Engineering design for structural framing has an immense impact on how you build and achieve the unobstructed spaces you need. Summit Steel Buildings’ range of framing and system specifications allow your facility to have the large, open spaces (clear spans and bay spans measuring over 300 and 40 feet respectively) that other traditional building materials are not able to support at such a reasonable price.

How your new building looks from the outside is not simply a matter of architectural design or aesthetic appeal. Your investment needs to have curb appeal to impress visitors because a building’s exterior plays an important role in determining how much open space is available on the inside. Whether for recreation (playing surfaces for sports) or commercial purposes (large open office space or uninterrupted space for warehousing), you can’t allow pillars or posts to get in the way of sightlines or traffic flow.

Engineering and materials have an immense impact on how you build and achieve the unobstructed spaces you need. It’s a key reason why Summit Steel Buildings chooses steel and its high strength-to-weight ratio. Framing and system specifications when building with steel allow your facility to have the large, open spaces (clear spans and bay spans measuring over 300 and 40 feet respectively) that other traditional building materials are not able to support at such a reasonable price. Add in the fact that using pre-engineered metal building framing is 30% less expensive and takes one third as long to complete, the choice to build with steel is clear.
