PRE-ENGINEERED METAL BUILDINGS

You may have seen terms like prefab metal building and pre-engineered metal building and wondered what they mean and the difference. For example, a prefab metal building usually refers to a building that has its frame initially fabricated in a factory and then delivered and assembled at the installation site. “Pre-engineered” refers to a steel building that has been custom-designed to meet specific engineering requirements. 

We offer durable, versatile, and highly-customizable prefab metal buildings at American Metal Structures for all your storage needs. You can choose colors, styles, doors, windows, sizes, and more according to your specifications. Contact our friendly buildings specialist to order your custom prefab building; we will help you design your dream building.

Are Buildings from American Metal Structures Prefab or Pre-Engineered?

The answer is yes! Our buildings are all precision-engineered and then fabricated to your exact specifications. None of our buildings comes off a shelf; we custom-design, fabricate, and install each of our prefab, pre-engineered steel buildings to-order! We can provide a custom steel structure solution to meet specific wind and/or snow loads, as well as your particular local building code standards and regulations.

Advantages of Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings

Pre-engineered steel structures and pre-engineered building kits are superior to those made with wood or other materials for a number of reasons:

  • Rugged Durability – Steel is simply the strongest, most rugged building material available. It can better handle constant use and ongoing challenges from Mother Nature, and it won’t rot like wood. Steel also won’t host mold, mildew, termites, or most other pests, either.
  • Expandable & Adaptable Structure – The versatility of steel for building design gives you more customization options and lets you maximize use of your building’s interior space. It’s also easier to adapt or expand a pre-engineered steel building as your needs change.
  • Faster Assembly & Installation– Need a structure now, and don’t have time to wait for how long it takes to get a stick-build up? Our pre-engineered structures take much less time, labor, and energy resources to build; once the engineered components are delivered to your site, most of our buildings from American Metal Structures can be installed in just a day or two!
  • Easier Maintenance – Steel is easier to clean and requires less maintenance than stick-builds or buildings made from other materials. You won’t have to worry with the same paint peeling or fading issues, either.
  • More Cost-Effective – It’s actually more cost-effective to build with steel than it is with many construction materials, especially for large-scale applications. And since steel is naturally fire-resistant, it’s possible to save on insurance costs, too. American Metal Structures is proud to give you more bang for your buck when it comes to getting the most out of your pre-engineered steel building!
