Steel Buildings and Hurricane Season
Steel Buildings and Hurricane Season

As this year's hurricane season quickly is upon us, we need

to think about the safest way to ensure that our lives can

continue as normal in the aftermath of the big one hitting

near our homes and businesses. In a typical storm season,

we watch the devastation of schools, homes and businesses

caused by poor construction methods of buildings, less than

desirable building materials and less than perfect locations

for buildings. Even with a less than perfect location, a

steel building can weather almost any storm that Mother

Nature can throw at it. We can recall the devastation of

hurricane Katrina and countless tornado scenes played on the

evening news over the last several years. The vivid pictures

make the choice of building structure all the more important

when building your home, business, church or other

structure.

There are 3 main considerations for people to ponder when

making a choice of the type of building to be their next

structure. The first consideration is strength. Brick

material is and always will be a terrific choice for being

able to withstand the worst of any storm. Brick takes time

and expertise to be able to install correctly, which adds to

the overall cost. Steel buildings go up around a shell of

steel poles that are rooted deep into the ground, allowing

them to go up quickly and then be firmly planted. This

means lower initial costs for the building owner and lower

maintenance costs over time. The second consideration is

flexibility of location.

A steel building can be installed about anywhere, including

in the middle of flood plains, allowing building owners to

be comfortable knowing that their building is safe and

secure during bad storms. The structure will dry quickly

and can be re-inhabited much faster than other building

structures in the wake of a bad weather event. The

flexibility of location and quick clean up allows many

building owners to use less expensive parcels of land to

build upon, which ends up being a win for both the land

owner and the building operator. The third consideration is

price. Steel buildings are less expensive than other

structures like brick or wood frame by a range from fifteen

to thirty percent of the total cost.

That is the figure used for just materials. The time to

raise the building and complete it can be reduced by months

when comparing a steel building to a brick or wood frame

structure. That time savings results in cost savings in

actual dollars and in tremendous opportunity costs savings

because, rather than spend time and money building your

building, you can spend that time and energy actually

running your business. In summary, when considering the type

of building to use during heavy storm seasons, careful

consideration should be given to steel buildings.

The convenience, time savings and overall cost reduction

associated with this type of building can put you on the

path to success with less stress than other types of

structures.
