Introduction To Mueller Steel BuildingsFor many years the preferred material for construction was wood. Wood was augmented by unreinforced masonry construction. Neither of these proved satisfactory and could not withstand the forces of natural disasters such as fire or earthquake. Termites and other wood eating or burrowing insects have destroyed many of the last century’s wood structures. Warehouses, barns, and factories were considered suitable for metal construction but other more conventional buildings were not. With the advent of more strict zoning and building codes designers and architects began to consider Prefabricated Steel Buildings as a viable alternative to wood. Mueller Steel Buildings saw the need and began to fill it. Today we find Mueller Steel Buildings in everything from carports to large custom prefab buildings. The steel, the insulation, the utilities, and the painting can all be done in the shop under controlled conditions. When ready they can then be delivered to the work site for assembly. Construction costs are as much as 50% less than that experienced in conventional construction. Because of steel’s resistance to rain, wind, and fire, the maintenance and insurance costs are lowered. When steel construction is employed the buildings can be constructed in modules. This provides for more flexibility for growth and expansion as site needs increase. The ease of construction Mueller Steel Buildings is due to the fact that steel can be cut to size in the factory. Each length can be sized by a computer, then cut and drilled to expedite assembly. Where ever there are architectural plans for Prefabricated Steel Buildings a computer assembly can be programmed to match them. When buildings such as schools, churches, or even warehouses are constructed they are often cut several at a time. Then it is a simple matter to load the material for the buildings on one or more trucks and transport them to the construction site for assembly. After you have purchased a Mueller Steel Buildings prefabricated kit, it will arrive on your site via a truck. The delivery will be made painless with the use of an onsite forklift for unloading. Your building components will be painted and ready for assembly. Depending on the paint you chose, it will have a 6 6o 30 year warranty. The part of the process that will make our break your steel building project is the assembly. Insure that whoever you hire to put it together is a qualified erector. Check references, check licenses, and check to be sure what they are telling you is current. |
