How Tall Should Your Pre-Engineered Metal Building Be?
Building height is one of those decisions that can seem simple early in design, but it can have a major impact on how well the building functions long term. The right height should be driven by the end user. A light manufacturing company may need additional clearance for equipment, cranes, ventilation, or process piping. A warehouse tenant may need greater clear height for pallet racking. An automotive or service business may need taller overhead doors and room for vehicle li

Why One Flex Warehouse Costs $100/SF... and Another Costs $150/SF
One of the biggest misconceptions in commercial construction is that all flex buildings cost about the same. In reality, we've seen projects range anywhere from $100/SF to over $150/SF, and the building size is rarely the biggest reason. Here are a few of the factors that move the needle: • Site Development – Poor soils, detention ponds, retaining walls, utility extensions, and excessive grading can dramatically increase costs before the building even starts. • Exterior Finis
