It’s not often that a new product creates real change in an industry, but Cold Formed Buildings have done just that! Progressive contractors and building owners in the United States are quickly learning what the Australians have known for decades… Cold Formed Buildings can be a great economical option to traditional pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB’s). And, since each building ships with engineered plans including foundation layout and details, you can feel confident that you’re buying a quality product.
Shorter Lead Times
Pre-engineered building lead-time often runs several months. In contrast, you can get a Cold Formed Building delivered within weeks!
- 20-25% Less Concrete: Cold Formed Buildings utilize closer column spacing than PEMB’s. As a result, footings, and anchor bolts can be omitted, saving substantial concrete cost and labor.
- No Pre-Set Anchor Bolts! Traditional metal buildings require structural slabs, footings and anchor bolts. In contrast, with Cold Formed Buildings you can skip the footing and anchor bolts. The building simply attaches to the top of the concrete slab!
- Lower Equipment Fees: Due to the weight of the main columns, traditional PEMB’s typically require a crane for installation. However, a Cold Formed Building installation is often completed with just scaffolding or a forklift. Between equipment rental and operator fees, the savings add up.
Quicker Installation
For contractors, time is money! With Cold Formed Buildings your crews can quickly complete a project and move on to the next one. And, from our experience, building owners rarely complain about a quick construction and move-in schedule.
Reduced Onsite Fabrication
Cold Formed Buildings are constructed with weld- free roll formed components. Not only do they look better than traditional PEMB’s, they also require minimal jobsite fabrication.
