Residential steel buildings are becoming more popular in the construction industry. Different parts of a residential building are manufactured in a factory. Steel is the raw material used to make the skeleton of the building. Advantages of residential steel buildings are low building cost, durability and less time consumption.
You can suggest the basic design of the home and select the type of roof, interior wall, and number of doors and windows. Any other individual enrichment of the building can also be suggested at the time of designing. After accepting the plans, different accessories such as beams, posts, girders, roof panels and nuts and bolts are produced at the factory. The foundation of residential steel buildings is made of concrete. The factory made parts are transported to the proposed site and bolted together to make an attractive steel house. Adequate insulation, ventilation, wiring, interior and exterior finishing and plumbing are also done for residential steel buildings. The exterior of these buildings can be made more attractive by brick, stucco or wood.
Drainage requirements and local zoning laws are to be satisfied for the legal approvement of each project. A rigid frame style is preferred for residential steel buildings. Steel framework with flat steel panels for roofs and walls is used in this style. Doors and windows can be placed in any wall and the size of the building may also be expanded if needed. Other optional accessories in residential steel buildings are gutters and downspouts to clear off water, double pane glass and insulated doors.
The cost of a typical residential steel building ranges from $16 to $20 per sq ft. Building materials, transportation, foundation and construction are included in this price. Exterior brick finishing or complex designing can be priced around $40 per sq ft. You can buy residential steel buildings from general contractors and brokers who are linked with different factories. Manufacturers also sell component parts directly to their customers. It is always desirable to buy genuine components from a renowned dealer for perfect construction and service. Warranty for almost thirty years is also given for residential steel buildings.
