Choosing the right Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) manufacturer and builder can make all the difference in your project’s success. PEMB designs are unique and can increase the possibility of scope gaps, which is why a quality PEMB partner is critical to the overall project’s success. Ensuring your facility is structurally sound, delivered on time, and built to last is something each developer should prioritize. Developers should look to partner with the most qualified and innovative PEMB providers when starting their design. So, how do you make the right choice for your metal building project?
Not all PEMBs are created equal. The foundation of any quality steel building lies in its engineering. Look for a manufacturer that adheres to industry-recognized standards, such as those from the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) and the Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA).
At Forge Building Company, our engineering process goes beyond compliance. Every structure is thoughtfully designed around site-specific conditions such as snow loads, wind exposure, and seismic activity. Our in-house engineering team works together with design consultants to ensure each project delivers exceptional structural integrity and long-term durability. Close coordination with architects, MEP, civil engineers, and owners ensures PEMB is designed to be efficient and accommodates each consultant’s needs while also keeping the project budget in mind.
Timely delivery is critical in today’s fast-paced construction landscape. Delays in steel fabrication or component delivery can stall an entire project. Before committing to a PEMB provider, ask about their lead times, supply chain stability, and in-house fabrication capabilities. Make sure you have a clear, realistic timeline to ensure the project stays on schedule and helps minimize disruptions to your operations. Finally, inquire about the company’s after-sales service, including maintenance, repairs, and support after the project is completed.
Forge takes a proactive approach by controlling a significant portion of the supply chain internally. Our partnership with steel suppliers, combined with our efficient project management process, enables us to provide transparency to developers. This mitigates assumptions and ensures expectations are collaboratively developed.
Another factor to consider is a contractor’s design services, as design plays a crucial role in any building project. Can they customize your pre-engineered metal building design to meet your specific needs? Be sure to ask about their customization options during the planning and design phase.
At Forge Building Company, we avoid cookie-cutter designs that leave no room for customization. We design innovative, pre-engineered steel buildings with modular or clear-span layouts for any application, allowing the product to be as flexible as necessary. The structure is often dependent on interior and exterior finishes. Experienced PEMB providers tailor their designs to accommodate the desired aesthetic finishes. Often, inexperienced PEMB providers do not accommodate interior and/or exterior finishes, which can introduce scope gaps and lead to budget overruns.
A reputable PEMB manufacturer stands behind their work. Comprehensive warranties on materials, finishes, and workmanship provide peace of mind that your investment is protected. It is key to look for companies that provide cost-effective solutions without compromising on the quality of materials or workmanship. It is also important to ask about the specific grades of steel, coatings, and finishes being used, ensuring that they meet your structural demands and are protected against local environmental factors.
Forge Building Company offers warranties designed to safeguard your project for years to come, with responsive service and dedicated post-construction support that continues long after completion.
