Build a Backbone with Structural Steel Components
NSB can provide structural hot rolled steel beams, steel joists, and all components needed for your upcoming commercial, industrial, or retail structural steel projects. As commercial construction continues to be a large part of our economy, NSB is here to help you stay on budget and on schedule.
Versatile Building Backbone
Structural steel forms the backbone of many different types of building projects. A long-time favorite for commercial construction, structural steel is quickly becoming a new staple for residential developments and more architecturally demanding structures. It offers nearly unmatchable strength, durability, cost-effectiveness and productivity benefits. Steel frames can be combined with almost any other building material, such as concrete, brick or even glass.
Superior Strength and Durability
There are various grades of steel, but structural steel is particularly notable for its higher carbon count, which enhances its strength. It’s an excellent choice for framing due to its resistance to corrosion, rust, mold, and flames. Additionally, its high tensile strength and ductility make it ideal for buildings in regions prone to severe winds and earthquakes.

Steel construction is significantly faster than conventional building. After drawings are approved and materials delivered, installation typically runs weeks rather than months, depending on size and site work.
Steel goes up far faster than conventional construction. Once drawings are approved and materials delivered, installation usually runs weeks rather than months, depending on size and site prep.
Because components are pre-engineered and fabricated off site, steel hangars go up far faster than conventional construction. Timelines vary with permitting, site work, and size, but prefabrication removes most of the on-site cutting and welding that slows traditional builds.
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 3-12 weeks depending on the size and complexity of the building. Smaller buildings may be erected in 3-4 weeks, while larger commercial or industrial facilities may take 8-12 weeks. Our experienced erection crews at ProTrades, LLC, an NSB Company, work efficiently to ensure your building is completed on schedule.
Timelines vary with size, complexity, and permitting, but a typical steel warehouse moves from design and engineering to delivery in a matter of weeks, with installation once your site is ready. Because we handle engineering, manufacturing, and installation in-house, there are fewer handoffs and delays than a multi-vendor project.

Common hangars range from roughly 40×40 for a single light aircraft up to 60×60, 80×80, and much larger for business jets and multi-aircraft storage. Door width and clear height are driven by your largest aircraft’s wingspan and tail height.
Gyms and courts, riding arenas, indoor sports, event and community venues, and more. Clear-span framing gives you full-size, column-free floors with the ceiling height active uses need.
Equipment and machinery storage, hay and feed, livestock, workshops, and multi-use barns. Clear-span framing means no interior columns, so you get the full width to work with.
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.
The most common systems are bifold doors, hydraulic one-piece doors, and sliding or bi-parting doors. We engineer the hangar structure around your door choice so it opens reliably for the life of the building.
An aircraft hangar is an enclosed building used to store, protect, and service aircraft. Steel hangars use a clear-span frame, so the interior is completely open with no interior columns to work around when moving planes in and out.

Clear-span framing keeps sightlines open in the sanctuary and leaves room for fellowship halls, classrooms, offices, and nurseries, all without interior columns in the way.
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.
Steel is durable, fire-resistant, and low-maintenance, and clear-span interiors give you more usable working space than post-frame or wood-framed shops.
Steel delivers wide clear-span interiors, stands up to heavy snow and wind when engineered for it, and needs little maintenance, making it a durable, cost-effective choice for large open spaces.
Steel resists rot, fire, and pests, holds up to heavy snow and wind when engineered for it, and needs far less maintenance over its life. Clear-span steel also gives you wider, column-free interiors than post-frame.
