Building Dreams: Newman Leech's Visionary Approach to Real Estate Investment
The Benefits of Steel Buildings Vs. The Standard
1. The benefits of a steel building over traditional
construction.
2. Big Savings Over Traditional Construction in
the Long Term
Steel does cost more up front than wood does.
However, over the life of the building you will save
thousands of dollars because:
Insurance is cheaper
Immune to termites, mold, drying out or rotting
Construction is faster
Warranties guarantee the integrity of the structure up to
40 years after initial construction
In some cases property insurance can be as much as 30%
cheaper than wood framed construction
3. Environmentally Friendly
Steel is the most recycled material in the world. Most
manufacturers use recycled steel in all of their steel
building materials
In fact, there is more recycled steel every year than
paper, glass, aluminum, or plastic combined
4. Longer Lasting & Easier to Maintain
The steel in a quality building kit comes with a lifetime
warranty.
As seen with major buildings in large city centers,
most, if not all, are steel because of their easy
maintenance, few repairs, and durability when it
comes to withstanding decades of use and exposure to
the elements.
