Certified & Uncertified Metal Buildings

If you hear your building specialist mention the words “certified” or “uncertified”, you may be wondering what that means. And despite sounding complicated, it’s quite simple. Certified steel buildings are specifically designed and engineered to meet local wind and snow load ratings as well as all other building codes.

Uncertified steel buildings are the exact opposite, they do aren’t required to meet certain codes or ratings. There are some areas that due to their weather conditions, they require you to certify your structure, but we highly recommend it no matter what. By certifying your unit, you’re guaranteeing its overall durability and longevity. If you would like to know more about how to certify your prefab steel building, just give us a call today at (888) 384-3936 and our building specialists will be more than happy to assist you.
