Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

- a must before a Purchase!

Steel building construction is comparatively new in comparison to traditional styled buildings as such many of us don’t have an absolute clear idea about it. In such a situation what should you do? Cost of steel buildings is comparative less and it is highly affordable. But having no clear idea puts you in a back foot. However there is nothing to be worried about. Just keep the following question in mind and don’t forget to ask them to your steel building suppliers.

Ask the construction company to provide some current 3 – 4 references. The more recent the references the better it is. And once you are provided with the references, you need to contact them and take their feedback and experience on the whole affair.

Try to visit the recently constructed building site to get a firsthand experience on the matter.

Do go through the financial listing of the company in the net. Nowadays it is easy to get such information’s on the internet. In case it is a new building try to gather information as to whether the director/company owner has a record of failed business.

While checking out the buildings, don’t forget to check the quality of construction. Do all the buildings look same? Are the components used are similar o each other? If the construction is done in a cold rolled frame, are the components bolted together or is it screwed?

Keep a note of the fact as to whether the company provides you the estimated cost on their own or did you need to ask for them.

Make sure that when you are insisting on an industrial specialised building, the quotation mentioned states it.

Make sure that the building is fully braced. Has the steel building supplier asked for the construction location?

This is a very important and vital question as the building design requirement will vary from a coast location to inland location or whether it is in town or a country location.

Be specific about your requirements as to whether you are looking for security, quality etc. don’t forget to do research on doors, bracing and other components as well.

Do compare two different buildings to find out who is offering the better fillers, door head flashing, and industrial roller doors and so on.

And last not the least have a clear idea as to how much time is required to complete the construction.
