These more traditional materials have stood the test of time as quality go-tos for building homes in many different weather conditions.

But what about steel buildings? Typically, we think of much more industrial uses for steel buildings, but it is quite possible to create a great home, particularly using out A-Model buildings.

Save Time & Money

Using a steel building for your home will end up costing around 30% less than more traditional building methods, so you’re seeing an immediate benefit by going with this option. Because the pieces are engineered and prefabricated before being shipped, they arrive ready to piece together in much less time than other types of buildings. Because of this, you save money as well as time. Less construction time means less money spent on labour as you don’t need hired contractors for the same period of time -and the ready-to-use pieces means there won’t be leftovers to create waste for junk removal.

Little To No Maintenance

In addition to these upfront benefits, you’ll also largely avoid one of the biggest costs in home ownership: maintenance. Often with other materials, they deteriorate in a matter of years to just a little over a decade – and often all at different times, meaning it may feel like a constant flow of fixes for the homeowner. Steel is a highly durable material that can last for decades without much, if any, maintenance. Inspections should still be carried out, however it’s more likely you will go longer periods of time without requiring any work on your home.

Customizable

Due to its industrial appearance, it’s understandable that prospective homeowners may shy away from this option – wanting a more traditional look to their residence. It’s important to understand that there are a whole host of insulation, interior wall and design options as well as exterior paint options that will give you a truly unique home and space.
