General Steel - Advantages of Steel Institutional Buildings

 

General Steel understands that constructing a new institutional building is a serious investment for any organization. With advances in technology over the years, many institutions have begun to realize the many benefits of constructing their new facilities using steel. Steel buildings have a number of advantages over similar structures that are constructed using conventional construction methods.

General Steel Institutional Building Benefits

  • Many institutional building systems use wood framing. When a fire reaches inside the walls of a wood-framed building, it may be difficult to extinguish. Since steel does not burn, it will not fuel a fire like wood. This means that your valuable documents or equipment may be safer in a steel building.
  • Many types of institutional buildings begin to deteriorate over time. Since steel is not effected by water, mold, mildew, termites and other wood-destroying insects, a General Steel institutional building will last longer and require less maintenance than many other types of institutional buildings.
  • General Steel institutional buildings are resistant to damages that are caused by high winds and adverse weather conditions. All of our steel buildings are designed meet and surpass your local wind and snow loads.
  • With our institutional buildings, you are not stuck with a specific look or design. The exterior of the building may be enhanced using a variety of finishing materials in order to match the look of existing buildings or meet local zoning requirements.
  • Often, an organization needs a new building in a hurry. General Steel Buildings are pre-drilled, pre-welded, and pre-punched at the plant. These pre-engineered structures are designed for fast and simple erection. Using our steel building system can help you get your project completed quickly.
  • Constructing a new institutional building can be very expensive. Our institutional steel building system has proven to save up to 50% compared to similar buildings designed using conventional construction methods.
