1. How do I know which building style is right for my needs?

All Future Steel Building styles lend themselves to a wide variety of uses. A few factors to consider before choosing a specific style:
Preference for exterior appearance
Interior space requirements
Overhead clearances
Existing architecture

2. Can I really put this building up by myself?

Absolutely! Most Future Steel Building owners assemble and raise their own buildings. A detailed construction manual is delivered with every building; and with some basic tools; like a rope, ladders and possibly some scaffolding, you'll be ready to go. Our engineering staff is always available by phone should you have any questions during the assembly process.

3. How long does it take to put up a building?

Our average building takes roughly 3-4 days - a great long weekend project. It will also depend on the size of your individual building.

4. How many people does it take to construct and erect the building?

Approximately 3-4 people. It will also depend on the size of your individual building.

5. What makes the steel in Future Steel Buildings special?

Every Future Steel Building is made from Galvalume Plus^TM Steel - the finest available in the world today. It is made of a steel sheet product with a highly corrosion-resistance steel, aluminum-zinc alloy hot dipped coating. A clear organic acrylic resin coating is then applied and thermally cured. All combined, it provides you with a building that is superior in strength, corrosion resistant and features an attractive appearance. Best of all, it is fire resistant, it is 10-14 degrees cooler in the summer than other buildings, it is seven times more rust resistant than galvanized steel, it is 3-6 times thicker than traditional steel buildings and it has a 30-year perforation warranty!

6. Why should I choose a Future Steel Building over a traditionally built structure?

Future Steel Buildings offer you great value for your dollar because their trussless design gives you 100% usable interior space. They're fast and easy to assemble and can be disassembled and moved as necessary.

7. I have a very unique use for my building and I'm not sure if your standard styles and sizes will suit my needs. Can you help?

Absolutely! Our engineering staff will work with you to design and build a customized building for your specific needs. Our standard sizes and styles are meant only as idea-starters. We can easily customize any building for any unique need.
