Let’s face it. Renting a storage unit can be a burden. Instead, why not consider building your own? Let’s take a look at some of the reasons to build your own sturdy storage space, particularly one made of steel, and fabricated by Allied Steel Buildings.

Peace of mind is essential with any construction project. If you expect a quality outcome for yours, you can’t skimp on cost when it comes to hiring builders. Aside from a too-good-to-be-true price, however, here are some warning signs that you may need to switch to a top-tier construction firm. After purchasing a top-of-the-line steel building from a world-renowned firm like Allied Steel Buildings, be sure to keep these warning signs in mind when looking for a reputable building firm.  No Contract You should always be offered a contract no matter the estimated quote on the project. Whether a steel garage or a metal warehouse, having a contract is an important safeguard for both you and the company. A construction company that is unwilling to put forward a contract, or one that puts forward a vague contract, should be scrutinized and questioned about its motives and expertise. Poor Skills This is every client’s nightmare – paying good money for a bad job. Whether it’s sloppy constr...

Commercial Prefab Buildings What are prefabricated buildings? Available prefabricated steel building sizes Commercial steel building applications The advantages of prefabricated steel buildings How much do prefabricated steel buildings cost? Steel building components Allied’s Prefabricated Commercial Steel Buildings What Are Prefabricated Buildings? The term “Prefabricated buildings” refers to one of the biggest categories of off-site manufactured buildings. To better understand prefabricated buildings, we must understand the term prefabrication. Prefabrication refers to a building, or piece of furniture, that is manufactured in sections to enable quick and easy assembly on site. The sections are manufactured in a factory setting or factory-like setting. The pre-built elements are then delivered to the construction site and assembled together. If you’ve done any preliminary research about steel building construction, you have likely seen the term “prefab” thrown around. In short, “pref...

Our experts have designed many structures that can withstand heavy snow, thick ice, cold temperatures and major blizzards. When we optimize the designs, we can examine the roofs, the walls, the gables, the quality of the materials and each main ridgeline. Generally, a sloped roof could significantly reduce the effects of heavy snow. When we construct a steel garage, we can substantially increase a structure’s durability by adding a gable, and the gable could mitigate the effects of wind, improve the durability of the trusses, prevent leaks and minimize the effects of snowfall.

Over the years, urbanization has forced families and individuals to thrive in the often-barren urban environment, with concrete walls and glass as homes and offices. Thanks to the emergence of new design solutions, such as the biophilic design that aims to promote well-being, health, and emotional comfort. The concept of biophilia, which means “bringing outdoor nature inside,” is one of the latest trends that is gradually revolutionizing the fields of architecture, interior design, and real estate. Unlike “green buildings” that aims to reduce the negative environmental impact of materials used and pollutants, biophilic design acts as a bridge between its inhabitants and nature. Scientific research proves that adding natural elements and models in the human-environment improves general well-being (health) and employee productivity. Read along and discover the meaning, types, and unlimited benefits of biophilic structures. What Is Biophilia? The term biophilia, derived from the Greek ter...

The construction industry is one of the oldest industries in human society. People have been building things for millennia. But the construction sector has a reputation for being a little bit stubborn when it comes to adopting new technologies, albeit being a stable industry over the long arc of history.

Steel Building Warehouse. Although the term ‘flex warehouse’ has only recently started to create a buzz, the logistics industry has been familiar with it for a very long time. Basically, it went by different names; “Public Space,” “Public Warehousing” or “Multi-Client Space”—all of which refer to what’s known today as a ‘flex warehouse space.’ Keep an eye out for the growing demand for multistory warehouses due to the increasing demand for industrial land intensification. In this article we will discuss: Flex Warehouse Space Defined The Benefits Of A Flex Warehouse Space Cost Factors Of Flex Warehouse Construction Types Of Construction Costs Design Goals To Consider Cost-Effective Design & Material Solutions Flex Warehouse Space Defined A perfect way to describe a flex warehouse space is that it’s a commercial real estate’s chameleon. It’s basically a single-story building which can be utilized as both; a warehouse space and an office. With flex warehouses, users can either opt for...

Who doesn’t like the smell of fresh wood, the feel of a natural material? At Allied Steel we fully appreciate the charm of wood and its place in our country’s building tradition. When it comes to the simple enjoyment of a building then going for what you like most – wood, brick, metal, concrete – can be your prime motivator. But when building something that will (a) cost you to construct, (b) cost you to maintain and (c) needs to serve you for an extended period of time – decades perhaps – then we need to be a little more practical – hard-headed perhaps – about our choices. And when it comes to barns and similar agricultural buildings, steel buildings are increasingly the number one choice. And it’s not because there’s something inherently wrong with wood. It’s more because there are some irresistible advantages with steel. Here’s Where Steel Barns Out-Perform Wooden Ones Every Time: Weather Resistance: Galvanized steel building barns shrug off the rain and the snow, the wind and the h...

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Metal Roofing Systems Metal roofs are a roofing technique that uses durable and impermeable tiles and metals to cover the top of the house. The most commonly used materials are copper, zinc and steel alloys. Over the years, metal roofs have gained popularity as they are long-lasting compared to other roofing materials; their resale value is therefore too high. When setting up roofs, most homeowners always put in mind the dangers of lightning strikes. A common perception among many people is that metal roof attract lightning strikes, but the truth is metal roof make lightning strikes less hazardous. The impact of lightning hits mostly depends on the materials used in constructing the building and whether it has sound lightning protection systems. Types Of Metal Roofing Materials The term metal roof incorporates a wide range of materials, not just steel roof as most of you think. The type of materials used in roofing will, to a large extent, depend on your...

Everything About Multistory Warehouses, Its Benefits And The Future Of Industrial Real Estate Warehouses are a ubiquitous feature of the modern capitalist economies that currently dominate the world. Some warehouses are necessary for all types of goods to get to the places that need them the most. However, most people do not think about them all that often. Without the nearby warehouses, they would not get most of the goods they need daily. So how exactly has the nature of warehousing changed over the years? While it has become a different industry than it was 100 years ago, the changes that are up ahead will be even more significant. Many factors are putting an increased amount of pressure on global supply chains and the warehouses that fuel them. As populations increase and real estate costs spike, it is becoming economically unfeasible to continue developing new warehouses using the same methods used in the past. Increasingly warehouse developers are turning towards vertical develop...
