What is a Steel Building/Metal Building?

A Steelsmith pre-engineered metal building system provides substantial advantages in performance, and cost savings compared to conventional construction methods. All the components are engineered and fabricated at the manufacturing facility and shipped to the job site as a complete package. This allows for significantly faster construction than other building methods. And, because all the components are made from high quality American steel, a Steelsmith metal building is virtually maintenance-free.
An engineered steel building consists of the following elements:
Primary Framing
A Steelsmith steel building consists of solid web I-beam column and rafter primary framing. These columns and rafters are engineered specifically for your project’s site so that your steel building will meet or exceed your local wind and snow loads.
Secondary Framing
Attaching perpendicularly to the columns and rafters is the secondary framing. Secondary framing typically consists of cold formed Z and C channel steel girts on the walls, and purlins on the roof. Depending on the exterior cladding of the steel building, these members may also be extruded or welded.
Exterior Paneling
There are countless options for the exterior of a Steelsmith steel building. The basic building package includes 26 gauge GBR (Girt Bearing Rib) panel on the walls, and 26 gauge PBR (Purlin Bearing Rib) panel on the roof. These panels are sealed with a wide mastic tape, and screwed to the girts and purlins using a long life steel fastener painted to match the color of the panel. If you are interested in a more traditional look, Steelsmith can accommodate that as well. Steelsmith steel buildings can support split and decorative block, brick, stucco, and almost any other veneer you can think of.
Trim Packages
No matter what you choose for your building’s exterior, all Steelsmith steel buildings come complete with a full commercial trim package with the same color options you have on the panels. Eave trim, rake trim, corner and base trim, and even cover trim for your framed openings all comes standard with our buildings.

Our Reviews
Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steelsmith Inc. installed my 60' x 80' building (19 feet under the eaves) with a standing seam roof and a complicated insulation package. I had already purchased the building and talked to several companies, but Steelsmith was the only one with the expertise I needed. Jason and Rose could “talk the talk,” especially on the engineering details. Their engineering department worked directly with the crew to make sure everything matched the blueprints. The crew showed up on the exact date promised and worked professionally from start to finish. A few panels from the manufacturer were bad, and the crew stayed extra days to replace them and make sure the job was done right. I run a large company and I’m not easy to impress. I focus heavily on details, and Steelsmith didn’t need reminders — attention to detail is simply how they operate. I would absolutely use Steelsmith Inc. again. No BS — they just get the job done. — VicPosted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
