Clear Span Style
This style is typically a rigid metal framed structure made up of 3 plate frames (without interior columns) that uses continuous runs of cold-formed shapes to support the exterior cladding or sheathing systems.
Multiple Span (Posted) Style
This style is similar to clear span style but with interior supports located at suitable locations to reduce the structure cost.
Multiple Level Style
This style is a metal structural used in a variety of combinations to form a building with 2 or more floor systems.
Wood/Steel Pre-engineered or Fabric Styles
This combination of materials is tailored to provide the most economical enclosures, using standardized (pre-engineered) framing heights, and spans.
Roofing Systems, Siding Systems, Over Roofing, & Re-roofing Solutions
Metal covering systems and components which can be adapted to most any application (new or retro-fit).
Metal Building Systems
Typically, these systems include wall assemblies, roof assemblies, columns, and beams.
Thermal Improvements & Upgraded Thermal Systems
These energy-efficient improvements and systems help with keeping your buildings cool or warm by meeting insulation or air infiltration requirements.
Framing Systems
These systems are structures of a building holding up the walls, floors, and roofs. They use structural elements and dimensional lumber to support the wall and sheathing materials to cover them.
Conventional Designs
This familiar method of construction is traditional and more labour intensive. Structures consist of supporting beams and concrete slabs.
Hybrid Designs
Custom, cost-efficient infrastructures that can make any homes look unique while combining conventional methods.
Wall Systems
These are modular systems of shelves, often including cabinets or other storage spaces, either mounted on a wall or arranged in freestanding units for holding various items.
Exterior Treatments & Enhancements
Treatments can include windows, walls, sidings, and other exterior fixtures you may have on your building.
