Why Build with Metal: The Benefits of Metal Building Systems
At Nucor Building Systems, every project is custom-designed to meet a customer’s unique needs. With virtually endless design possibilities, it is easy to see why metal building systems have become such a popular and cost efficient building solution among architects and building owners.
Custom Metal Building Systems vs. Conventional Construction
You can choose from a number of construction methods for your building project, so why build with steel? Dollar for dollar and pound for pound, steel is the strongest and most cost-efficient construction material available. Additionally, our metal building solutions utilize Nucor steel, which is 100% recyclable and made up of over 70% post-recycled content. This makes it one of the most environmentally friendly options available on the market, too.
Our custom steel buildings offer clear advantages compared to conventional structures:
Cost Effectiveness
On average, our custom building systems cost less than conventional construction — often up to 30% less. This is due to our efficient design process, which utilizes Tekla BIM. In addition, our products and building systems are fabricated on-site in our ISA-accredited facilities, so you can be confident in their quality and code compliance.
Increased Longevity, Minimal Maintenance
Metal buildings are extremely durable, with a longer lifespan than wood structures. Steel is also resistant to corrosion, mold and termites.
Reduced Freight
With four full-service plants strategically located throughout the United States, we offer building solutions to customers nationwide.
Fast & Efficient
Faster Construction Time
Our steel building systems are designed by professional engineers using the industry’s most advanced technology. This simplifies construction and significantly reduces erection time. This means lower “in place costs” as well as quicker occupancy.
Easy to Erect
Our buildings are engineered to go up fast, easing your construction budget concerns.
Reduced Design Time
Our optimized processes greatly reduce the time to design, produce, and fabricate your metal building.
Flexible & Versatile
Wide-Range of Applications
Our steel buildings meet a wide-range of applications from industrial and commercial, to the agricultural, community, and retail industries.
Architectural Flexibility
There are numerous design options, exterior siding, roofing, and trim colors available to beautifully finish your Nucor building. Brick, stucco or wainscoting may also be used… The sky is the limit!
Ease of Expansion
When more space is needed, metal walls and framework are simple to remove for easy and seamless additions to existing metal buildings.
Environmentally Friendly
Our steel building systems contain over 70% recycled steel and is 100% recyclable.
Energy-Efficient
Our buildings are adaptable to a number of energy efficient insulation systems. This includes our cool-coated insulated metal panels, which can reduce energy costs. A low profile roofline can also eliminate unnecessary head room to heat and cool.
LEED
Our building systems offer an opportunity to capitalize on earning LEED points right from the start.
