What are Steel Commercial Buildings?

Commercial metal storage buildings are structures that are utilized for business, industrial, warehousing, or professional uses. Renowned for their versatility and ease of being utilized for numerous purposes, these structures use over 50% of the floor space for commercial use.

Whether it is to set up a new retail showroom or an automotive repair facility, steel buildings are built with rigid-quality frames and panels that offer high resistance and resilience to external elements, including weather conditions.

These metal buildings begin at a minimum width of 32 feet and do not feature any internal posts or columns, providing ample usable space and allowing you to optimally utilize the available area.

Types of Commercial Steel Buildings

• Clearspan Buildings: These structures do not feature any internal columns and can have a maximum width of up to 300 feet. You can freely optimize the layout of the structure to meet your needs.

• Multi-Span Buildings: These do feature internal posts and can be as wide as 600 feet. Enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the structure, multi-span designs work best for large commercial buildings requiring partitions.

• Industrial Buildings: These structures are meant for industrial purposes, including manufacturing, storage, production as well as distribution activities. Industrial buildings are likely to be certified upgraded structures that are sturdy enough to bear immense stress because of heavy-duty machinery.

• Recreational Buildings: Whether it is your gyms, indoor golf ranges, bowling alleys, yoga retreats, or multi-purpose halls, you can effectively transform your commercial buildings into recreational spaces and level up your business.

• Parking Structures: Metal buildings are increasingly being used as multi-level parking structures for commercial parking. Several business owners simply install them to function as stable parking structures open for all!

• Office Buildings: For small businesses or multi-billion dollar businesses, metal buildings are often used as office spaces with desktops and chairs, separate seating, pantry areas, meeting rooms, and private offices.

• Retail Buildings: If you own a retail business dealing directly with customers, consider investing in retail commercial buildings, which are ideal for setting up showrooms with personalized layouts and immense space for browsing.
