Testimonials

 
They manufactured my steel building and had it delivered in 2 weeks. I was skeptical at first, but they really backed up their promises.

I’ve actually referred 3 of my friends who’ve also bought buildings. They even saved me $3,500 buying direct.

I was able to buy direct from the factory and get a quality steel building for the same price as a pole barn. The building showed up on time; in fact, it was actually 1 week early.

I purchased three mini-storages and was able to save about $35,000 on the project buying direct from the factory.

Their erector installed the buildings quickly and efficiently. The entire process from start to completed building was about 3 months.

At first, I wasn’t sure they were going to be able to deliver on their promises.
My friends thought I wasn’t ever going to see a building delivered to my
job site.

In the end, the building price stayed the same, and I actually received it early. I was in constant contact with my sales rep and really appreciated their help.

Steel Building Foundations

When you plan to go in for a prefab steel building, you should also have its purpose completely defined. Depending on this, the type of foundation for your building can be decided upon. Since this is such a big decision for the building, you should be sure of what you are doing. A foundation is perhaps the most important part of the building that actually gives it stability and gives it strength. Therefore the importance of the foundation for the building should not be underestimated. In general, there are two types of foundations that are used for prefab steel buildings – the portable foundation and the permanent foundation. This classification is very broad in nature and there can be lots of variation within each type of foundation. However, you should know what each type really means.

Portable foundation, as the name suggests, is generally used for portable buildings like cabins that you might want out of prefab steel structures. Though this isn’t as strong as permanent foundation, it is quite sturdy nonetheless. Using anchor belts, the base plate is connected to the concrete perimeter and the steel building is then assembled on top of this industrial plate. There are many advantages and features of a portable foundation. There is no loss of the height of the building due to portable foundation. The most important advantage is that the steel building can easily be moved to another location. In addition, the time required for construction is significantly less in case of portable foundation than for permanent foundation. The process of construction is also simpler for a portable foundation. For a permanent foundation, it is very difficult to move the building to a new place and is generally the more used type of foundation for homes and industrial applications, since the building doesn’t need to be moved to a different place and also because there can be higher loads on the building.
