Work With A Metal Building Specialist
When you decide to build with a prefab metal building, you need to work with a metal building specialist.
When you work with a company that has experience with metal buildings, you get someone who knows that both the product and metal building construction is critical.
The metal building specialists at STEVENS bring years of hands-on construction experience and a thorough knowledge of pre-fabricated steel building systems to the table.
STEVENS knows the right questions to ask so they can get a complete picture of what your project will need before giving you a building quote to begin the metal building construction.
They are also prepared to answer any questions you have.
They can also offer valuable insights and knowledge about your pre-fabricated metal building that can streamline the project, saving even more time.
High-Tech Engineering and Design Software
Steel is a strong, consistent, and predictable building material, lending itself well to state-of-the-art computer-aided design software.
When you use sophisticated engineering software, you can dramatically reduce design time for your metal building system.
Three-dimensional structural analysis software can assure structural integrity throughout all prefab metal building projects.
This design software can quickly and efficiently generate manufacturing drawings for individual framing components, speeding up the manufacturing process.
Fewer Framing Pieces
Steel has the strongest strength-to-weight ratio of any building material.
You can use design and engineering software to create the most efficient use of steel.
That means that metal buildings' framing requires far fewer framing components to get an excellent, durable structure.
Fewer pieces mean less time spent on the framing of prefab metal buildings.
Everything Ships Together
All the options you order with your framing package will arrive with your steel.
So if you ordered exterior sheathing, interior steel sheathing, skylights, wall lights, vents, gutters and downspouts, and insulation materials, they would all come at the same time as your steel.
You don't have to wait around for shipments from other sources, so your metal building construction can begin right away.
Faster Framing Erection Saves Time
Your structural components will arrive from the factory in a pre-engineered metal building system, ready to assemble.
You don't have to cut, weld, punch, or drill anything.
Everything in your kit will come marked and ready to bolt and screw together for quick metal building construction.
A prefab metal building from STEVENS works much like a life-sized erector set.
You will also save time on the lateral framing with pre-welded clips.
Most clients find they reduce construction time by 33% or more when using prefab steel buildings.
Less Clean-up and Waste
STEVENS metal building systems will drastically reduce your waste, especially when compared with other methods of construction.
The little waste that does remain after construction is quickly sold at a local scrapyard.
