Leveraging the Expertise of Your Metal Building Manufacturer

While many think of manufacturing as the middle of the building process, the right manufacturer can play a critical role in the success of a project—from design through erection. By engaging an engineering-minded manufacturer early in the process, you can lock in a feasible design, satisfying project requirements and avoiding unnecessary costs and delays.

Avoiding project pitfalls

Whether starting a project as a concept or with an initial design in hand, early involvement gives your manufacturer the opportunity to:

By collaborating early in the process, you give your manufacturer time to adjust areas that may present engineering challenges before they can become a strain on budget and time. From there, you can work together to identify new design possibilities and ensure building dimensions and internal clearances are sufficient. As your expert on metal building materials, a manufacturer can provide suggestions on areas such as member deflections and recommend panel types based on wind load, uplift, and budget considerations. Giving your manufacturer an opportunity to offer ideas based on experience ultimately improves the outcome of your building.

Turning ideas into solid plans

As a manufacturer, we at Vulcan Steel Structures are used to solving customer problems. Without manufacturer involvement early on, some of the most impressive designs run into major issues. But when we work together from the start, we help customers avoid potential pitfalls and develop a design that meets project needs, helping the project stay on time and on budget. Our engineers turn great ideas into actionable plans. Working together from the start improves the entire process!

Solid engineering that gets design right

Although metal building systems are designed to simplify installation, the engineering behind these designs is quite complex. No matter the size of your project, the key to avoiding construction issues begins with solid engineering. At Vulcan Steel, we combine expert engineering with skillful fabrication to make sure we deliver even the most complex components.

Work with a valuable teammate

By working together, we can help your project avoid unforeseen issues in installation and make sure you get the building you deserve. We make sure timelines are met, and the owner receives a quality building, designed specifically to meet their needs.

With experience and foresight, a good manufacturer like Vulcan Steel can help you fine-tune your design for the real world. Our job does not end until your building is ready for use. By engaging our team early in the process, you can rest assured that our experts will keep a watchful eye on the details from start to finish. With over 40 years in the business, your project is in good hands with Vulcan Steel!
