Whether you are looking to expand your current retail or commercial location or build a brand new facility, choosing to use metal for the construction of your building makes the best sense because it is cheaper than conventional construction methods, is safer, and it offers you a variety of choice in design. Metal building systems now dominate the one and two-story building markets because of their safety, cost-effectiveness, and overall satisfaction, as cited by architects, engineers and owners across the world. Metal buildings have become a top choice for many types of retail and commercial customers--ranging from the Fortune 500 to the military. Look below at reasons why building with metal may be best for you.
Years ago, building with metal meant little choice in the completed look of a building. That is no longer the case. With a metal retail building, you are not stuck with a specific look or design of someone else's choosing. Most metal companies comply with customer's design requests presenting you with endless options. For example, the exterior of the building may be enhanced using a variety of finishing materials, such as decorative brick, wood, stucco, glass, and aggregate panels, in order to match the look of existing buildings, meet local zoning requirements, as well as eye-catching to attract customers. With clear-span interior space and high ceilings, a metal building offers your tenants such a variety of configurations and layout options for the interior, as well. For example, your needs may include an office environment filled with cubicles, conference rooms, and mechanical equipment; or a restaurant filled with tables, comfortable seating and kitchen space. A metal building can be efficiently and easily modified to suit your tenets' changing needs—be it an increase in personnel or a shrinking storage capacity. Building expansion is simple and easier because metal buildings are designed with growth and your budget in mind. From the inside to the outside, your project manager can help you achieve the look you want in the most economical way possible.
Using metal in your construction can help you design an attractive retail building within your projected budget. Consider just a few reasons. To begin with, it will help prevent many of the problems and maintenance issues that are associated with low-quality buildings. Many types of retail buildings begin to deteriorate over time. Since metal is highly resistant to water, mold, mildew, termites and other wood-destroying insects, a metal retail building will last longer and require less maintenance than many other types of retail buildings which saves you money! Also, because sometimes a business needs a new building under a strict deadline, metal buildings offer the magnificent benefit of being pre-drilled, pre-welded, and pre-punched at the plant giving you a structure that is quickly and easily erected so your tenants can move in, open their business and promptly begin adding to your profits. Constructing a new retail building can be very expensive; but, using a retail metal building system has proven to save up to half the cost (depending on the supplier you choose) compared to similar buildings designed using conventional construction methods.
Metal buildings do not require any harmful chemicals such as resin, adhesives, wood treatments, or pesticides. Also, a retail/commercial building made entirely out of metal has added strength and durability to increase the structural integrity. As a result, metal retail buildings are resistant to major damages that are caused by high winds and adverse weather conditions. Metal buildings can also be easily designed to meet and surpass your local wind and snow loads. This gives you added protection for your personnel, company files and equipment thus reducing the risk of the interruption of business operations from unpredictable weather such as a severe thunderstorm. Many building systems use wood framing, making it vulnerable to fire and difficult to extinguish. Since metal does not burn as quickly as wood, the fire may spread slower, making the environment safer. When a fire occurs in a metal building, it is often possible to contain the fire to a single room. This means that your valuable documents and/or equipment will be better protected in a metal building.
A retail metal building makes the best sense because it will save you money, provide a stronger structure, and more choice for interior planning and exterior beauty. The finished product can easily accommodate a retail environment, office space, restaurant operations, warehouse facility, or any other sophisticated business organization. Take no chances with your real estate investment. Choose the design that can give you a lifetime of return. The response of satisfied customers all across the world attests to the magnificent benefits in a business having their retail or commercial building built with metal.
