The Limitless Potential of Custom Steel Buildings for Start-Ups
Investing in steel is just the thing your small business needs to grow.
Small businesses, home businesses, and start-ups are growing and thriving these days. With the popularity of consumers focusing on shopping local instead of at larger retailers, now is a great time to invest in your small business.
But investing in a business space can obviously be a big challenge. With the rise of inflation and housing costs, even finding a reasonable space to rent can be a struggle. This is why custom steel buildings are the obvious solution - and here’s why.
Economical
Yes, erecting a new building can be costly. But dollar-for-dollar, customized steel buildings are one of the most cost-effective choices for creating new retail space. With steel building kits, the exact materials needed for your building are brought to the building site, so you don’t pay for anything extra — plus, the construction time is much faster than traditional buildings, so you’ll save on labor costs too.
You’ll also save money in the long term since steel buildings are easy to maintain. They don’t encounter problems like mold and rot and are resistant to natural disasters (fires, floods, infestations). Not to mention that by investing in your own building, you’re building equity for yourself and not just paying someone else’s rent.
Customization
The highlight of a customized steel building is, well, the customization! No matter what your business needs are (retail, warehousing, storage, commercial, industrial, farming, mining, etc.) pre-engineered metal buildings have the versatility to be configured to your unique needs. This opens endless opportunities for building your brand. Options like lighting, interior space, paint, exterior appeal, and more are considered when you consult with our group of experts.
With all this customization, you don’t have to worry about breaking the bank or increasing your carbon footprint. Steel is a primarily recycled material, which makes it a great option for eco-conscious business owners. The steel framing used in these buildings is also great for insulation and temperature changes, meaning you’ll keep your energy costs down while being greener.
Scaling
The simplicity and durability that comes along with these economical steel buildings also make them a great asset to scaling your business in the future. Prefabricated buildings give you the ability to increase floor space in multiple directions, allowing for changes in your business as you need them. Better yet, is that adding new building space doesn’t have to mean closing your business for construction. When we erected a new space for Fountain Tire, we worked with them to ensure the business could operate as normal during construction. That’s even more money you’ll be able to save by going with custom steel buildings.
