Metal Building Certification

What Are Certified Metal Buildings?

Certified metal buildings are structures that are engineered to withstand the wind, snow, and seismic forces in your region. They’re carefully constructed to handle local weather conditions and keep your things safe, dry, and protected year-round.

When you choose a certified metal building from Probuilt Steel Buildings, you're investing in a structure that's built to last and is fully compliant with local building codes. Each building goes through a thorough engineering and quality control process and is built with your region’s climate in mind.

What is a Non-Certified Metal Building?

As you can imagine, a non-certified metal building is a structure that is not tested against the regional climate where you live. These buildings may be suitable for certain applications, like temporary storage or areas with mild weather conditions, but they are not built to meet regional safety codes or withstand extreme weather.

While non-certified buildings can be a budget-friendly option, they’re not guaranteed the strength and reliability certified buildings provide.

Comparison Between Certified and Non-Certified Metal Buildings

When comparing certified and non-certified metal buildings, the differences can be significant. Certified buildings are engineered to rigorous standards and meet local codes, while non-certified structures are basically a cookie-cutter design with no structural testing.

Let’s break down the biggest differences between the two:

Certified Metal Building Standards

Unlike other building materials, there’s no universally accepted standard for metal building certification. Each manufacturer sets its own standards based on local building codes and the average wind speeds and snow accumulation in your area. For example, a structure built for Montana's climate might be engineered differently than one in Florida or vice versa.

Luckily, Probuilt Steel Buildings certifies our structures to withstand the climate in every part of our service area. Whether you live in a mild climate or on the cutting edge of Mother Nature’s fury, our building experts are familiar with the weather in your region and can recommend a design that works well for you.

The Importance of Engineering Plans

Engineering plans are essential for any certified metal building, and at Probuilt Steel Buildings, we make these plans accessible to you. Need a copy of the engineering plans for your building? We can provide those, including stamped or raised-seal plans, if your local building inspector requires them (available at an additional charge).

Our specialists are here to answer any questions you have about building plans and certification and make the process seamless and hassle-free the entire way.
