So what exactly is a commercial capital improvement project? These are non-recurring major construction or repair projects involving a business or other commercial property.
Did you know that steel building construction is significantly less costly than traditional construction methods and materials? This has to do in part with the prefabricated components used in steel construction, which offer efficiencies in material costs.
Did you know that different types of soil have different load bearing capacities? Crystalline bedrock can handle around 12,000 pounds per square foot, while sand or clay only a couple thousand. We offer a variety of concrete foundation solutions to accommodate any soil type.
Did you know that upgrades like low-VOC paints, soothing color schemes, and ergonomic furniture can contribute to employee morale and reduce stress? This makes a renovation worth it, as employees who are happier and more relaxed will show up to work more often and be more productive when they are there.
Although everything from homes to commercial office spaces can be constructed from steel, you don’t always have to create an elaborate structure. Even if you only need a simple temporary structure on your property, we’re always available to help.
Did you know that with modular commercial building construction, at least 80 percent of the construction is completed offsite? Since most of the process involves factory manufacturing, the end product is more durable and of superior quality.
Most steel buildings feature corrugated steel roofs. Why? They’re light, strong and resistant to wind, hail, lightning and fire. They shed snow more readily but also withstand the heavy loads created by snow and ice accumulation.
It can be easy to think that hospital construction is only needed once the ground is ready to be broken, but hospital construction experts are familiar with all aspects of construction, and can help you figure out the best way to design a hospital as well.
One of the most important qualities of any contracting firm is flexibility. We realize that improvements and other changes will probably be made during the course of the project, and we will make the adjustments that are requested.
In 1904, hospital building expert Bertrand Taylor declared, “There is probably no one detail of hospital construction that has created so much discussion … as that of the material for floors. The common and time-honored floor material in America is wood.”
If you’re building a server room in your office, remember that the temperature needs to be regulated. Storing servers or computers in a hot room can end in disaster, so be sure to consider air flow when designing your room.
Which 5 states do you think have the most hospitals? If you guessed Texas, California, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, you would be right! Texas is top with over 400 hospitals, California with over 300, Florida with over 200, and Pennsylvania and Illinois with just under 200 each.
While you may have enjoyed being part of the process when you had your home remodeled, a commercial remodel can be more involved. Whether you want to be kept in the loop at every stage of renovation or you just want someone to handle all the details, we’ve got you covered.
Residential garages and carports are often made of pre-engineered steel. Kits for both structures are sold inexpensively, and homeowners can often build them on their own by following the instructions. If you’re not handy, a contractor or handyman can build the kit for you.
We realize how difficult it can be to find the right time to renovate a nursing home, since residents are always present. In some cases, we may be able to put our heads together to devise a construction schedule that will provide the least inconvenience to residents.
Steel buildings are carefully engineered to make every stage of construction quick, predictable and effective. And once the structure is in place, our framing strategy means the interior is ready to finish with drywall, paneling or any material you choose.
To save more time on a project, if you hire a design/build contractor, they can coordinate risk management. By doing this, they can clearly define all the costs, the schedule and quality expected. Less changes means less cost and faster productivity.
Steel was still an experimental material when Crystal Palace was constructed in 1851. Made primarily of iron and glass, the Palace required 1000 structural columns to support 2224 girders, 4000 tons of iron, 202 miles of sash bar and 30 miles of iron gutter.
Before you begin construction on your new building, it’s very important to consider the atmosphere you’d like to create. Some floorplans foster more teamwork than others.
It is definitely possible to assemble a steel building by yourself. Kit sheds and small barns are fairly easy if you have the right tools and basic knowledge. The larger the building, the more complex it will become.
