Prefab Buildings for Agricultural Storage Facilities

Looking for Storage Space for Your Agricultural Equipment?

The average price of a new John Deere Combine can run anywhere from $400,000 to $500,000. But after customizations and other add-ons that number can grow exponentially. This is double the average price of a house in the United States. And it represents a tremendous investment. One that needs to be protected. It also means that those in the agriculture and farming industry are in need of safe and secure combine storage and equipment storage buildings. ]In this past this meant costly architectural planning, the need for an engineer and contractor, and it meant that you would have to spend a few weeks to a few months waiting for your building to be constructed. All of this meant time and money. And if there were any issues during the construction phase, budgets could get blown rather quickly. However, many of those individuals in the agricultural industry are now turning to prefab agricultural storage buildings that are constructed with farm building kits. These farm building kits can be used for combine storage, equipment storage buildings, or for just about any need on a farm. The farm building kits are much more cost effective then traditional buildings. And they can also be constructed incredibly quickly.

Using Farm Building Kits for Agricultural Storage Building

Even though prefab metal buildings have been in use for decades now there are still some individuals who hesitate to employee them because they fear that using modular or prefabricated building methods will produce an inferior product. This however could not be further from the truth. And in particular when it comes to constructing an agriculture storage building using farm building kits can actually get you the results you desire.

For starters when using farm building kits for an agriculture storage building you are able to easily customize your building to suit your needs. With traditional building methods this means a lot of architectural and engineering work, which are costly, as well as a general understanding for how the process works. But with farm building kits you can easily design your combine storage or equipment storage buildings. And you do not need to have any previous building experience. The reason for this is because of the way that the agricultural storage buildings are constructed and because with companies like Titan Steel Structures you are given a personal project manager who can guide you through the entire process with expertise and experience.

But rather that a lot of the unwanted work is taken care of. Which will free your mind to truly explore what sort of agricultural storage building you want. And what is even better is that with prefab equipment storage buildings you are only limited in size, scope, and design, by your imagination.

Advantages of Using a Standing Seam Roof on your Prefab Building

Standing Seamed Roofs and Prefabricated Buildings – What are the benefits?

When you begin your journey into purchasing prefab metal buildings a lot of the terminology can seem foreign and confusing. There are so many choices and so many decisions to make that it can at times be overwhelming to try and digest all of the information that is being given to you. Luckily there are individuals who can help guide you through this process. And when using a company like Titan Steel Structures you will have access to personal project managers that can help decipher the design, engineering, and constructing process for you. This allows you to focus on the overall picture of what sort of prefab metal buildings you would like. While they handle all of the minor details. 

What are the benefits of standing seamed roofs?

Today we are going to be looking at one such decision that can be made during the design process for our prefab metal buildings. And that is using a standing seam roof for your steel building or metal building.

Most people have probably never heard the term standing seam roof, but they have definitely seen these roofs in use before. They are aesthetically pleasing to look at, and offer a number of benefits for those in the market for prefab metal buildings.

Advantages of using a Standing Seam Roof…

Standing seam roofs are roofs that have panels that run vertically up the roof. The reason that they are called standing seam is because the metal panels of the roof are connected with interlocking seams. The seams are raised creating a visual aesthetic that is the most prominent feature of the roof.

Some of the main reasons that individuals are choosing to use standing seam roofs of their buildings are:

standing seamed roof and prefabricated buildings

A standing seam roof is resilient

A metal standing seam roof is for the most part more resilient to the elements then wood, or other more traditional roofing options. This is especially true if you live in an area that experiences extreme weather conditions or extreme changes in weather.

A standing seam roof lasts for a long time

Considering the fact that metal is one of the most durable building materials in use today you can expect that your standing seam roof will last for a long time. On average we have found that these types of roof can last for up to 50 years.

A standing seam roof is great looking

Few things in life are both utilitarian and aesthetically pleasing, but standing seam roofs fit this bill. If you have ever seen them standing atop a warehouse or home, then you know exactly what we are talking about. The interlocking seams running down the roof are pleasing to the eye and the fact that you can easily paint them whatever color you’d like is also a plus.

A standing seam roof can conserve energy

Beyond that fact that a metal roof is inherently more energy efficient then shingled roofing or wood roofing options, they can also be painted which can further energy savings. On average a metal roof can save you 40% on air conditioning or heating throughout the year.  

A standing seam roof does not have many seams

If you live in an area where there is a lot of precipitation then having less seams in your roof is what you are really looking for. Since a standing seam roof only has one seam running across the top of the roof, this means that your roof will be less prone to leaking.

Using Solar Panels on Your Pre-Engineered Steel Building

Solar and Prefabricated Buildings Equal Savings

When solar panels and solar power technology was first introduced to U.S. markets one of the major complaints that people had was that they were not efficient enough to recuperate their investment in a timely manner. People felt that the savings that they would get from putting solar panels on their workplace or on their homes was not sufficient and so many people avoided their usage. This however has changed. And as solar panel systems have become more efficient in producing energy, a larger portion of the population has begun to use solar power within their day to day life. In fact it is estimated that this year a new solar panel system, or solar PV, was installed every 4 minutes in the United States. 

