Metal buildings
Benchmark works relentlessly to match their products to the needs and budget of the customer. After erecting well over 20 million square feet of buildings, we have developed processes that achieve best value for each of our customers. Focusing on both, pre -engineered bolts ups and fabricated on-site buildings, provides us the ability to accommodate all ranges of metal building products.
-
A bolt-up metal building is a type of pre-engineered steel building that is fabricated in a warehouse and assembled on site, using bolts rather than field welding resulting in long lead times and logistical coordination.
Material Lead Times: 12-20 Weeks post approval
Engineered? YES - Stamped by a licensed Professional engineer
Limited Flexibility: Changes and additions can be time consuming and difficult to pass through building designer
Ideal Use: Structures requiring 70’+ wide clear spans
-
A PEMB weld-up structure is a pre-engineered metal building in which the primary steel connections are typially cut to length in the field using fully welded connections in place of bolts. 3rd party weld-inspections are used to ensure structural integrity, and the exterior final product is indistinguishable from a traditional PEMB bolt-up structure.
Material Lead Times: 2-4 weeks post approval. Up to 75% faster when compared to Bolt-Up structures
Engineered? YES - Stamped by licensed Professional Engineer
-
Bolt-Up:
Pros: Large clear span capabilities
Cons: Costly, longer lead times and difficult trouble shooting
Best Application: Structures designed to have a 70’ clear span or larger
Weld-Up:
Pro’s” Cost effective, up to 75% less lead times and quicker occupancy
Cons: Limited clear span capabilities
Best Application: Structures designed for less than a 70’ clear span
