When your warehouse has reached it production capacity, your building can be expanded to accommodate your needs. When you expand the length of your building, the original end-wall may be reused (in most cases) saving lots of money. The design advances that are emerging today for manufacturing facility applications features a unique use of computer-aided design (CAD) to take the traditional components used in steel building construction and create thousands of customized structures specifically suited to your exact specifications. Components can be defined using a CAD approach and then modified until they fit the particular application. The “blueprint” is then downloaded into a computer-aided manufacturing process which completes that template for a pre-engineered structure. Each steel building receives the data from this computer program to pre-engineer your facility according to such regulations as building code restrictions.
Indeed, being able to meet the requirements of a building code (and in some cases, exceed it) you can help ensure the safety of everyone who will work there. Severe weather problems can be devastating against some poorly-constructed or ill-equipped buildings. However, with the help of this design innovation you can build your new steel building to withstand the harshest of conditions and protect everyone and everything that’s inside. Therefore, when you pre-build a new facility on a computer, you can be certain that it is a high-quality building and will be around for decades of operation.
The amazing assortment of exterior design choices is worth noting in more detail. You will have a number of choices that include stucco, glass, wood, brick, and stone to give your warehouse the best possible look. In other words, building with steel does not mean the building has to look like an ugly metal box. No matter how strict the building codes or local zoning restrictions, a steel building will easily accommodate such specifications.
The gain in popularity for pre-engineered metal building kits for the one and two story manufacturing construction market is due to the adaptability of steel designs for just about any use. Pre-fabricated steel building systems use a fully integrated set of mutually dependent components and assemblies that complete the steel structure. Included in all of these components are the manufacturing facility’s primary and secondary framing, a roof application and any accessories. Given these aforementioned features, to have a quality manufacturing plant-both in its appearance as well as in its function-the best investment to make is a pre-fabricated steel building system.
Finally, when using a steel building for a manufacturing facility, there is the benefit of the clear span frame. It does not need any interior columns or load-bearing walls to create an obstacle-free work area. It is possible to get the most out of your floor-space as the clear span allows the freedom to reconfigure the floor plan to accommodate your changing needs. When you got to construct a new manufacturing facility, the smartest approach will be to involve a steel building system.
