Steel Building Components: A Step-by-Step Guide

Standard prefabricated steel buildings are a mixture of components manufactured and constructed at a steel fabrication company and forwarded to the job site for assembly. Each steel building component is designed by an in-house team person who is an engineer and will be pre-cut, pre-weld, and pre-drilled, which provides easy assembly.

Primary Framing: Primary framing is your structure's central core. The primary framing of a steel building will be made up of various components, which can be custom-made to fit your budget and the requirements of your structure.

• Rigid Frames
• Beams and Columns
• Rafters
• Trusses and Girders
• Lean-to/Single Slope

 

Secondary Framing: All kinds of secondary framing components are manufactured and designed in accordance with your building's size, application, and load requirements. Every secondary framing element is needed for structural stability that allows load transfer to the main frame. 

Pre-welded clips help in attaching your secondary framing easily.

• Cold-Formed Steel

• Girts and Purlins

• Wall and Roof Braces

• Eave Struts

• Headers and Jambs

 

Fasteners: The approved fasteners are required to assemble your primary and secondary structural elements to ensure they provide the highest level of quality and density. The fasteners that are used for the majority of steel structures are:

• Bolts (anchor bolts, U-bolts, & more)

• Construction screws

• Inserts

• Weld studs

• Threaded studs

 

If you use prefabricated structural steel components to construct your building, you are constructing something that will hold the components and remain powerful. Quality structural steel will help in protecting your building from the following:

• Fire damage

• Wind and weather

• Mold and mildew

• Corrosion

• Pests and vermin

• Wear and tear
