Buildings that Stand Strong through Thick and Thin

These days, our lives are becoming driven by pace. We are getting used to speed and almost everything we do today is done fast. We travel in transports that move fast, we email instead of sending letters, we eat fast food instead of a proper nutritious homemade meal, so on and so forth. Technology has advanced to such an extent that these days we do not have the time to wait for months for the construction of a building.

The world of business and commerce cannot afford to spend time or money on expensive structures. Therefore, they resort to low maintenance buildings. If a company constructs regular, cement and bricks building, they will need to spend money every few months trying to maintain it in perfect condition. However, a building made of bricks will give way to the forces of nature like, storms, earthquakes, torrential rainfall, etc. In such cases, the only type of buildings that would stand erect, undamaged are steel buildings.

Steel buildings have a huge advantage over traditional style buildings. Some of them being:

• They are cost effective
• They take less time to build
• They are eco-friendly
• They require less maintenance
• They are strong and sturdy
• They are durable

Steel buildings take only a few components to build. All that is required is:

• Sheets of steel
• Scrap steel
• Welding torches
• Laser cutters

A pre fabricated steel building takes very little time to put together or assemble because they are pre engineered and just needs to be welded together as per design. Few of these buildings are also up for sale. All you have to do is select the one that will suit you best. Pre fabricated steel buildings are made to order and do not require any modifications later.

Steel buildings are cost effective because only a few elements are required to build them and since the components are light weight, only a few labourers are required to construct the entire structure, so the cost of the raw materials plus labour charges for steel buildings is much lesser than that of regular, brick buildings.

A brick building takes a lot of time to build. First the skeleton has to be constructed, and then the bricks have to be laid on wet cement to build walls. Then the cement has to dry. Then the walls have to be plastered. The plaster has to dry and then the walls are coated with paint. All this takes almost a year to build whereas, steel buildings take a maximum of two months to put together.
