Applications
Built forthe work you do.
Cold-formed steel can be a practical fit for many kinds of buildings. Here's how it may apply to yours — and what to think about before you request a quote.
Workshops.
A workshop has to fit the way you work — room to move equipment, doors sized for what comes in and out, and space for benches, storage, and power.
- What equipment or vehicles need to fit through the doors?
- Do you need clear interior space without columns?
- Will you hang anything from the structure, like lighting, fans, or a hoist?
- Is a coated floor part of the plan?
Commercial buildings.
For businesses that need practical, functional space, steel can be worth comparing. Commercial projects often involve additional code, permitting, and site requirements, so early details help.
- How will the space be occupied and used?
- What does your local building department require?
- Do you have site plans or drawings from a design professional?
Agricultural buildings.
Farm buildings work hard. Think about what the building will house, the equipment that needs to get in and out, and the environment inside — livestock, fertilizer, and feed can be tougher on materials than dry storage.
- Equipment, hay, feed, livestock, or a mix?
- Door widths and heights for your largest equipment
- Ventilation and the interior environment
Storage buildings.
Enclosed storage keeps materials, inventory, and supplies protected and organized. Access, door placement, and how you'll move items in and out shape the layout.
- What are you storing, and how is it handled?
- Do you need climate control or insulation?
- How many access doors, and where?
Equipment protection.
Covering vehicles, machinery, and equipment helps shield them from sun and weather. Clearance heights and open sides or enclosed walls are the first decisions to make.
- Tallest and widest item you need to cover
- Open, partially enclosed, or fully enclosed?
- Site access for large equipment
