General information. Every project is different, so call us about yours.
Small fabrication, repair and storage businesses often use steel buildings because they can offer wide open floor space. The right design depends on your use and your lot. We can talk through it in general terms.[2]
RBC offers turnkey construction from the skeleton to an insulated, wired and plumbed building. Commercial turnkey work carries a workmanship warranty. Call us for the details of your project.[2]
Metal roofing is used on many older commercial buildings as a replacement. Whether it works depends on the structure underneath, so a site look is wise. Ask us about trim and materials too.[2]
Start with the city's permitting office, since it knows your parcel. Then bring your questions to us and we can talk about design in general terms.[2]
