If you have never discovered a 'Steel Building' before; here is a layman's guide to
what they are, and what's so clever about them.
Steel Buildings are glorified 'meccano' type constructions. Through the clever use of
brackets, struts and geometry the structure possess immense strength.
Because they are made of smaller, modular components that can be easily, quickly
and cheaply manufactured, the results are low cost, secure buildings that are only
limited by the creativity and imagination of the designer or specifer.
These buildings can range from the very small ones, similar to garden sheds to ones
accommodating large aircraft. Architects use steel frames to create amazing
structures such as the Lloyds building in London and the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
The sheeting that covers our buildings is finished in any of 17 colours with different
internal and external finishes, such as extra thick insulation for a building that is
going to provide living space for people.
As long as they have a simple concrete base, these buildings can be errected in
hours, yet can withstand hurricanes.
