Why Choose Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings in Colorado?
Weather Resilience
The weather in Colorado is unpredictable and variable—one moment you could be basking in sunshine, and the next, you’re caught in a snowstorm. Pre-engineered steel buildings are designed to handle these fluctuations in temperature, humidity, and precipitation. Steel structures are designed to meet or exceed local building codes. They can withstand heavy snow loads and are safer where wildfires are common.
Colorado has 5,618 wildfires each year. They burn about 237,500 acres. In recent years, major fires have occurred outside the traditional fire season of May to September. The largest fires in Colorado’s history have all occurred since 2002—the Cameron Peak Fire in 2020 burned over 200,000 acres. That’s why it’s important to build prefab metal buildings in Colorado.
Wooden buildings and structures may buckle under the weight of heavy snow and suffer severe structural damage. Steel’s high tensile strength and load-bearing capacity keep buildings safe in harsh weather.

Fast Construction
Time is critical in construction, especially in Colorado. The building season is often short because of the weather and limited to late spring through early fall. Pre-engineered steel building elements are fabricated in factories and arrive at the construction site ready to be assembled. This significantly reduces construction time, often by 33% or more compared to the traditional process.
The ease of assembly means fewer labor hours, which translates to cost savings. Imagine being able to use your new cold storage warehouse months ahead of schedule. That’s the advantage of investing in pre-engineered steel buildings.
Cost Efficiency
Pre-engineered steel buildings typically use fewer materials and labor. So, they cost less than timber or brick structures.
Steel buildings are also energy-efficient and save you money on heating and cooling. Steel does not warp, rot, or require frequent repair. This makes it a wise investment for anyone looking to minimize long-term expenses.
Customization Options
One of the standout features of pre-engineered steel buildings is their versatility. These structures can be customized to any need. Whether you’re looking to build a barn, an airplane hangar, or a retail space, the options are nearly limitless.
Most importantly, the design flexibility of a steel building doesn’t come at the expense of structural integrity. Steel buildings are engineered for form and function. You can choose from various layouts, and roof styles, or incorporate energy-efficient features like solar panels or advanced insulation.
We added a large vehicle repair and maintenance facility, employee support spaces, and other ancillary areas to the Al Packer Ford auto shop, all while keeping the existing repair shop and showroom operational.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are the typical timelines for steel building construction?
The construction timeline for a pre-engineered steel building varies based on the project’s complexity and size. You can expect the construction to be completed 30% faster than a traditional building. For example, a conventional six-month construction project could be completed in about four months with a pre-engineered building.
Can pre-engineered buildings withstand Colorado weather?
Yes, pre-engineered steel buildings are specifically designed to withstand the diverse and often extreme weather in Colorado. These buildings are engineered to meet or exceed local building codes, which include provisions for heavy snow loads and high winds. The non-combustible nature of steel makes these buildings a safer choice in areas prone to wildfires.
How long does it take to construct a pre-engineered steel building in Colorado?
Most projects can be completed within a matter of weeks once the components arrive on site.
Are prefab steel buildings customizable?
Yes, one of the significant advantages of pre-engineered steel buildings is their customizability. You can choose from a variety of layouts, finishes, and features to meet your specific needs and aesthetic preferences.
Can pre-engineered steel buildings be expanded in the future?
Yes, we can design steel buildings with expansions in mind. If you expect the need to grow your space, this can be planned for and easily accomplished with steel construction.
