If you’re planning on building a new home or a new office building from the ground up, you have some big choices and some big bills in the near future...
Building with steel is not only cheaper, but it will save money in the future, save time in the building process, and it’s better for the environment than many other materials. Here are some explanations as to why metal buildings are a smart way to go.
Save money now
Because of growth in technology, it is easier now to use steel in construction projects. Notably with advances in Computer Aided Design, access to pre-fabricated steel is available, bringing down costs significantly. This also brings down the construction time, as most work is done already in a warehouse elsewhere; bringing the time it takes to finish construction to two to three months. According to studies, using commercial metal buildings can save up to 60% as opposed to using different materials including wood.
Save money later
Once your new home or office is up and running, you can expect to pay insurance bills. If you use steel, those bills can be greatly reduced. Because steel is environmentally safe, and has a longer lifespan than other usable materials, insurance companies will charge less for their services. Some owners receive up to 40% off their insurance bill because of their metal buildings. Considering the money saved before, and add that to the money you will be saving later, that is a good chunk of change that can be put to use elsewhere.
Save the environment too
Unlike treated wood that can be used in the construction of your building, steel doesn’t release pollutants and other possible harmful chemicals. Another fact to remember is that all steel is recyclable, and all steel made in North America is made with steel that has already been recycled. Another reason is its approval by LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), who states that steel is more sustainable than other construction materials.
There are plenty of different styles and options to choose from while building your home or office with steel. Add that with the money you save, and the help you’re providing for the environment, and steel seems to be the smart choice.
