What information do you need to price and engineer a steel building for my site (zip code, openings, finished space, code loads)?
To quote and engineer a red iron steel building kit we need your zip code to verify snow and wind loads, building width-length-height, roof pitch, framed openings (doors, windows, docks), percentage of finished or climate-controlled space, and any county-specific code loads or special options such as mezzanines or insulation.
Red iron steel mini storage building kits, climate-controlled storage building kits, RV and boat storage steel buildings, and 100×200 warehouse steel building projects all start with the same checklist.
First, tell us the job-site zip code. We pull the county-specific wind, snow, and seismic loads so your stamped building and foundation plans sail through permitting.
Next, define the shell: width, length, clear height, and roof pitch for metal buildings. Then mark every framed opening—roll-up doors, personnel doors, dock bays, or hangar doors—as well as window, ridge-vent, and louver locations.
Need a self-storage unit mix? Provide quantities for 10×10, 10×20, or the 30×100 mini storage building row you have in mind. If part of the building will be finished or climate-controlled, note the insulation R-values and interior liner panel areas.
Finally, list any special code loads or owner preferences: storm-resistant upgrades for coastal sites, snow-drift zones, or energy-code packages. With this data, our IAS-accredited steel manufacturers produce a 100 % steel, bolt-up kit engineered just for you—whether it’s a 100×120 aircraft hangar, 80×120 commercial steel warehouse, or 200×300 distribution center building.
