All The Steel Building FAQs

As popular as steel buildings are continuing to become, there’s still tons of information that not everyone has access to, leading to questions that are asked many times. It’s no secret that customers thinking about steel building are looking for the best bang for their buck, so of course they’re going to have a lot of questions about how it all works so they can make sure it’s the best possible option. Here are just a few of some of the most asked questions when it comes to steel buildings – and how we would answer them!

How Much Will It Cost?

Obviously price will vary greatly depending on the size of the building kit you choose and any additional customization options, but typically the upfront costs on the structure alone are about 30% less than buying the raw materials for a similarly priced building.

Many people shy away from steel buildings thinking they all have to look industrial and grey when this couldn’t be further from the truth.

What Do I Need to Put Up A Steel Building?

Thanks to easy DIY construction, you don’t actually need much to get the job done – a drill and a wrench is really all you’ll need. Now, knowing how to use them correctly is the key, so defer to contractors if you need to. Unlike other forms of construction, you don’t need carpentry or framing skills to get your structure done, or even much experience measuring for that matter since each part of your building is sent to you already cut exactly to size.

Depending on the size of the building, it’s actually possible to put it up on your own, but like most things it’s helpful to have another set of hands to assist you and finish the job even faster.

How Long Does It Take To Put Up A Steel Building?

Unlike other methods of construction, steel buildings can be erected in a matter of days as opposed to weeks. It’s normal for certain projects to even take 1 or 2 days, depending on the size of the desired structure and the amount of help you have, making it the perfect weekend project.

What Type of Warranty Would I Be Provided With?

Olympia steel buildings come with a 40-year limited rust-through perforation warranty as well as a 40-year limited warranty on paint.
