Our Building Types

Pre-engineered metal buildings (known as PEMBs and also referred to as Steel Buildings) are building systems with components pre-fabricated at the factory that are designed to be assembled quickly and efficiently at the construction site. These buildings consist of steel components engineered to fit together precisely as a building system since each component is pre-cut and pre-drilled at the factory to exact specifications, ensuring a streamlined construction process.Western Steel offers a full range of building solutions for low to mid-rise, new construction projects. Our solutions include pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMBs), conventional or structural steel systems, and hybrid buildings. Our extensive structural engineering expertise on various commercial and industrial projects allows us to create structural solutions efficiently, economically, and flexibly. We use the latest design techniques and BIM software to engineer structures with efficiency and economy while maintaining the architectural direction. The design process begins with thoroughly understanding the client’s needs and goals. We then value-engineer each project based on functional requirements, budget constraints, and aesthetic preferences. Once we discover these factors, we develop a conceptual design to meet our client’s objectives.

Pre-engineered steel buildings offer exceptional customization options to meet specific design requirements precisely. These buildings can be tailored in size, shape, layout, and aesthetic preferences. Choices abound for doors, windows, insulation, roofing, and exterior finishes, including incorporating exterior insulated metal panels.

Insulated metal panels provide excellent thermal insulation properties, regulating the building’s temperature and enhancing energy efficiency. Specifically designed for installation on the exterior of steel buildings, these panels ensure a comfortable interior environment with enhanced insulation capabilities.

The roof style of pre-engineered steel buildings is also customizable, with options like clerestory, monitor, and gambrel roof lines, allowing for design versatility and architectural variety as seen in these completed projects.

Interior mezzanines are commonly integrated into pre-engineered steel buildings, creating additional usable space. These mezzanines can be customized for diverse purposes such as storage, offices, or workspaces, offering flexibility per specific requirements.

Thanks to their extensive customization options, pre-engineered steel buildings offer a versatile and adaptable solution, including exterior insulated metal panels, interior mezzanines, and customizable roof styles.

Pre-engineered steel buildings offer several benefits, such as cost-effectiveness, durability, and versatility. They are typically less expensive than traditional construction methods, require less maintenance, and can be customized to suit various applications, including warehouses, factories, offices, etc.

The construction time for a pre-engineered steel building depends on various factors, including the size and complexity of the structure. However, one of the key advantages of these buildings is their faster construction time compared to conventional buildings. Generally, smaller steel buildings can be erected in weeks, while larger projects may take a few months.

Yes, pre-engineered steel buildings can be designed to be energy-efficient. They offer excellent insulation options to minimize heat transfer, reducing heating and cooling costs. Additionally, natural lighting, ventilation systems, and energy-efficient fixtures can be incorporated into the building’s design to enhance energy efficiency further.

Yes, pre-engineered steel buildings are suitable for a wide range of climates. Steel is a durable material that can withstand various weather conditions, including high winds, heavy snow loads, and seismic activity. With proper insulation and ventilation systems, these buildings can provide a comfortable interior environment in both hot and cold climates.
