Thinking Residential

Steel buildings have all kinds of uses and though you might not immediately consider residential uses, there are ways they can be perfect for that as well. In most of North America, housing prices continue to rise, particularly in large cities with big populations. Whether it’s a brand new structure or making additions to an existing property, there’s plenty of opportunity to make steel buildings work for you! It’s important to consider what kind of structure you’re really looking for so you can make the right choice with the kind of steel structure you’ll need. The great thing about prefab steel is just how flexible they are, so there’s plenty of ways to make it work for you and meet your customization needs and wants. Here are just a few of the ways prefab steel can help any residential building project!

Cost Effective

Prefab steel is one of the most cost effective ways to create any kind of space, and residential use is no different. On average, you can expect to save around 30% off the usual cost of raw materials to build a structure of a similar size. Thanks to this, it’s much more accessible to a larger number of people to build this way. Not only do you save on upfront costs of the material itself, but the construction process is shorter making labour costs lower, waste removal costs almost non-exist as well as much lower long term costs of maintenance.

Easy Construction

Prefab steel is a simple enough premise that is just as simple to put together. Thanks to this, much less time and resources will be spent on a lengthy construction process, and you can make use of your structure much sooner rather than later. During the construction process, you won’t need to hire specialized contractors like you would for bricklaying or carpentry – saving you money as well as time in the process. A project that might take months with other building materials can be completed in a matter of weeks and sometimes even days.

Versatile

Most people tend not to think about residential or living space possibilities when they think about steel buildings because most of the examples they’ve seen are very industrial looking but the truth is, steel buildings are extremely versatile. It’s possible that you’ve seen prefab steel-based residential structures in the past and didn’t know it! With a variety of paint options for siding and trim, door and window placement, roofing options and even options to face the exterior with other more traditional materials – the possibilities are truly endless when it comes to steel buildings.

Durable

Steel is a material known for being one of the strongest, and this is perfect for any kind of construction. For years to come, your prefab steel structure will be able to stand up to all kinds of weather conditions as well as every wear & tear with the right coatings and protective paints. You won’t have to worry about constant repairs or replacements of parts of your structure either, since their strength means it won’t need regular maintenance like residential buildings made from other materials.
