Framing, Materials & Certifications

Framing

Our commercial metal buildings are constructed with high-quality galvanized steel:

  • 14-gauge double-coated galvanized steel framing
  • Optional 12-gauge framing for enhanced structural strength
  • Heavier-gauge trusses are available for larger spans

All primary framing components are backed by a 10-year rust-through guarantee.

Roof & Wall Panels

29-Gauge Metal Panels
A durable, cost-effective solution commonly used for roofing and siding.

26-Gauge Metal Panels
Thicker steel provides greater strength and impact resistance. Ideal for commercial and industrial applications where added durability is required.

Weather Ratings

Every commercial building is engineered to meet local and regional building code requirements. Our structures can be designed to withstand:

  • Snow loads up to 35 PSF
  • Wind speeds up to 140 MPH

We ensure full compliance with local codes and incorporate reinforcements when necessary for commercial-grade performance.

Insulation & Energy Efficiency Options

Commercial buildings often require temperature control and energy efficiency. Available options include:

  • R-7 fiberglass vinyl-backed insulation
  • Double Bubble moisture-control systems
  • Spray foam insulation
  • Coordination with local contractors for higher R-value insulation packages

Proper insulation improves employee comfort, protects inventory, and reduces long-term energy costs.

  • Expanded spans available with heavier-gauge framing
  • Flexible lengths to accommodate storage, production lines, or fleet vehicles

Clear-span construction maximizes usable interior space for equipment, shelving, and operational flow.

Building Permits & Engineering

Commercial construction requires strict code compliance. While we do not work directly with local inspection offices, we offer engineer-stamped blueprints for an additional cost to simplify the permitting process. Permit requirements, timelines, and fees vary based on location and project scope.
