How to achieve higher ROI on construction projects

1. Lower your initial construction costs

Because metal building projects include pre-engineered components, you’ll save on labor costs and waste disposal. It will also accelerate the timeline to completion, leading to overall project savings. 

2. Use energy efficiency to drive savings

Heating and cooling large buildings can really eat into your yearly budget. Today’s metal buildings can be designed for energy efficiency – including special coatings that reflect the sun in the summer, and proper insulation technique to retain heat in the winter. 

3. Reduce ongoing maintenance costs

Metal buildings are known for their durability and longevity, which can reduce the need for repairs after harsh storms. Metal buildings are naturally pest and fire resistant, offering additional reductions in pest destruction and fire vulnerabilities. 

4. Invest in flexibility

Your business may change over the years. Starting with a metal building that is flexible will offer future savings if you choose to expand or reconfigure. 

How do metal buildings deliver long-term ROI?

• 10–30% lower initial construction costs. Prefabricated metal components streamline construction, helping metal buildings achieve 10–30% lower upfront costs compared to traditional wood-built structures. This reduces some project expenses such as labor and waste disposal.
• Up to 25% faster build timelines. By using prefabricated components, the building can be constructed much faster, allowing for quicker occupancy and use
• 20–40% lower maintenance costs. Metal buildings have durable strength and resilience in harsh weather such as snow storms, heavy rain, and even earthquakes. They are also pest resistant and fire resistant.
• 15–35% energy savings. With proper insulation techniques in the thick cavities of the metal material, tight sealing, and external reflective solar coatings, metal buildings can improve your energy savings over time.
• 50+ year structural lifespan. Metal buildings are one of the most durable options, holding up to extreme weather, and more resistant to rot and pests than their wooden counterparts. This means you’ll get more use out of your initial investment.
• Easier expansions or reconfigurations. Because metal buildings can support larger spaces without traditional columns, it’s easier to reconfigure internal layouts. Metal buildings are more “modular” than traditional wood buildings, allowing you to add on at a more cost effective rate.
