Whether you’re trying to avoid excess exposure to the unforgiving Death Valley sun or just want to get back to scenic leisure, saving time on your job site is of utmost importance. Furthermore, the Pacific Ocean brings its own set of corrosive properties that can be destructive to buildings. While the year-round sun and warmth is certainly a draw to humans, it’s also a draw to Drywood, Dampwood, and Subterranean termites.
For all these reasons, a metal building kit is a phenomenal solution for your construction project on the West Coast.
The climate of coastal cities is more than capable of rusting and corroding metal objects. However, modern solutions like G90 Galvanizing offer superb resistance to corrosion and rust. Furthermore, modern insulation systems are cost-effective and help to prevent moisture accumulation within the structure of a metal building.
While many people picture the West Coast as a tropical paradise, it has its less-than-desirable days. Heavy rains can bring sudden and substantial flash flooding. Earthquakes are a concern and can collapse buildings and structures, and even occasional hurricanes (though quite rare) make their way through parts of the West Coast. A metal building is extremely advantageous in these conditions thanks to its superior strength and durability compared to traditional construction and building materials.
Finally, a metal building doesn’t have to wear the cookie-cutter warehouse appearance you’re likely picturing. Metal buildings can support a wide variety of siding, from bricks to stucco, and can even be designed to have a traditional tile roof. So, if you’re in an area with strict aesthetic standards, chances are a metal building can blend right in with its surroundings while reaping the benefits of the added strength.
At Great Western, we aim to provide customers with a metal building custom-suited to their location and needs. Our team of expert designers has intimate knowledge of International Building Code (IBC) requirements and decades of experience designing buildings for virtually every climate, including structures that can withstand seismic activity in California. Our ultimate goal is to provide our customers with their perfect building and design it to last a lifetime. We don’t take that goal lightly, either. We back every building we sell with a lifetime structural warranty.
We understand your time is valuable, and you don’t want to waste any time on the job site.
