New Metal Building Design Process

Your project begins with the pre-design phase, whereby our team will contact all of the respective stakeholders to understand your needs, goals, and vision. This is also a great time for multiple concepts to be thrown around and defined by the parameters that guide the subsequent design. Be it commercial, industrial, or agricultural use, our architects will work together with you to ensure initial ideas match the long-term vision and objectives of the metal building currently under development.

Once the main goals are set, schematic design follows. At this stage, major ideas are developed into concrete designs. The architects and designers begin drafting the layout and structure of your metal building, emphasizing function and beauty in your building design. This is a very important stage because it helps visualize how the finished building will look and function, putting everyone on the same page before tackling the work.

The schematic design progresses the design development further. The design will now be much more detailed and realistic, with a concentration on what materials, systems, and construction will be employed. It usually involves the type of steel for the metal building, the general structural framework to be used, and pinpointing the building space plan. We make sure everything within the design is optimized for maximum durability, efficient use, and cost-effectiveness.

The construction document phase includes detailed drawings and specifications for the construction of your metal building. This includes structural details to electrical and plumbing systems so that the process can be as effortless and efficient as possible. As one of the most valued developers and builders, we stress accuracy and clarity in our documentation and, therefore, lay a concrete foundation where there is truly minimal chance of error or misunderstanding during construction.

Once the construction documents have been completed, the project is bid out. We have a network of reliable contractors and suppliers with guaranteed value for your investment. This critical phase lays the foundation for construction, since it identifies the party responsible to carry out the design into reality through bidding and negotiation. Our team manages this process with precision to ensure that the partners chosen are suitable for your project’s goals and budget.

During the construction administration phase, our architects and builders collaborate closely with the construction team to execute the project in strict conformity with the design documents. This involves site visits on a regular basis, coordination with the contractors, and solving issues that might arise during construction. All that with a view to ensuring such construction under safe conditions, timely, and within the budget without compromising on the highest standards of quality.

The post-occupancy review is the final step in our design process. When your metal building is finished and occupied, we do an in-depth review for your satisfaction and functioning as intended. This allows us to understand any apprehensions one might have and make substitutions or modifications, if necessary, toward the long-term success of your project.
