Thinking About Agricultural Steel Framed Buildings?

In the past 100 years or so, steel has become the foremost material for agricultural buildings. There are many advantages to using steel over wood and other traditional construction materials. The more agricultural steel frame buildings we erect, the more we understand the characteristics, limitations and importance to the evolving rural economy. Here are the top 5 justifying facts you may not have realized when considering a new steel building. Steel frame buildings are cost effective because of three factors. Firstly world steel prices remain relatively low and stable while wood and lumber prices are high and unpredictable. Secondly prefabrication means less construction time and labour costs and thirdly steel is much longer lasting and robust thereby cutting down on maintenance and insurance costs compared to timber frame construction.

Steel lasts longer because it never rots, never molders nor shrinks and unlike wood will never be attacked by insect infestation. Steel structures stand firm against fire, wind and Earth tremors. Steel frame builders are simpler to manage and insure because they are built by a single source company rather than multiple trades that can be a nightmare when it come to warranty claims.

Steel is green. It is a good alternative green material choice not only because prefab steel framed buildings are thermal and energy efficient, but also because steel is one of most recycled product. Steel scrap is reused in making new steel. So while a 2,000 square foot house takes 50 trees, a steel-framed building uses about six scrapped cars. Steel framed building have a proud history. The first rural construction to use an iron frame was the Ditherington Flax Mill, built in 1796 in Shrewsbury. Necessity was the mother of invention then as now and too many mills were being lost to fire. In 1889, the Rand McNally building in Chicago became the first skyscraper with an all-steel framework.

In the 1920s and '30s, steel building companies were grew and began producing prefab buildings in large quantities. The new designs became known as Quonset huts and played an important role in the War as aircraft hangers and storage facilities.

Steel framed building are flexible. Our modern buildings are as different as the uses to which they are put. Remember that they are completely bespoke and easily extended and adapted over time and in line with changing needs. It really doesn’t matter what the original size and shape of your building was, removing internal or external walls, adding extra panels and building new frameworks are easy projects, with quick erection times and minimal costs.

From steel hay barns to tractor garages the sheltering potential for steel frame buildings is without limit. The one constant thing with steel frame buildings is the ease and speed with which they are erected. Prefabrication in the expert steel manufacturing factories has the parts assembled then delivered for a minimum hassle building process.
