What type of foundation is needed for a pre-engineered steel building?
A steel building will last a long, long time. However, it relies on a solid foundation to carry the loads from wind and snow. In some cases a foundation engineer will need to provide you with certified foundation plans for your project. Our Buildings does not provide these certified foundation plans because the type and quality of soil along with water table considerations need to be addressed by each builder locally to ensure a proper foundation. For rural, non-certified applications there are general guidelines for a solid foundation that can be applied to most building situations.