How Much Can I Expect to Save From Using Solar Panels

The answer to this question can vary dramatically, depending on where you live. If you live in Miami you can expect a monthly savings of roughly $73 if you use solar. But this number can go up. Especially if you are using a grid connected solar system. As excess electricity will be put back into the power grid, thereby further reducing your costs. If you live in Los Angeles you can expect to save around $128 a month. And over the span of 20 years you can expect to save around $40,000. Which is almost 3 times what the cost of your installation could be.

Even though the savings can be dramatic if you chose to use solar, there are still individuals, especially in the industrial field, who are weary of implementing this power source into their steel building or metal building. The reason being is that they are afraid that solar is not going to be sufficient to power their equipment. Or they are afraid that if the solar energy breaks down that they will be unable to do their work.    

Why People Are Turning to Solar Power for Prefab Metal Buildings

One of the main reasons why individuals are beginning to use solar panels in conjunction with their metal building kits is because of the cost savings that they are able to see. For starters when choosing to use metal buildings kits or prefab metal structures, you are already ahead of the game in terms of cost of construction. And when installing solar you are simply adding to that cost savings over the long run. Not to mention that due to the way that metal building kits are designed and constructed, it is very easy to implement solar panels into the initial design. Or even add them after a structure has already been built.

In certain cases individuals will need to install their metal building kits in a place where they may not be able to easily access the electrical grid. This is not always the case, or even a fairly common case, but when using solar power, it is possible to put your prefab building anywhere you’d like.

Considering that the average solar panel system costs anywhere from $25,000 to $35,000. And you can possible get up to 50% of the money back as an incentive from the state or local government, it makes sense to why so many people are using solar with their metal building kits. They are able to see that not only are they helping the environment, which is important to many individuals, but also they are able to save themselves and their business money in the long run.

why you should buy a new building instead of a pre existing one

Why You Should Buy a New Building Instead of a Pre-Existing One

Why purchase a used steel building when a new one is the same price?

Making the decision to purchase a piece of commercial real estate can be an exciting and nerve wracking experience. On one hand there is the possibility of financial reward, which is always a good thing. But on the other hand there is the need to put out an investment, which can bring anxiety.

However, even if you are not purchasing commercial real estate as an investment, but rather are simply looking for a place to house your car collection, your horses, or your family’s excess material goods, there can still be apprehension in your decision. If you are not well versed in construction or real estate, and you are looking to purchase a pre-existing building, then there is the anxiety produced from the inspections, the renovations you will have to do, and the various other things that come with purchasing a pre-existing building.

Purchasing an existing prefabricated steel building…

When you purchase an existing building, you are inheriting all of the issues that come with that building. As a result you may find yourself a few years down the road having to make costly renovations or changes to the building that you could not have foreseen in the beginning. For this reason a great many people in the United States are moving towards building their own commercial real estate rather then purchasing pre-owned buildings. In fact in 2017 new private sector commercial real estate construction topped $85 billion. Meaning that $85 billion worth of new commercial buildings were constructed in that year alone.

prefabricated steel buildings used or new

Yet deciding to construct a new building comes with its own set of anxieties. One of which is usually the fact that many people have no idea where to begin with this endeavor. In the past construction of a new steel building or a new metal building meant a tremendous amount of planning and a lot of engineering and construction know how. But with the advent of prefab metal buildings and metal building kits, this in no longer the case.

The Pro’s of Buying Prefab Metal Buildings

One of the main barriers to purchasing a new building for many people is the notion that they have to have a lot of experience with construction or architecture. They simply cannot imagine building a structure that they love, for a price that makes sense to them. Due to this they stay away from new construction and opt to purchase an existing building. However, when using metal building kits in order to construct prefab metal buildings, you do not need to have experience with building. Nor do you have to spend an inordinate amount of money to achieve your goals.

The latter aspect of prefab metal buildings and metal building kits is what truly draws most people to this sort of construction. They look at the price of constructing a new building with metal building kits compared to what it will cost them to purchase an existing building and they see that there is just no real comparison.

To put this into perspective, in order to purchase a 2400 sq. ft. existing warehouse building in Miami, Florida you can expect to spend around $400,000. This number can go up tremendously depending on locality within the city. But if you are looking to purchase prefab metal buildings you can expect to spend around $45,000 to $50,000 on the shell of the building. Yes, you will have to spend money on building out your structure and the land, but considering that the cost of an existing building is almost 10 times the amount of a new structure, you have a lot of wiggle room to work.

Really though the most important reason to purchase a new building rather than an existing one is because you will not be inheriting any issues that an existing building may have. You won’t have to worry about possibly having to change out the A/C in a few years. You won’t have to worry about the roof leaking. And you won’t have to worry about the structural integrity of your building. You will know exactly what you are purchasing and since everything is new, you will not have to worry much about spending money on upkeep.
