Estimate Size of Clear Span Metal Building

Size of the prefab steel structure is critical in case it is for commercial purposes. Often, structures more than 40′ in length and 40′ in width fall into the commercial building range. If you plan the facility for commercial purposes, its size solely depends on its operational requirements and future scope of business growth.

By assessing the size of machinery, the number of employees, ergonomic space, and other requirements, you can select the appropriate size of the structure. For the design consideration, you can assess the facility’s functionality to choose between an enclosed structure and an open shed building. For the existing operations, you can estimate the design and size of the facility.

If you are starting a new business, you can estimate the measurement of the facility by analyzing functional and operational plans. Considering the future scope of the facility, you can plan the foundation and nearby land accordingly.

Custom Possibilities with Prefab Metal Buildings

For the prefab steel structure there is an endless opportunity for customization in prefab steel structures. There is a significant customization requirement for a commercial facility compared to residential and agricultural buildings. Besides extensive design and size, commercial facilities’ functionality is a crucial requirement.

No matter how large the facility is, it will only be profitable for you if it is time and cost-efficient. To attain proper functionality and reduce the complexities of various processes, you can customize the size and design of your commercial metal building.

Based on your functional and operational requirements, you can prepare a list of custom changes in the structure to gain higher productivity. Here are some common custom changes you can make in your commercial steel facility to attain higher functionality and comfort.

First customization you can make into a prefab steel structure is its roof design. According to the local weather conditions, you can select a roof design from the regular roof, boxed eave, or vertical roof type. All commercial facilities come with vertical roof types, but you can alter the roof design based on the extensiveness of the facility.

Regarding material, you have two options: 14-gauge and 12-gauge metal sheets. For the commercial structure, it is efficient to consider 12 gauge metal panels for better protection against weather conditions. Besides the design and size of the facility, you can also customize the accessibility of the structure by deciding on entrances and exits.

Apart from accessibility to the structure, there is also a possibility in steel structure to customize the insulation type in the facility to ensure proper comfort level for workers. For better comfort, it is essential to consider higher R-value insulation for the facility to gain effective isolation from external weather conditions.

The customization possibility for steel structures is more comprehensive than we have explained above. With the flexibility, sturdiness, and durability of steel, you are free to make various customization in the commercial metal building you are planning.
