If it’s your first time purchasing a pre-engineered steel or metal building for your company or farm, you probably have a lot of questions. Here are some of the most pressing questions most first-time customers have:
- How much does a steel building cost?
- Is a steel building more affordable than a traditional timber building?
- Will a steel building save me money in the long term?
Even though many complex variables factor into the initial cost investment of a steel building. These variables can only be determined by requesting a free estimate from one of our prefabricated building experts, there are some basic pricing fundamentals to be aware of.
Prefabricated Steel Agricultural Buildings are Cost-Effective
As previously stated, there are many factors that determine the price of a prefabricated steel or metal agricultural building. Currently, the pricing structure is ever-changing, but as of May 2021 prices of lumber have skyrocketed as shown in a recent Wall Street Journal article. While steel has also been fluctuating in price more recently it is still the worlds more cost-effective than lumber making steel a new favorite building material.
Pre-engineered metal buildings are less expensive than wood. But there are other things to consider when estimating the total price of your building. These factors include labor, repairs over the lifetime of the building, wasted materials, and cost of insulating and routine care.
Steel Agricultural Buildings Cost Less in Labor and Waste
As the old saying goes, time is money. And our pre-engineered, turn-key metal buildings are cost-efficient because they are labor-efficient. Our easy, repeatable building designs allow our professional building team to “piece” together your metal agricultural building, which reduces our laborers’ time on-site. Not only do you save money on labor costs, but you also can occupy your building more quickly, which allows you to begin generating revenue as quickly as possible.
And because our metal and steel buildings are all prefabricated, they fit together without creating waste. Our team doesn’t have to spend time measuring and cutting wood, inevitably creating wasted tidbits of wood that cost you money.
Metal and Steel Pre-Fabricated Buildings Cost Less in Repairs and Upkeep
Unlike wooden barns, shelters, and other agricultural buildings, metal and steel buildings don’t rot. Our professionals even have a protective substance that protects against rust. Plus, steel and metal are far less likely to succumb to weather damage.
Our pre-engineered buildings are easy to maintain and have far less upkeep cost than traditional wood construction. We can insulate them to keep heating and cooling costs low, too. So not only do our prefabricated agricultural buildings cost less in supplies, labor, and time, they also save you money over the lifetime of the building.
To top it off, our prefabricated metal agricultural buildings can be as diverse and customizable as you need. Champion Buildings has a variety of colors, styles, and customization options available.
