Steel Offers the Strongest Frame Available – because it is made of steel, your pre-engineered auto and body shop building can provide you a strong steel frame that:
gives the support necessary for pullies, winches & cranes;
gives the support to hang and shelve heavy equipment; and
has puncture-proof walls (which are typically under warranty).

Durable & Weather Resistant – pre-engineered steel auto and body shop buildings are crack-proof and safe from pests and moulds. Since steel is the sturdiest material on the market, they are safe even in hurricanes & earthquakes.

Fire Proof – auto and body shops are exposed to high heat and open flame. For your pre engineered steel building, you can work safely with these elements.

Energy Efficient – you can save a lot of money on interior climate control with your pre-engineered auto and body shop because it has the lowest heat and cooling loss compared to other materials. Because of this, you can be assured of ideal working conditions.

Components Precisely Tooled – the components of a pre-engineered auto and body shop are precisely tooled. You can be assured of an airtight indoor environment ideal for auto-body painting and rust-proofing.

Minimal Maintenance – compared to other construction materials, pre-engineered steel auto and body shop buildings require minimal maintenance. They are easy to clean and you can expect no rotting, cracking, or mould. They require no work to upkeep and they are pest resistant.

Attractive Finish – pre-engineered steel auto and body shop buildings are available in highly customizable designs, with large clear-span spaces available.

You even have the option to add stucco, masonry, etc., depending on your needs and preferences.

Single Source Assurance – you get a warranty on entire structure of your pre-engineered steel auto and body shop from one supplier for typically 25 years so you need not worry about the source of your material should you decide to expand later.

Environmentally Responsible – pre-engineered steel auto and body shops are built with recycled material, not from scrap metal. Unlike other construction materials like wood, you will contribute to the saving of our forests since you are using steel and, as an added advantage, it is recyclable.

Insurance Advantages – you can save up to 40% on premiums on your insurance for building with steel.
