Steel structures are ideal building components for warehouses, industries, and other places where it is required to span large areas without having the floor space interrupted by columns. Almost 95 percent of industries and warehouses use steel structures to cover their operational areas.
The main advantage of using warehouse steel structures is that the entire structure can be manufactured off site, while the foundations are prepared on the ground. The manufactured steel components are then brought to the site and quickly assembled to form the warehouse or factory structure.
The cost of a warehouse steel structure can vary form $10 to $20 per square foot of the area being covered, if the heights are standard of between 20 and 30 feet at the eaves. Higher eaves heights and roof slopes can add to these costs, as can excessive widths of warehouses. For a complete warehouse, foundation costs, costs of flooring, door and window openings also contribute to final costs.
There are many factors that can influence the cost of a steel structure warehouse. Location is a factor that can influence transport costs and costs of labor. The size of the warehouse, the required clear floor space spans, and the height of the eaves, the roof framing structure can also effect costs. Local conditions, where you require extensive site preparation can add to costs. The condition of the soil an affect foundation designs and hence costs. The utilities that you put in, often cranes can affect the final cost and also affect the design and makeup of the steel structure itself. If you require special consideration of weather conditions, like high rainfall or snowfall, or high wind conditions, this can also affect the cost of the steel structure.
Steel structure manufacturers can also undertake the design of the structure depending on the conditions given above. They will quote for design, fabrication, and delivery of the prefab steel structure within seven days of confirmation of the design and placing of the order. They will give the client the design of the foundations required that will hold the columns of the structure on which the steel structure will stand. As manufacture is under controlled conditions, the parts sent to the site will be easy to assemble as per the instructions of the manufacturer. Steel parts will have their own identification numbers or markings that allow assembly of all the parts to complete the steel structure.
While the cost of the steel structure will be a major part of the cost of a steel structure warehouse, other associated costs for completing the building can increase cost by about 30 percent or more of the cost of the steel structure. Steel structure costs are also influenced by the price of steel, that in turn is affected by the price of iron ore.
One feature that makes steel structure warehouse more attractive, is the speed at which these buildings can be erected. A shorter time frame also allows operations to commence quickly so that costs can be recovered earlier than if the building was a traditional one of concrete.
