Tubular Framed Metal Buildings Continue To Outperform Red Iron Construction
Steel is a hot commodity.… in more ways than one. Not since the 2008 housing crisis, has there been such a high premium on this highly sought after building material. The reasoning behind this sudden increase is long and exhaustive. Despite the sound advice of leading economists, builders and manufacturers alike still have no idea when exactly pricing will stabilize. Although we’re all hopeful for a decline in pricing in late 2021, the exact timing is far from certain. With so much uncertainty dominating the construction industry, builders are looking for more practical solutions to their materials dilemma. As a result, tubular framed metal buildings have emerged as a leading catalyst to reignite our nation’s once booming construction industry.
In most situations, tubular framed metal buildings are just as tough as traditional red iron or I-beam construction. When tackling mammoth construction projects, many engineers have chosen red-iron construction as the go-to model. Those massive I-beams, which are responsible for the rapid growth of American skylines during the 20th century, are iconic as they are strong. They are capable of carrying substantial loads and can last for decades to come. Red iron construction can be found in everything from stadiums and skyscrapers to warehouses and factories. Needless to say, I-beam construction will continue to play an integral role in shaping our nations infrastructure. But not every job requires an oversized solution. In fact, tubular framed metal buildings are a cheaper and just as strong alternative to medium and large projects.
Tubular Framed Metal Buildings Will Keep Projects From Stalling and Missing Deadlines
As we said before, not every large project requires red iron construction. Some smaller warehouses and industrial sized facilities can benefit from metal tubular construction. For starters, steel tubed construction is lighter and easier to transport to the job-site. Greater flexibility also means less time waiting for heavy gauge steel to arrive to complete a project. And just like red iron construction, steel framed metal buildings from Elephant Structures can withstand extreme temperature and weather events, so you don’t have to worry about your building buckling under duress. Tubular framed structures can last just as long as those tried-and-true I-beams. Material engineers will also delight in the malleable and flexible nature of intrinsic tubular framing. Instead of projects stalling as foremen await for special-ordered building supplies, project engineers can streamline a project along with the versatility of steel tubular framing.
Steel Tubed Buildings Are Most Cost-Effective For Building Barns, Warehouses, RV Garages and More!
Ever wondered how prefabricated metal buildings came to dominate both the industrial and residential markets? Prefab metal buildings are inherently cheaper and lighter than heavier gauges of metal. They are also easier to erect, as well as disassemble! Steel tubed buildings are synonymous with “turnkey” and almost anyone can put together one in a fraction of the time as what it takes to construct red iron I-beams. You don’t need an advanced engineering degree to figure out if your tubular framed metal building is up to the task of withstand tremendous loads. Our experienced in-house engineers take out all the guess work for you. We will calculate the exact wind and snow loads unique to your location and design a building that’s as tough as traditional red iron construction in fraction of the time and a percentage of overall pricing!
