WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF GOVERNMENT METAL BUILDING?

Government agencies must minimize damage to buildings that can hinder government workers from doing their jobs.Traditional structures with wood frames are incredibly easy to ruin or destroy.Lumber and other traditional materials are more susceptible to termites and rodents.

Strong winds, heavy rains, and other natural disasters can completely destroy a wooden structure.

And even if the building isn't completely destroyed, wood building frames can allow for a lot of damage to be done to items within the structure.

They won't keep out moisture, so if there’s a heavy rainstorm or flood, the contents of your government building will be damaged.

And wooden buildings don't stand a chance against fires.

Any natural disaster or pest infestation can result in important documents being lost, public funding being eliminated, and the destruction of computers and technology.

But if you construct a pre-engineered steel building, the concerns for any of these scenarios will be mitigated.

Pests can't eat through steel, and metal structures can hold up to the toughest natural disasters.

And steel also is waterproof and resistant to fire, so the contents of your government building will be safe in the most extreme conditions.

METAL BUILDINGS HAVE FASTER CONSTRUCTION TIME

If you need more space or a brand new building sooner than you first expected, you can meet your deadlines if you build with steel.

Just like business owners who build commercial buildings with steel, the sooner a government agency can get into their new structure, the better.

Opting for a pre-engineered metal building for your government or municipal facility is perhaps the fastest way to get your project completed.

With steel construction, the building is constructed in an indoor facility.

Then the parts are sent to the job site and put together using construction diagrams that list pre-cut components and designated numbers for use in the structure.

Since the components arrive prefabricated at your site, no cutting or welding is required.

Construction time is often cut in half if you choose to build with steel over traditional methods.

STEEL STRUCTURES ARE EASY TO EXPAND

Many project managers choose to build with steel because they are easy to expand in the future.

Metal building systems are constructed using plates of steel that make them incredibly easy to expand.

With traditional building methods, both interior and exterior walls would need to be knocked down, and load-bearing walls have to stay in place to make way for an annex to be built.

This costs a lot of money, and it creates debris and damage that would put that part of the building out of commission.

Expanding a traditional building could take weeks or months and cost tens of thousands of dollars.

But metal buildings don’t require this type of construction for expansion.

Steel panels can be removed when you need to add on to the building, and there are no load-bearing walls to account for.

New steel panels will be added to create the expansion your agency needs.

The process typically doesn't take long depending on your project and it won’t result in higher costs, debris, or destruction.

And the panels removed from your original structure can be reused as another wall within your newly-formed annex, making it easy to reuse.

This is a great way to reduce waste and care for the environment.
