Why pre-engineered steel rather than conventional steel?
A. Steel is bought and sold based on pounds. A pre-engineered system analyzes every piece of steel to eliminate every ounce not required in the structure. Therefore the owner is not paying for something he or she will never use. Because of this design process, a pre-engineered structure can span further than a conventional structure with fewer interior support columns. This is referred to as “Clear Spanning” and is very important. If you have fewer interior support columns, the owner can better utilize the open floor space. Additionally, a pre-engineered structure can adapt to just about any exterior design or type of materials at a lower cost.
