Cold Formed Metal Buildings

Cold Formed Metal Buildings | Strong, Lightweight Steel Construction

 

Frame Material & Rigidity

Cold formed metal buildings are built with light-gauge steel members shaped at room temperature into strong “C” or “Z” sections. This method creates excellent rigidity while keeping weight low.


Span Capability

These buildings can span 40–60 feet without interior supports, offering open, usable space for workshops, retail, or storage facilities.


Durability & Foundation

Cold formed steel is galvanized or coated for corrosion resistance, ensuring decades of performance. They’re typically anchored to a concrete slab or stem wall for stability.


Ease of Assembly

Pre-engineered and pre-punched components make construction fast and straightforward. Many small contractors or skilled DIYers can assemble these buildings without specialized equipment.


Customization

These systems are highly customizable with insulation, mezzanines, custom doors, and multiple exterior finishes. They’re also easy to expand as your business grows.


Cost

Cold formed buildings are mid-range in cost—more than tube frames but less than red iron systems—offering an excellent value for strength and longevity.


Building Code Compliance

They can be engineered to meet local codes for commercial, agricultural, or industrial projects, including snow and wind load standards.


Common Uses

Cold formed metal buildings are widely used for small warehouses, farm structures, workshops, and storage units. They’re the ideal middle ground between lightweight and heavy-duty steel buildings.
