How to Compare Pricing on Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings
One of the frequently asked questions we get about pre-engineered metal buildings involves the price. While we strive to provide the most affordable solution, there is no denying that a prefabricated metal structure is a significant investment for most of our customers. That’s why we do our best to ensure you’re making a smart decision to buy our steel building systems by sharing up-to-date information on pricing and how to compare products.
For
this blog, allow us to share tips for comparing prices on pre-engineered metal
structures. This will be helpful when verifying whether an Armstrong Steel
building kit is the most cost-effective choice.
Factors
influencing the price of metal buildings
Before we teach you how to compare pre-engineered metal buildings, we want to share the things that can impact their pricing. At Armstrong Steel, our quotation depends on these factors:
·
Your location (Design codes
wind, snow, seismic etc…)
·
Size of the building (width
and length)
·
Wall height
·
Roof pitch
The
size of your building allows us to determine the quantity and type of steel
frame parts, coating material, and construction time. Additionally, we want to
know where you will erect the pre-engineered metal structure so we can factor
in the local load-bearing requirements and building codes. All these can help
you provide a more precise quote to support your decision-making.
Additionally,
your price can be influenced by the cost of steel, which is affected by various
factors, such as:
· Oil and gas prices
· Supply and demand
· Global production
· China’s use of steel
· Current market conditions
Your timing
The cost of pre-engineered metal buildings can change depending on the factors we mentioned above. At Armstrong Steel, we make it possible to place an order for a small down payment. The sooner you order, the faster you will get your custom prefabricated steel structure.
Compare
prices from different providers.
We
understand that a pre-engineered metal building will be one of the most
significant purchases you will make. Whether you need one for a residence,
business, or any other application, we highly encourage you to get quotes from
other trusted providers and compare our estimate with theirs. This will allow
you to find the most competitive price that meets your budget.
The
most significant thing in researching metal building companies is understanding
the difference between a broker and manufacturer. Brokers do not make their own
product; they are simply selling designs made by another company. This can lead
to many hurdles in communication, quality, installation and warranty claims to
name a few. Armstrong Steel, however, is a true manufacturer of steel
buildings. We have delivered thousands of buildings that were made in house in
Denver, Colorado.
When comparing manufacturers and their prices, ensure their design and quality matches. With so many options on the market not every company will offer the same high level of service as Armstrong Steel. At Armstrong Steel, we offer a comprehensive service that includes design and engineering. Plus, we provide all the necessary drawings for securing building permits and assembling and erecting your pre-engineered metal buildings.
Why
compare prices?
Knowing
how much a pre-engineered metal building costs can help you in many ways:
· Informed decision-making
· Effective budget-planning
· Avoid unexpected costs
· Value assessment
· Ensuring the building is worth its cost for your application
Comparative shopping also allows you to choose the best manufacturer of pre-engineered metal buildings. This way you can entrust your project to a reliable and customer-centric expert like us. At Armstrong Steel, our in-house building consultants will work closely with you to deliver a well-designed structure that suits your exact requirements.
Are
prefab metal buildings more affordable than traditional construction?
When
building any structure, you want to ensure you can get the best value for your
money and time during construction and in the long run. You might be tempted to
choose traditional construction, believing that it’s more affordable to build
with concrete, wood, and other standard materials. However, you could end up
spending more money of these reasons:
·
Takes too long to build
Do you need the building soon? Pre-engineered
metal buildings are ready to assemble as soon as they arrive on
your property, ensuring faster installation. At Armstrong Steel, we provide an
erection guide, assembly drawings, and anchor-bolt patterns to guide you and
simplify the building process so you can use your new structure within a few
days or weeks. On the other hand, traditional wood construction can take at
least a few months to finish.
·
High-maintenance structures
Traditional buildings require regular upkeep, which can be expensive throughout
their lifespan. They often need special treatments to protect against termites,
rot, and moisture. Meanwhile, Armstrong Steel's prefabricated metal structures
are low-maintenance. In most cases, you just need to apply Galvalume to extend
the lifespan of the steel roof panels.
·
Not as durable as metal-frame
structures
Are you building in an area that’s prone to hurricanes, heavy snowfall,
flooding, or earthquakes? Pre-engineered
metal buildings can withstand anything nature throws at them.
Plus, they are non-combustible, meaning they won’t ignite or spread fire easily
like with wood-framed structures.
Don’t
settle for cheap metal buildings.
Cheap, tubular-framed metal buildings are not as high-performing as our pre-engineered metal buildings. You might spend more time and money trying to keep them intact. Plus, they might not be as versatile as our products.
At
Armstrong Steel, we only use the highest grade of steel from reliable
suppliers, ensuring a robust, reliable, and cost-effective structure. We don’t
recycle designs, ensuring your prefab steel structure is as unique as your
requirements.
