Why Choose a Great Western Metal Building for Government Purposes?

Metal buildings are inherently more robust and long-lasting than traditional wooden structures. In addition, our buildings require little to no maintenance, meaning that you can trust you’re getting a structure built to last. When it comes to government buildings like fire stations, schools, and other buildings with public funding, this means a reduction in the use of taxpayer dollars for upkeep and repairs. In addition, metal structures are typically cheaper to insure because of their robust nature. They’re far more resistant to extreme weather conditions and fire. Overall, a steel building provides unprecedented safety and financial efficiency. 

Metal buildings are superior in both efficiency and sustainability. They’re manufactured with recyclable materials, and because of our precise engineering here at Great Western, job site waste is minimized in both time and materials. Modern insulation solutions combine with our buildings to provide highly efficient interior climate control that reduces emissions and energy costs. Of course, our designers can also integrate roof accommodations for solar panels to minimize your building’s carbon footprint and even qualify it for green building certificates. 

Great Western metal buildings are designed and manufactured in the United States using American steel, so they meet the requirements of the Buy American Act.

Our team has decades of experience designing buildings to meet International Building Code standards for climate-based requirements like snow load, wind resistance, and seismic activity.

Installing a stud wall of light steel or timber studs does not require any modification to your Great Western building’s design. Simply installing the walls between the building’s girts and purlins within the wall or roof system allows sufficient interior buildout without additional materials from your standard design. Our designers can also outfit your building with girts spaced at either two or four feet with hat channels placed on 16-inch centers for a more straightforward interior finishing experience. This requires us to adjust the roof and wall design to support the extra material, but it’s a simple process that our designers have no problem accommodating.
