How to Keep Your Construction Project Moving Through the Winter
It’s no secret how tough New England winters can be. Below-zero temperatures, nor’easter snowstorms, ice, freezing rain – and that’s the good days. If you run a business, institution, or organization that can’t afford to stand still and wait for better weather, a pre-fabricated metal building may be just the secret weapon you need to defeat Old Man Winter.
At D.R. Poulin Construction we specialize in engineered steel buildings. In fact, we’re the area’s only authorized Kirby Building Systems dealer. These high-quality, state-of-the-art metal buildings are engineered and manufactured inside a climate-controlled environment, protected from any adverse weather conditions outside. That means your building can be worked on throughout the winter months, regardless of the weather, so that when spring arrives it’s ready to be quickly erected on-site
Speaking of on-site, work can still go on during the winter months, if your contractor is experienced and prepared to work in cold weather. For example, concrete for footings, slabs, and foundations can be poured and cured if the right additives are included to aid curing and prevent it from freezing. In fact, working on-site during the winter can help ensure that the site is maintained and functioning so that when the weather becomes more conducive to begin the building installation, it doesn’t require a lot of time-consuming work to open the site up and prepare it to receive workers and materials. Our highly-experienced construction crews are used to working year-round and are ready to tackle any construction project at any time.
The winter months are also a good time to work with your architect and contractor to plan the customization of the interior and exterior of your manufactured building. Pre-fabricated metal buildings can help you reduce the cost of time-consuming, traditional, custom-built construction. We can easily combine wood, brick, glass, stone masonry and other materials to customize the interior and exterior, creating a unique, cost-efficient building that perfectly fits your specific needs. By doing all the material selection and drawings over the winter, we’re ready to go come springtime.
Why let winter slow down your plans? At D.R. Poulin, we’re ready to get to work. Contact us today to learn how a pre-engineered steel building from Kirby and D.R. Poulin can have you up and running in no time.
