It has excellent load behavior with relatively low weight.
It is easier to transport and install than concrete/blocks construction system
Steel is a long-lasting material and can be used in almost any type of climate.
You can read more in this blog post.
When properly constructed and maintained, steel frame buildings can last between 50 and 100 years.
Metal structures are easier and faster to build than concrete structures, while concrete structures are usually heavier and more robust, influencing the architecture of the building.
Concrete construction involves building in conjunction with other materials (reinforcing steel, etc.) to improve properties that concrete alone does not have. Steel, on the other hand, does not need another material to have the same or better properties.
Steel is 98% to 100% recyclable. Moreover, it can be recycled and reused over and over again, showing its sustainability and efficiency.
The main structure (columns and beams) is mainly made of steel. This is covered with insulated wall and roof panels or metal sheets with insulation in some cases.
Steel is strong and durable, it can take almost any shape and lightweight structures are obtained. Its high fire resistance, speed of erection and the reduction of resources and equipment on site make it a better material for factory construction than concrete or wood.
Some important factors are floor plan layout, internal clear height requirements, necessary doors and windows, and building use, among others.
Your metal frame building will arrive fully fabricated and with all the necessary connections for installation. If you are working with an experienced installer, it will be an easy task. If you need advice, we are always available to answer your questions and guide you through the process. On-site training service for installers is also available.
With proper planning and structural retrofits, metal buildings are easily expandable. Additional steel structural elements can be added alongside existing ones to create low-cost expansions.
The span of a steel beam depends on two main factors: the size of the beam and the value of the load it must support. Larger beams can carry larger loads and have larger spans. However, this has architectural and economic implications that are important to consider. A larger beam requires a larger column.
When it comes to outdoor metal structures, the steel must be protected from corrosion with paint according to its needs. A metal frame building near the coast may require more and better quality paint coating than one located in a non-coastal city.
You can construct any building with a metal structure. Due to its good performance under design loads, you can achieve large spans useful for factories, schools, gymnasiums, supermarkets, sports facilities, and hospitals, or you can design smaller spaces to suit offices, and small warehouses, among other.
Yes, with the right quality materials and the right advice, you can build a cold room that fits your needs using metal framing. You can find more information here.
In general, when constructing a steel structure building, the costs related to the primary structure, secondary structure, and cladding materials represent 30% of the total cost of the project. If we provide you with a quotation, we can give you an approximate idea of how much the whole project could be valued based on our experience and our offer for the steel structure and materials.
The combination of a metal structure designed for hurricane-risk areas and the benefits of using insulated wall and roof panels gives the building better properties and equal or better resistance to hurricanes. You can learn more about this topic in this article on metal frame buildings and natural disasters.
The steel of your metal building can be designed to perform well in the face of a temperature rise due to fire. This means that, although no material can resist 100% to the power of fire, it is proven that it can give you enough time for a safe evacuation in the event of a potential fire. You can learn more about this topic in this blog post about the fire resistance of prefabricated buildings.
Yes, the structural design considers the seismic loads recommended by the local codes, that is to say that we design so that the building is stable in the place where you want to build it and therefore, if it is a seismic zone, you can be sure that your building will be safe.
Yes, a brick wall is as vulnerable to break-in as a sheet metal or insulated panels wall.
No, we provide this service as long as we are in charge of the manufacturing of the structure as well.
All the connections of our metallic structures are bolted and no welding is required in the field, which considerably reduces installation time and therefore, reduces labor.
Yes, as an additional service, we can designate a team to perform the installation of your building or a supervising installation engineer to guide your team in the field. This will depend on the country where the structure and materials are being shipped.
The completion time depends on several factors, among which may be the experience of the installation team, the performance of the contractor in charge, government restrictions on working hours, and weather, among many others. However, from the moment we receive your order, our logistics team will inform you of the specific timeframe for the fabrication of the structure for your project.
In general and based on our experience, the execution time can be reduced from 15% to 60%.
Since each building is unique, we quote each project based on its technical and location requirements and the needs of each client. You can contact us now to discuss your project.
In addition to designing and supplying you with the steel structure and its components, if requested, we can accompany the installation process by sending an expert supervisor to advise you and help you make other decisions about the building, among many other areas in which we can guide you from the conceptualization to the execution of your construction project.

As part of our quotations, you will receive 3D visuals (renderings) that will give you a much clearer idea of what we are including. Learn about our BIM services in this section.

Insulated panels provide thermal and acoustic insulation as well as high fire resistance. Single steel sheets lack these benefits
It is a polyurethane filler consisting of a porous plastic material formed by condensation of glycol and isocyanate. This creates a closed cell structure that provides thermal stability, high compressive strength and excellent insulating properties.
Core or filling of insulated panels. It is similar in appearance to PUR and its proper name is Polyisocyanurate (polyol + isocyanate), which means that it has a tighter structure, greater thermal stability, better insulating properties, very high fire resistance and practically no flame propagation.
It is feasible to use sandwich panels for internal divisions. It must be taken into account that it will be necessary to solve the issue of hydraulic and electrical installations, since the panel should not be perforated because it loses its acoustic and thermal insulation properties.
They are usually used for:
We supply from 1-3/16 in. (30 mm.) to 8 in. (200 mm)
When a panel has more crowns it improves the structural strength of the panel, but it is also an aesthetic component.
Both. Insulated panels are shipped to be cut on site and shop drawings are included with the necessary information to cut them. Depending on the size and characteristics of the project, panels can be shipped already cut.
Yes, the wall panels are compatible with windows, doors, gates, roll-up doors, and most types of openings.
When drawings are provided, we include flashings and detailing for correct installation.
If an insulated panel is perforated, its thermal properties can be considerably reduced, so if hydraulic or electrical installations are required, they should be made on the panel and not inside of it.
A common alternative is to use rock board adjacent to make those installations
The standard coating is polyester (25 um). PVDF (25 um & 35 um), HDX Granite / SDP 50, and PVC/PET (food industry) are available also.
Our insulated panels are suitable for all types of weather, but much will depend on the design of the structure on which it is mounted, the quality of the structure itself, and the installation process. If we design and supply the structure, this is guaranteed.

Yes, the panels will be shipped to you with the necessary flashings for installation.
