Welcome to Web Steel Buildings - It's more than a building, it's a solution.

Why Build with Steel?

We've always believed steel was a solid investment — and for good reason.

Our business was based on the firm belief that steel is a superior building material. Today more than ever, builders, homeowners and architects are discovering the cost competitive, performance enhancing and environmental advantages of steel. It's stronger than wood. It won't buckle under pressure. And it can be engineered to withstand some pretty extreme conditions: manmade or natural. Take a look at some of the reasons a steel building may be a viable solution for you.

I wanted to tell you that working with you on this project was very enjoyable. You did everything you promised and supplied everything on time. I’m glad I chose a Web Steel Building!

Benefits at a glance

In addition to the many environmental and economical advantages of steel, it also:

Steel resists corrosion and decay better than any other material
Steel is more resistant to fires, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and other disasters
Steel frames will not warp or settle like wood frames:steel frames stay straight and true preventing air leaks and costly energy loss
Steel is %100 recyclable and all steel buildings are made with a minimum of 25% recycled steel.
Steel is cost competitive compared with conventional stick frame or concrete tilt-up.
Steel frames are light weight and extremely strong. Their strength to weight ratio is the highest of any material.
Steel meets or exceeds all seismic code design standards. Steel is elastic by physical nature and engineered to "flex" throughout a seismic event (vs. concrete tilt-up and CMU block wall buildings)
Steel is produced in strict accordance with national standards so there are no regional variances in quality
Steel framing allows for fast, firm construction timetables. Steel buildings take an average of 1/3 less time to erect than other types of construction.

No wood in the ground

Steel is stronger than wood. And unlike pole barns, Web Steel structures take advantage of this durable material with a steel main frame; you'll see the difference inside. You won't have to worry about twisting, splitting, warping or settling. And because we don't place any wood in the ground, neither termites nor dry rot are a concern. In addition, we can span greater distances between trusses to accommodate wider overhead doors in the sidewalls.

Contractor advantages

Web Steel buildings are quick to construct and ready to assemble upon arrival. Statistics state that steel buildings take one-third less time to erect than other types of construction, which allows architects and project managers to set a fast construction timetable — and stick to it. What's more, you can always count on straight walls, square corners, and less clean up at your job site.

Appearance and aesthetics

In outward appearance, many Web Steel buildings are indistinguishable from other kinds of buildings. Various exterior roofing, siding and trim colors are available, and treatments such as brick, stucco, wainscoting, cottage stone, T1-11, Hardy plank or board, cedar … you name it, finish a building beautifully. Be sure to let us know any special design considerations you have in mind when the time comes to plan your building. Meanwhile, visit our photo galleryto see how some of our customers have customized the look of their buildings.

Easy assembly

Web Steel buildings are precision designed for quick and simple bolt-together assembly. Each building includes complete, comprehensive structural plans stamped by our licensed engineers, along with foundation drawings and building calculations. Your building will be engineered specifically for your site and to the most recent IBC code. Whether you decide to construct your own building or hire a contractor, you'll have the structural plans you need to apply for your permit.

Lease-to-own

More than 80% of the companies in the U.S. today purchase assets through a lease-to-own program. Why? Business people realize the many benefits leasing offers as a means to acquire assets for their businesses. And a Web Steel Building will definitely be an asset for your business. Funding is available for 100% of your building project, including delivery and installation. Visit our leasing page for details.

Low Cost of Ownership

Steel buildings are virtually maintenance free due to their strength and stability. With minimal care your steel building will look as good as the day it was built years longer than conventional wood framed buildings that warp, settle or may be destroyed by pests.

Structural Steel Design Allows Flexibility

Steel allows you to enjoy larger open spaces without sacrificing structural safety. The strength of steel can accommodate larger open spaces without columns or beams needed by load-bearing walls. In addition, we can span greater distances between trusses to accommodate wider overhead doors in the sidewalls

Strong and long lasting

With its durability and strength, steel framing has one of the highest strength to weight ratios of any construction material. It won't crack, warp, twist, rot, split or settle like wood framing might. Aside from sheer strength, steel joints are fastened with screws that create a stronger connection than nails used in traditional wood framing. This results in connections that are more resistant to wind and other natural and manmade forces.

Environmentally sound

Steel can be recycled over and over again and still maintain its physical and chemical properties. All steel framing contains a 25% minimum of recycled steel. On a broader scale, 64% of ALL steel products on the market are recycled. That's more than any other material in the U.S. including glass, paper, plastic and aluminum combined! These recycling programs reduce the solid waste stream resulting in less landfill. Steel mills have drastically reduced emissions too, so you can feel even more secure that steel is an earth friendly choice.
