Build fast, build cheap, build adjustable

For the speed of it

Metal building erectors know that a well-organized steel building erection can be a rather rapid affair. That is one of the main reasons why the metal building industry is as developed as it is, creating employment for millions of people all over the country and being one of the engines of economic development for many decades. Metal building contractors and steel erectors are leading the charge, so to speak, supported by structural steel fabricators.

Time is money

The speedy nature of metal building erection comes in particularly handy in commercial properties development when the schedule of the new construction project has to be as short as possible, so the turnkey delivery of a commercial building can happen fast and business property can be put at its intended use and start making returns on the development investments.

General contractor, the mind behind it all

Construction management services, provided by general contractors, working alongside erectors of metal buildings, facilitate the efficient allocation of time and resources:

• Industrial-grade construction equipment, that requires a robust system of maintenance, qualified operators, and multi-level service support is of critical importance
• Efficient and reliable, high-quality structural steel fabrication
• Intricate logistics of construction materials and structural steel members delivery
• Highly-skilled employees including certified welders and trained and practiced erection team members
• Engineers and architects working together in constant interaction
• Sophisticated computer programs running the books and keeping supplies in check

All of that has to come together for commercial steel buildings to be erected on time, despite all of the adverse and often unforeseeable circumstances, thrown at the general contractor by the ever-changing real world.

8 benefits of structural steel commercial construction projects

But the results are totally worth it, just look at the benefits of commercial metal building construction:

1. A shorter project schedule and fast metal building erection save the clients substantial amounts of money and allow for faster returns on the investment going into property development
2. Steel-framed commercial building allows for easy floor plan adjustments, which keeps it flexible and thus extends the commercial building’s lifespan and allows for variability of space to meet prospective tenants requirements
3. Steel trusses and beams can span very long distances, saving the space that otherwise would be taken up by supporting walls or columns
4. Structural steel roofs can have great aesthetic value and add to the attractiveness of the business property
5. Steel buildings structure allows for easy and efficient installation and service access to electric and water supply systems, making the commercial building easily serviceable
6. Metal buildings maintenance cost is relatively low
7. Metal buildings are fire-resistant by nature
8. Structural steel buildings are very safe due to a high structural stability

Structural steel erectors play a major part in the general contractor’s master plan. Steel building erector is in charge of the steel frame erection, the crucial stage of the metal building construction process. To successfully accomplish this fit of logistics, engineering, and skilled craftsmanship, steel erectors have to:

• Have a well-trained and highly skilled erection workers team (the erection gang, as it is called by those in the steel building erection business)
• Possess and maintain all tools and equipment used in steel erection
• Have access to heavy equipment and machinery, including different types of lifting equipment, cranes, etc.
• Have a sound and strictly maintained on-site safety policy, since steel building erection is one of the most dangerous occupations in the building construction industry
• Qualified and experienced engineers must be a part of the erection team and supervise the steel erection process
• The coordination of this multifaceted effort has to be supported by using computer software to maintain accountability and enable efficient planning of supplies

Steel building erectors have to cooperate with steel fabricators, that fabricate columns, beams, girders and joists, trusses required for the project. The ideal situation in that regard is when a general contractor is dealing with a one-stop structural steel solutions company, like Structural Beam.
