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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Buy American Act?
The Buy American Act dictates that Federal agencies must procure products and materials domestically within the United States. All Great Western Buildings are built in Grand Junction, Colorado, using American steel, so they are within the restrictions of The Buy American Act. Buying from Great Western means supporting American domestic manufacturing, jobs, and the economy.
Can Great Western meet the requirements of government contracts?

We are a small municipality in need of a steel building. How can Great Western help?
Our team has extensive experience working with small towns and counties. We have provided them with storage buildings, shop space, and municipal maintenance buildings. Please contact our team with your specific needs for your town or county, and we will design your ideal metal building and provide a free quote.
How can we install drywall or another type of finish on the interior of our steel building?
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.
