885. It stood loud and proud for 46 years.
However, the only reason it’s no longer around is that it got demolished in 1931. It went down to make way for another steel-clad building. If it weren’t for this, the Home Insurance Building could have lasted for many more decades.
Some scientists say that steel used in buildings lasts for an average of 52 years. That means that they can live for a hundred years or longer. That’s how long-lasting this alloy is, and why it’s an excellent building material.
One reason behind steel’s longevity is its impressive dimensional stability. It has a much higher strength-to-weight ratio compared to wood. It isn’t prone to warping, nor will it creep, split, expand, or contract due to moisture.
2. Bug-Resistant
Termites are among the world’s most destructive pests, and they’re all over Canada. There are at least 30 areas in Southern Ontario with infestations, as well as Toronto and Ottawa. What’s even worse is that termite treatments for average-sized homes alone cost at least $3,500.
As you might have guessed, these insects feed mostly on wood and organic materials. Yes, they’re the same materials often used to support the weight and bear the load of buildings.
Termites aren’t your only enemy though — the same goes for woodworm, beetles, and sawflies. If these pests find their way into your property, they will be difficult to exterminate.
Steel doesn’t have the same propensity as wood when it comes to termite damages. Since it’s an alloy made of metals, termites (and other pests) wouldn’t feed on it.
Moreover, steel’s resistance to water won’t make it decay due to dampness. Unlike wood, it won’t turn all spongy or soft when exposed to moisture.
That makes steel one of the best materials for your construction project, be it a steel workshop or a garage. By using this alloy, you can make your building less prone to pest infestations.
3. Resilient and Non-Combustible
Of all materials used in non-metal and metal buildings, steel is still the most resilient. Its impressive resilience gives it the ability to withstand external shocks. Such shocks can result from earthquakes, blasts, hurricanes, and other natural disasters.
Also, steel is non-combustible, unlike wood, which is 100% burnable. It also doesn’t melt at the typical temperatures that structural fires often create. Since it doesn’t burn or melt, it won’t provide a source of ignition, nor would it serve as a fuel load.
With that said, if a fire does start in a steel-clad building, the alloy won’t contribute to its spread. It can also act as a barrier for fires, or at the very least, slow the flame’s transfer rate.
In these ways, structural steel also helps boost the overall safety of buildings.
4. Lower Associated Costs
Manufacturers and suppliers offer pre-fabricated steel components. As such, the materials come from a facility specifically designed for steel production.
Since you can get them in fabricated form, buying steel can reduce on-site labor. In addition, getting pre-fab materials helps reduce construction waste. With fewer waste materials on-site, there would also be less clean-up to do.
Furthermore, there are steel building accessories designed with energy-efficiency in mind. Insulation and roll-up doors, for instance, help prevent energy losses and gains. As a bonus, they help block external noise from permeating into your building.
All these then contribute to lower overhead building expenditures. Besides, the durability itself of steel means that you won’t need to replace them in just a few short years.
5. A Green and Sustainable Material
Steel isn’t something made for consumption — only utilization. Once produced, you can use it over and over again, whether as-is or in a repurposed form. This alloy is the only true cradle-to-grave-to-cradle type of recycled material.
That’s because steel is 100% recyclable. No matter how many times it goes through recycling, it won’t suffer from integrity loss. Meaning, you can recycle old steel beams and turn them into new steel beams.
That makes steel among the world’s most sustainable building components. It’s also why this alloy has become the most recycled material around the globe. By using steel in buildings, you can take a step closer to creating a green structure.
Few other materials, if there’s any at all, can compare to these sustainable features of steel.
Wood, for instance, usually only has a single-use as a building component. It’s recyclable, but once it goes through the process, it can never go back to serving its original purpose. For example, if you recycle an old wood beam, you wouldn’t be able to use the recycled material to create a new beam.
Use Steel for Buildings to Create Longer-Lasting Structures
There you have it, five of the primary advantages and benefits of steel for buildings. As you can see, it’s no doubt one of, if not the best material for constructing structures. With this alloy, you can enjoy a building that will last for decades, and if properly cared for, even a hundred years.

Expanding your business requires balancing the cost of new construction against the amount of profit you are hoping to make. It can be challenging to predict the future, so knowing if you’ll make a return on your investment is hard to determine.
Investing in steel outbuildings could be the answer to your expansion and investment questions. Read on to discover what many investors already know: that steel outbuildings are worth the investment.
1. Cost-Effective
When investing in real estate or expanding your business, making a profit means that you have to control your bottom line. It doesn’t take long for construction costs to get out of hand. The cost of materials and labor can increase rapidly depending on the size of the building and the materials you are using for construction.
Thus, if you’re looking for a way to spend within your budget, you need to consider steel outbuilding costs.
