Whether you are looking to expand your current business or are preparing to lift it off the ground with a new structure, steel buildings are the way to go in many construction projects. Gone are the old pre-engineered metal buildings with limited styles and bare necessities; commercial steel buildings are getting a makeover and can fit any business you are starting. Reel Steel Construction has been helping construct these prefabricated buildings for years in Florida, and can help you with your dream business.
What Are PEMBs?
Short for pre-engineered metal building, PEMBs are the typical prefabricated structures you’re used to seeing as airplane hangers, warehouses, industrial facilities, storage and more. First constructed and used in the 1960s, these buildings were bare-bones and simply made to provide protection against the elements. With recent developments, however, these buildings are getting a revamp in their facade, leaving them well-equipped to handle the business world, and are popping up more and more in recent years as banks, offices, retails spaces, churches, schools, and more, including government facilities.
Steel Buildings
These commercial steel buildings are being used for anything and everything, and for good reason; the buildings offer many incentives both in cost, manpower and overall ease of getting off the ground for starting businesses quickly. Time is money in the construction world, thus a PEMB saves you and the construction crew many hours of labor as all the framing components come ready to assemble. Every piece is cut, welded, drilled, and painted at the factory, so all you have to do is basically put the building together like a puzzle. Every component is easily identified and the plans indicate all the correct placements of every pre-labeled framing piece. All this eliminates the need of additional labor hours on the job site, saving time on the overall build and cost since you don’t have to hire additional specialized laborers, such as welders. Steel’s strength creates a strong and durable structure with fewer pieces than traditional buildings, which means faster construction.
And obviously with so many pieces pre-labeled and not many components total, the actual building time is significantly cut in constructing the building. Many people will even construct the PEMBs on their own, since the process is so quick and painless. This saves you even more money in the long run, although you will need some assistance depending on the size of the building you are dealing with. With steel, it’s strength-to-weight ratio makes the total framing package lighter than typical buildings, requiring less concrete when erecting steel onto a slab. This allows you less concrete usage and thus, more savings in the long run. And with traditional building construction sites, there’s often a lot of debris leftover that requires clean up before you’re ready to go, which can easily accumulate into added labor costs. Commercial steel buildings produce very little scrap, leaving much less necessary cleanup and as an added bonus, any leftover steel scrap can be sold for recycling.

No matter what your business is going to be, a prefabricated steel building is the way to go. Not only do these buildings save you on labor and construction time, this also translates into additional cost savings which can help you build your business and brand into the years to come.
