Are you looking to expand an existing facility? Or do you want to start fresh with a new construction project? Commercial metal buildings offer a versatile and cost-effective solution.
As the premier metal building contractor in Nebraska, Lacey Construction has seen first-hand the many advantages these structures provide.
Here are our top 5 reasons to choose commercial metal buildings for your growing operation.
Lower Construction Costs:
Metal buildings provide significant savings over traditional construction methods like concrete or masonry. The lightweight steel panels and truss systems are engineered off-site for quick assembly, minimizing time-consuming and expensive tasks like welding, plumbing, or electrical rough-ins. According to our estimates, comparable concrete structures typically run 20-40% higher in initial costs. Faster construction also means less time wasted and a quicker return on your facility investment.
Durability and Longevity:
Commercial metal buildings are designed to withstand the elements year-round with high-performance roof and wall panels. Galvanized steel coatings protect against corrosion for decades of use. Should repairs ever be needed, individual components like panels or trusses are easily replaced. With proper maintenance, metal structures have reliably served businesses for 50+ years. Their durable frames also allow for future expansion as your needs change.
Versatile Design Options
Contemporary metal buildings offer unique styling options with modern aesthetics inside and out. From classic ribs to full-arch structures, various roof lines are available to complement any architecture. Wall surfaces can replicate traditional materials like brick or stone. Skylights and window patterns control natural lighting. Interior finishes are also customizable for optimum function. This versatility accommodates various commercial and industrial uses.
Low Maintenance
The primed and painted steel finishes of metal buildings require minimal upkeep over time. Harsh weather rarely impacts their integrity. In comparison, other building materials demand constant re-painting, re-shingling, or re-waterproofing to avoid deterioration. Metal structures stay weathertight with little more than periodic washing. This significantly reduces long-term maintenance expenses.
Sustainable Design:
Being engineered off-site, metal building construction produces less jobsite waste than conventional build methods. Their durable steel shells also last much longer than other structures before requiring replacement or demolition. This extends the usable lifespan of commercial facilities, conserving both resources and landfill space. Metal is likewise 100% recyclable at building's end.
