Steel buildings seem to be cropping up in the unlikeliest places. Thanks to the ease of manufacturing the components for custom-designed steel buildings and the ease of putting them up, buildings made of metal are rapidly becoming the number one choice of property owners and developers for nearly any use. From mini-storage units to airplane hangars, metal buildings offer a number of benefits that consumers find it hard to overlook. Whether they’re building garages, horse barns, workshops or in-law apartments, more and more people are choosing pre-engineered steel buildings over other traditional construction choices.
Economy
The number one reason most people choose a steel building over other types of construction is money. From start to finish, metal buildings are more economical than nearly any other option for the same size unit. Steel – even high quality steel – is a more affordable building choice than wood or concrete. You’ll often find excellent bargains offered by distributors and manufacturers who market their steel DIY kits and buildings online. And since they’re so much easier to construct, many people save even more money by doing the construction themselves and saving the cost of a contractor.
Time
Because they’re so much easier to erect than traditional wood buildings, steel buildings go up in a matter of days – even over a weekend for smaller structures. It can take a few weeks or more for you to receive the components for your building, but once they arrive on site, they go up quickly and are ready for use much sooner than comparable size wooden structures. If you’re using a contractor to do the construction, that saves you money because you’re paying for less time. Even if you’re doing the building yourself, your building is ready for use sooner.
Environment
Steel is a greener choice than wood. Most buildings are made of recycled steel, which means that your new steel building won’t be using up new natural resources. Wood, on the other hand, depletes the earth’s natural resources and reduces the planet’s ability to scrub the air clean through plant respiration.
Pride
As noted, many homeowners choose DIY steel building kits and do the work of assembling and erecting their buildings themselves. Not only does it save money, it gives them bragging rights when they show off their new garages, workshops and other structures. It’s nice to be able to say, “I built it myself.”
Durability
Because steel buildings are engineered to meet all the building codes for the area where they’ll be built, they’re very durable and sturdy. Properly constructed steel buildings can withstand hurricane force winds and heavy snows, and are often guaranteed to stand for 20 or more years.

A steel building is a metal structure fabricated with steel for the internal support and for exterior cladding, as opposed to steel framed buildings which generally use other materials for floors, walls, and external envelope. Steel buildings are used for a variety of purposes including storage, work spaces and living accommodation. They have evolved into specific types depending on how they are used.
