Frequently Asked Questions

The most common three are LGS buildings, red-iron buildings and tube frame buildings. Each has their particular benefits though LGS buildings far outweigh the other two systems for structures between 750 square feet and 20,000 square feet.

It's important to know what you're getting. For instance, if we gave you an estimate for $45,000 and another company gave you a quote for $39,000, you might draw certain assumptions without knowing the underlying cause of the difference.

It would make sense if the $39,000 quote came for a tube-frame structure, which has a 20-year warranty. Compare that to the 50-year warranty on the LGS buildings. Most people would agree that spending just $6,000 to guarantee an additional 30 years of use for your building is worthwhile.

We offer much more than just a space to store things, work, or play in our steel buildings. If allowed, our buildings significantly increase a property's worth on the majority of them. For instance, if the whole cost of the building project was $100,000 (concrete, installation, amenities, permitting, and building costs), you can typically increase the value of the property by around 2.5 times that amount. In the aforementioned example, you ultimately spend $100,000 to add $250,000 to the property's worth.

That is a really good question. Hot Rolled Steel (HRS) or Red iron structures are technically outdated constructions created using low-tech techniques. They are bulky in dimensions. Light gauge steel (LGS) structures are the most cutting-edge approach to a building system. By using LGS you get the most out of every square foot of steel used.

In most cases you will need to pull a building permit to build a steel building, but not always. For example, some locations do not require a permit to build agricultural buildings. It’s always good to check with your local permitting office!
