Pre-engineered metal buildings are a popular alternative to wood or stick-frame buildings in many different industries. In industrial and warehousing applications, steel buildings are particularly beneficial for companies that want to build fast and have long-lasting, versatile properties. At Rice Companies, we specialize in construction, repairs, and upgrades for steel buildings. Before you begin your next project, consider the unique benefits of pre-engineered steel buildings from the steel building pros.
One of the primary benefits of metal buildings is how long they can last without major repairs and updates. They are more resistant to many types of environmental damage that can otherwise shorten the building lifespan. Insects, rodents, and other pests cannot damage steel beams, roofs, or siding. Additionally, steel does not attract mold or rot. With proper construction techniques, steel buildings can withstand heavy snow, strong winds, and various weather extremes.
Modern manufacturing, industrial, and warehousing companies choose pre-engineered metal buildings because:
One significant advantage of metal buildings is their cost-effectiveness and speed of construction. Companies can quickly start new projects or expand existing properties. Small buildings, simple manufacturing facilities, and warehouses can be constructed in just a few days, while even more complex structures take far less time to complete than traditional construction methods. Industrial projects, in particular, benefit from modern practices such as pre-fabricating steel components and utilizing standardized layouts for warehouses and manufacturing centers. These approaches simplify production, assembly, and installation, while new structural techniques eliminate the need for conventional rebar and concrete processes.
Rice Companies specializes in developing, constructing, and maintaining pre-engineered metal buildings. We partner with Butler Manufacturing for their proven pre-engineered steel structures to construct, renovate, and expand buildings with high-quality fabrications that meet your specifications and industrial compliance standards for safety, performance, and durability. When you need to build fast or better to accommodate rising demand or new geographic regions, Rice Companies can get the job done right with our exceptional construction options and experienced team.
