Can a Steel Building be Moved to Another Location?

Posted on April 19, 2012 by admin

Sometimes, moving is something that is necessary. Everything has to be packed up in order to be taken to the new destination. It all has to be loaded in a moving vehicle of some sort only to be unpacked when it reaches the new location. After everything is taken out of the building, you look back at it with sadness because of the fond memories you have, but that is something you must leave behind. Well, you’re at least leaving the neighborhood behind.
You stand there watching how these guys are putting the building on the back of an 18 wheeler and you can’t wait until it is delivered to the new location that your company acquired. There is more land and more steel buildings to be delivered to the location. Not too many people can move to a location that is ten miles away from them and actually take the building with them.
Depending on the size of the steel building, it can be moved in pieces and put together at its final destination. Sometimes a steel building may be like a storage container that is used as an office. Whatever the reason, there is a process to moving a steel building. It may seem like a mystery to some as to how it is possible to move something so large and so heavy, but the process is rather easy at times.
It doesn’t matter if the building is new and just being built or is an existing structure that needs to be moved, it has to be divided up into pieces. When it is a new building, the pieces are built, shipped to the building’s destination, and then assembled there. If the building is an existing structure, then it will be divided into the same pieces it was in when it arrived brand new. After this occurs, the following steps take place:
- The pieces are lifted by a building jack apparatus. The buildings are usually built with slots in which the building jack apparatus can be inserted.
- The jack then lifts the building up to a predetermined height, but instead of it being lifted onto the truck, the truck backs up under the lifted building. The jack then lowers the building onto the bed of the trailer.
- When the building meets its destination, the same method can be used to lift the building off of the trailer bed or the trailer bed may be hydraulic and can carefully slide the building off of the back of it. This step depends on whether or not that piece of the building can stand on its own. This process is repeated for all of the pieces. Depending on the size of the building, it can take several trucks to move the building.
However, when moving a steel building that has already been in place for a while, it is necessary to employ a company that has the trucks, the manpower, and the proper tools to move a steel building. Usually, those who actually manufacture them can provide moving services for people who need to move steel buildings, but such services do come with a cost. It is more or less going to depend on how many pieces need transported and the size of the building.
These factors will determine how many trucks are needed, what tools are needed, and how many people need to be involved in the moving effort. It can be quite extensive. At least if anyone has doubts about a steel building being able to be moved, you can contradict them by telling them that you know the basics of how it is done.

Easy to Assemble Steel Buildings

Posted on April 18, 2012 by admin

If you are in need of a new building, whether for work or home then you should certainly consider a steel building. Buildings that are constructed with steel are durable, long lasting and easy to put together, saving you in material and construction costs.There are many steel building companies that offer steel buildings today but most of them are brokers, not the actual fabricator like Absolute Steel. While they all offer fairly concise kits that can be trucked to your location along with written instructions and or videos, only with Absolute Steel will you be talking to the “horse’s mouth”. If you have a question and have dealt with a broker, you’re going to be dealing with a salesman in a bullpen so be sure to check the company out you’re going to be dealing with to make sure they have an easy building to erect and that you have knowledgeable people to help you after the sale.Absolute Steel fits the above criteria better than any other company in America!Since you can assemble the entire building yourself, you can save hundreds or thousands of dollars on labor. All you need to do is assemble the frame and attach the exterior panels and trim. Once completed your steel building is virtually maintenance free, and you will never have to worry about common lumber building issues such as insect infestation or rot.Pre-fabricated steel buildings are more efficient to assemble and there is no construction waste as everything you need is pre-cut and welded. Steel buildings can be used for garages, sheds, workshops, warehouses and even airplane hangars and offices. The exterior of a steel building can take on the appearance of wood or stone so it can look as tasteful as the surrounding buildings to blend in.There are hundreds of different shapes and styles of steel buildings to choose from, and nearly every layout imaginable. The building can even be designed so that additions can be easily made in the future as your office, work or family expands.Since steel lasts much longer than conventional building materials it is a great choice for anyone who wants a building that will last a long time. Once erected the steel building is extremely durable and dependable, requiring very little upkeep. In fact, to say they are maintenance free would not be an exaggeration.And for those of you who live in an area of heavy snowfall, with your new strong steel building you will never have to take your life into your hands while shoveling snow off your roof. Most often the snow will simply slide off with just a touch of midday temperature change. When constructing your new steel building, you will find it is much easier to work with than lumber. Not only is steel lighter, there is no chance of warping or knots. All corners in your steel building will be perfectly square. All windows and doors can be installed easily in the pre-cut openings without a leak or faulty seal. Once completed, you can enjoy the use of the building without having concerning yourself with continual upkeep or maintenance. It is not hard to see why steel buildings are becoming much more popular these days, with their easy installation, low maintenance and durability. A steel building can weather the test of time in even extreme conditions such as hot summers and cold winters, not to mention high winds and moist climates. Save yourself time and money with a pre-fabricated tough steel building that Absolute Steel can fabricate to your exact requirements.

