Q) What advantages do steel buildings have over wood structures?
A) Steel buildings have several advantages over those built with wood:
* Strength – Steel buildings can bear higher loads because the structural components which are fastened by high strength nuts and bolts do not expand, contract, or warp like wooden components do over time. These changes which can take place in wood structures weaken the structure’s ability for load bearing
* Durability – Steel does not deteriorate like wood does. Damages from warping, termites, and dry rot are common in wood structures but unheard of in steel buildings.
* Maintenance – Steel buildings require much less maintenance which reduces costs.
* Fire – Because it is non-flammable, fire is much less of a risk. This also reduces costs.
Q) How the cost of a steel building compare against buildings made with other materials? A) System-built steel buildings are among the lowest cost to construct due to the relative price stability of materials, reduced maintenance, and lower insurance premiums.
Q) How will my steel building be constructed? A) Depending on the scale of the project, steel buildings can be built with or without a professional contractor. MBSC provides simple yet detailed building instructions allowing for clients to construct their own buildings. Larger projects are often beyond the scope of most individuals so bringing a general contractor on to the project usually makes sense.
Q) How much will it cost ship a steel building? A) MBSC Direct has eight shipping points across the country which minimizes the shipping distance and cost of freight.
Q) Can I customize my steel building? A) Yes. Our building systems allow for customization of any project, allowing for a wide variety of styles, finishes, trims, and colors to give you a full spectrum of customization options.