These buildings are prefabricated, which means that less material is wasted during the construction process. It also doesn’t require as many people to erect these buildings so that you can save on labor costs.
You’ll also be able to save on shipping costs. Since steel buildings require less material to erect, you should only have to pay shipping costs once to have the materials delivered to the building site.
Also, since there is little chance of construction delays, you can save yourself time in addition to money when it comes to investing in a steel building.
When working with an experienced contractor, it can take you weeks instead of months to have your building erected. This means that you can get to work as soon as the building in place. This allows you to make money faster so that you can earn a return on your investment.
3. Flexibility in Design
Steel outbuildings might come prefabricated, but you still have the option of choosing the floorplan that will work best for you.
Whether you are looking for a large steel outbuilding for your business or you need a small steel outbuilding for storage, you’ll get exactly what you need.
No matter what type of business you run, whether self-storage, agricultural, industrial, or anything else, you can design a steel building to suit your needs. They are so flexible, you can divide the inside to accommodate various offices or leave it open, so you have a lot of open space. You get to decide what works best for you.
Should you find that you need to expand your business again in the future, a steel building gives you the ability to do that quickly and easily.
You’ll never have to worry about running out of space or dealing with a layout that doesn’t quite fit all of your needs. You design the steel building to meet your specifications, making it well worth the investment.
4. Durability
Steel can stand up to strong winds, hurricanes, and earthquakes. Unlike other construction materials, steel won’t distort, buckle, rotate or divide. It’s incredibly durable and can withstand anything that Mother Nature throws at it.
Also, steel buildings are also resistant to termites and other destructive insects. They are also fire-resistant.
Thus, when investing in a steel building, you are getting a structure that can withstand a lot of damage. No matter what, your steel building will keep your employees and everything inside safe and protected.
5. Low Maintenance
Not only is a steel building durable, but it is also low maintenance.
The first thing people notice when they approach your building is how it looks. If it appears rundown or unkempt, this could lead customers to believe that you don’t care. This is certainly not the impression you want to give them.
To make a good impression and save yourself time and effort, investing in a steel building is your best option. Commercial steel buildings can look amazing for decades.
Without have to focus your energy on the constant upkeep of your building, you can worry about the things that matter. The top items on your list should be taking care of your customers and making more sales.
6. Energy Efficient
In addition to requiring little maintenance, steel buildings can also help you save on your heating and cooling bills.
Energy efficiency might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you imagine a steel building, but with the right insulation, they can be incredibly comfortable. Not only will you save during the erection process, but an energy-efficient steel building will continue to help you save into the future.
7. Resale Value
Steel outbuildings can hold onto their resale value. This is good news if you decide at some point to sell your business.
The fact that steel buildings are easy to reconfigure and expand might also make them a good investment for a new buyer. They may also be excited about the fact that the building requires little maintenance and still looks good after exposure to a variety of environmental conditions.
In essence, the same reasons that you decided to look for steel outbuildings for sale will be what makes them more intriguing for a new buyer.

Prefabricated steel buildings offer easy expansion options if need be for future growth. This makes pre-engineered steel buildings a popular choice and is a huge selling point One of the best reasons for constructing a steel building is for the ease of later expansion. The ability to expand can make your building much more profitable If you need to expand your growing business a pre-engineered steel building is the ideal choice. You can expand upwads, add on to the back or side, easy expansion without needing to start from scratch.If your business is ready for expansion due to growth or the need to diversity and increase production it is easily accomplished with a prefabricated building. Sp what factors into expansion? There are several methods to expand your existing pre-engineered steel building.
Building Up – Adding a Second-Story
Depending on your lot size you may not be able to expand from the sides. If you can’t mak an addition outwards you can add a second-story. To add a second-story to your pre-engineered steel building consider the following:
Can your building support a second story, can it support the additional weight? A well built structure should be able to support a second floor but an older building may not be able to.
If the building is older you can frame the second story so the structure rests on the foundation, not on the original building. The new floor will be supported by the foundaiton and not by the original frame. This will only work if you have the foundation space.
Expand to the Side
You can expand to the side by adding a new building to an exiting pre-engineered steel structure. If you choose this method you need to ensure that the two roofs sharing a common wall will not be suceptible to heavy loads which could cause a collapse of your structure. Heavy snow load is a consideration when coupling buildings together.
Expandable Endwalls
If the original pre-engineered steel building included expandable end walls, the addition of bays will allow you to expand the ends of the buildings. The structure must be built with the correct frame for this to happen. If it isn’t you can still expand but will need to shore up the purlins and grits before installing new connections. New endwalls will let you add-on to your exsting structure with metal panels for your new addition.
Comply with Codes
Your Global Steel Buildings Canada custom design metal buiding kits will be designed to meet the building codes of your location. If the original structure is older you will want to ensure it remains compliant iwth the building codes in your location. Some upgrades may be required to bring the building up to code.