What are Prefab Garage Kits?

Posted on April 17, 2012 by admin

The idea of prefab garage kits is fairly recent, as a matter of fact, the word prefabricated only dates back to 1932. It means “to fabricate the parts of at a factory so that construction consists mainly of assembling and uniting standardized parts”. In other words, the pieces are made in a factory to exacting standards, and then the parts are shipped to location where they are assembled.

There are many companies that make prefabricated buildings, but one of the most innovative and leading companies is VersaTube, based out of Tennessee. They were founded in 1994 by Tim Soder and Bruce Ostrander, and are still a privately owned business today. VersaTube’s outstanding growth was noted in 2007 when they were recognized by Inc. 5000, making the magazines list of “The Fastest Growing Private Companies in America” based upon revenue growth from 2003 through 2006. Due to their growth, they opened a second manufacturing facility in Arizona, allowing better service to the West Coast.

Now, we live in northern Idaho, not to be mixed up with the southern part of the state where potato’s are grown. We are up in lake and mountain country. My husband noted the other day how a majority of homes had a large outbuilding that was used for a garage, shop, equipment storage, extra space or for whatever is needed. There is just so much that you can do with an extra building, so the option of prefab garage kits is wonderful. Besides usefulness, it adds value to your property. And with VersaTube’s patented framing system, building your own garage or outbuilding is easier than ever before.

VersaTube prefab garage kits use steel framing. The patented system uses an innovative machined process that VersaTube has termed “swaging”. Swaging creates “Slip-Fit” frame connectors in which one piece of the steel framing easily slips into the end of the other piece, no connector insert tubes are needed, which streamlines and simplifies the assembly process.

The steel that VersaTube uses is of the highest quality, heavy duty, galvanized steel. It has three layers of zinc bonding for corrosion protection, and a clear polymer coating to provide a nice looking finish. The triple layer zinc bonding has proven to resist rust two times longer than other steel tubing products.

The idea of steel framing is becoming popular, especially in steel buildings. Steel offers a lot of features, such as being cost effective, it is strong, durable and lightweight, it is long lasting and recyclable, easy to install and is low maintenance. With these and other advantages, VersaTube soon saw the growing need in the market for complete building packages (they originally started out with just the framing system). Besides prefab garage kits, they also offer RV covers, carports, horse barns, loafing sheds, boat slip covers and canopy’s. Many people (residential and commercial) have found other uses for VersaTube buildings to suit their needs perfectly. As a matter of fact, last year when the Lansing, MI Ford Airport was undergoing construction, they used a VersaTube building to create a covered walkway to protect pedestrians entering the terminals, both from the construction and inclement weather.

Regardless of the size you need, VersaTube prefab garage kits will work for you. Easy for a couple of people to assemble in a weekend, you get a high quality building with an excellent warranty for the fraction of the cost of a more labor intensive structure.
