Benefits of steel beams for building construction industry

Lower average construction project length

The use of structural steel beams and steel-framed construction helps to greatly reduce on-site labor costs, and really speed up the erection of commercial and residential buildings.

Free space instead of pesky columns

The use of steel support beams, and steel columns in residential steel-framed construction projects allow for open-concept habitat design. A wide-flange steel beam, with its superior spanning capacity of 330 feet, helps to do the same for the commercial buildings, creating an open-plan space without bulky columns that can be easily adjusted according to the prospective renter’s requirements.

Free plan for commercial building construction

The steel-framed building construction does away with the load-bearing wall, saving internal space by using structural steel beams instead of heavier building materials. This allows saving on the construction of the building’s foundation, due to the lighter overall weight of the steel-framed buildings.

How much does a load bearing steel beam cost?

A load-bearing beam cost is calculated after the detailing and estimation are done by qualified specialists, and will include the cost of raw materials, cost of labor to fabricate the load-bearing steel beam to the specs from the blueprint, hope you’ve got one. If not, consider using our steel designing and engineering service!

What does a 12 foot steel beam weigh?

The weight of a 12-foot long steel beam will depend on the specs of the beam. Different sizes of beams will have a different weight per foot. E.g., a bantam or junior beam of 12 feet will weigh approximately 22 pounds and a sturdy W-beam will weigh in at anything from 40 pounds onward.

What size of steel beam do I need?

The required size of a steel beam for a particular application is best determined by a qualified structural engineer, according to the IBC codes. We wholeheartedly recommend not to take it lightly and consult with a professional structural steel designer, to make sure that the resulting construction is structurally sound, and is safe to use.
