Industrial Buildings Information
Prefabricated Industrial Steel Buildings
When it comes to constructing an industrial or manufacturing facility, a prefabricated steel building is one of the best options. It can provide ample space and variable roof heights to accommodate both your employees and equipment, ensuring safety and efficiency without compromise. Not only can we provide prefabricated steel structures for your industrial needs, but our services also guide you through every step of the planning and design process.
Prefabricated Industrial Steel Buildings Cost
Industrial and manufacturing facilities are often large-scale projects. They need to be safe for employees utilizing large machinery, such as conveyor belts and crane systems. That means it’s essential for you to find an affordable construction option. Prefabricated steel buildings are a more cost-effective option compared to many other materials. The lightweight metal means less labor and construction costs. During the design process, we’ll look at every contributing factor so you know what cost to expect. We consider every aspect and work to help increase your cost savings by reducing weight and load considerations when possible. We can provide you with a free quote to start.
Determining Your Clearance Requirements
Every building should put safety first, especially industrial facilities where heavy machinery, chemicals and power tools are used. That’s why it’s important to have an unobstructed interior clearance for any tasks being performed. Ceiling height is also an important consideration, as these facilities may house tall machines and crane beams. The clearance requirements will help us determine the proper load distribution throughout the structure, ensuring safety and stability. We’ll take a look at what you plan to do with the space and decide how the structural elements will work together for you to safely achieve your goals. This means reaching an interior clearance without going over a maximum exterior ridge height.
Aesthetics of Prefabricated Industrial Steel Buildings
Even though function and safety should be at the top of your priority list, you can also consider aesthetic features such as glass, brick or stone to elevate the environment. The aesthetics of the building are discussed early in the design process to ensure that the structure can properly handle the additional weight and pressure for the attachment and safe load considerations.
Wall and Roof Panel Options
Durability and sustainability are essential for industrial buildings. We have wall and roof panels that fit your particular needs and environments, and provide a sturdy structure while being resilient against elements like wind and rain. You can even choose colors that reflect your company’s brand and identity. We offer a variety of different panel finishes, such as embossed or textured. You can even choose insulated panels. Proper insulation can help keep the temperature comfortable for your workers during their shifts.

Yes, steel buildings from National Steel Buildings are designed and engineered to meet local building codes and requirements. Our buildings are engineered to comply with the International Building Code (IBC) and are designed to meet specific local requirements including wind loads, snow loads, and seismic requirements based on your building location. We provide all necessary engineering drawings and documentation required for building permits. It’s important to work with your local building department early in the process to ensure all requirements are met. Our team has extensive experience working with building departments across the country and can help guide you through the permitting process.
The construction timeline for a steel building depends on several factors including the size and complexity of the building, site preparation requirements, and weather conditions. Generally, pre-engineered steel buildings can be constructed much faster than traditional buildings. The manufacturing process typically takes 4-8 weeks after order approval, and on-site erection can often be completed in just a few days to a few weeks depending on the building size. Smaller buildings may be erected in 1-3 days, while larger commercial or industrial facilities may take 2-6 weeks. Our experienced erection crews at ProTrades, LLC, an NSB Company, work efficiently to ensure your building is completed on schedule.
The cost of metal buildings varies significantly based on several factors including size, location, design complexity, and additional features. Generally, steel buildings are more cost-effective than traditional construction methods. Factors that influence pricing include building dimensions (width, length, height), wall and trim color selections, insulation requirements, doors and windows, and local building codes. At National Steel Buildings, we offer factory-direct pricing that can save you thousands compared to traditional construction. We recommend using our online quote tool to get an accurate price for your specific building needs.

Steel buildings are incredibly versatile and can be used for a wide variety of applications. Common uses include agricultural facilities (equipment storage, livestock stables, hay storage), commercial buildings (retail space, corporate headquarters), industrial facilities (warehouses, manufacturing plants), garages and auto repair shops, aviation hangars, boat storage facilities, churches and religious buildings, recreational buildings (gyms, sports facilities, riding arenas), and residential applications (workshops, barns, and even homes). The flexibility of steel building design allows for customization to meet virtually any need, from small personal storage buildings to large commercial and industrial facilities.
National Steel Buildings stands behind the quality of our products and services. We offer comprehensive warranties on our steel building systems. The specific warranty terms depend on the components and materials used in your building. Typically, our steel building systems come with manufacturer warranties covering materials and workmanship. Paint and finish warranties are also included, often ranging from 20 to 40 years depending on the coating system selected. We recommend discussing warranty details with your sales representative during the quoting process to understand the specific warranty coverage for your building. Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction means we work to resolve any issues that may arise during and after construction.
Steel buildings offer numerous advantages over traditional construction methods. They are highly durable, resistant to fire, pests, and extreme weather conditions. Steel buildings are cost-effective with lower construction costs, reduced insurance premiums, and minimal maintenance expenses. They also feature quick construction times due to pre-engineered designs, meaning faster delivery and installation compared to traditional buildings. Additionally, steel requires minimal upkeep and resists rot, mold, and corrosion for years to come.
