We provide high quality steel fabrication services throughout Yorkshire and the UK

Despite the fact that the construction of steel buildings has been fairly commonplace since the early 20^th century, steel framed buildings have become much more widespread since the Second World War. This rise in the popularity of steel framed buildings is due to a range of factors, from steel becoming more readily available, through to the cost savings this method of construction can offer.

In addition to the cost efficiency of steel fabrication construction, as materials have improved, so has the range of applications. Steel fabrication is now widely used in the construction industry to build everything from factories, hospitals and schools, through to apartment blocks and houses. The use of computer aided design software has also had a significant impact as it allows for a far wider range of imaginative design capabilities.

As we’ve discussed in previous blog posts, steel fabricated buildings can offer a wide range of benefits, including fast construction times, durability and versatility. Choosing a steel framed building helps keep construction costs to a minimum and results in a flexible building which can be easily expanded or altered as your requirements change. From high rise buildings, through to warehouses, large spaces and temporary structures, steel fabricated buildings are the ideal choice for a whole host of construction projects.

Steel fabricated buildings designed, built and installed by Steelwork Engineering

Using fabricated steel is an increasingly popular way to construct a wide range of buildings. Structural steel offers a number of benefits including a reduction in costs and construction time and it’s benefits such as these which help to explain the increasing popularity of steel fabricated buildings.

Steel fabricated buildings are built to last

Steel’s strength literally lies in its durability and because little or no maintenance is needed, using steel is a great way to ensure maximum value from your new structure, whilst ensuring any future costs are kept to an absolute minimum. Fabricated steel provides consistently high standards; guaranteeing strength, durability and precision in all locations – even the most challenging.

In comparison to concrete which can shrink or even move over time, steel fabricated buildings are built to last. Steel is extremely strong, which gives steel the ability to resist damage. In the unlikely event that repairs are required, they can be easily carried out, restoring the steel to its original strength.

Adaptable places designed to adapt and grow

By using long span steel sections in building construction, large open-plan areas can be easily created, providing large spaces free from columns and which can be designed with flexibility in mind. This flexibility can help significantly extend the lifespan of a building, providing the option to change and adapt the space as your business grows and develops.

Hassle-free construction

Steel is tough enough to withstand even the very worst of weather conditions and it’s this toughness which allows the construction of steel buildings to take place throughout the year. Steel is predictable and accurate, helping to reduce construction times in comparison to concrete framed buildings. Choosing a steel fabricated building will help you ensure your construction project is completed on time and on budget.

Steel frame buildings designed and built by Steelwork Engineering

The use of structural steel in construction is becoming increasingly popular and is now widely used in the building of industrial and commercial buildings. With this in mind, we thought it would be a good opportunity to discuss some of the many advantages which steel frame buildings can offer.

Flexible, high-speed construction

Perhaps the most significant benefit of steel frame fabrication is a reduction in construction time. Using fabricated steel in building means super-fast construction times, especially in projects where structural steel components are manufactured offsite and partly assembled. In addition, unlike concrete buildings, steel frame buildings are ready for immediate use once they arrive on set because they don’t need time to set. Steel frame buildings also offer exceptional adaptability as they can be easily extended, modernised or updated, ensuring a future-proof, long-term investment.

Steel framed buildings provide a cost effective construction solution

By opting for a steel fabricated building design, rather than concrete, for example, construction time will be reduced and this will lead to a reduction in the overall cost of the project. Choosing steel over concrete can result in impressive time savings without having to compromise on the quality of the completed building. It is also possible to make savings when it comes to waste management as the amount of waste generated during steel building construction is limited as the building is constructed according to a set of detailed measurements. This means that the structural steel elements of the building are fabricated off site ready to be delivered, therefore reducing the costs which can be incurred by on-site storage.

Building foundations tends to be one of the biggest costs of most construction projects but by choosing a steel frame building, the foundations are significantly cheaper to build because the completed structure is lighter and will not put as much force onto the foundations. Therefore it is possible to use smaller, less expensive foundations.

Durable steel buildings built to last by Steelwork Engineering

Steel framed buildings are incredibly durable and weather resistant and will not shrink rust, or corrode. In addition, steel frame buildings manufactured by Steelwork Engineering are designed and built with the utmost precision, ensuring the highest standards of quality and a worthwhile investment.

Environmental benefits

Sustainability is last but by no means least on our list. Whilst there’s no doubt that steel framed buildings offer a number of benefits, it’s also worth bearing in mind that using steel in a construction project can be a good way to increase your environmental credentials. Designed to last an incredibly long time, steel can also be recycled several times without compromising on quality.
