Commercial steel buildings are a cost-effective alternative to traditional stud frame buildings. They are built quickly without compromising quality. Our structures are built using the best materials on the market, which guarantees long-term durability and reduced overall maintenance costs.
Pole structures eliminate the need for interior support columns. The absence of interior columns maximizes the amount of usable space. This feature is beneficial for commercial buildings because it allows extreme flexibility in floor plan design, and caters to a wide range of layout preferences. To better plan for and visualize your commercial pole building before starting construction, our team of full-service commercial metal building contractors create robust 3D video designs of your build. We specialize in intriguing custom designs and trustworthy workmanship. Get started on your commercial metal building project with a 3D visual that shows you what’s possible.

It is good to review the Q&A for GOVERNMENTAL above, but there may be some differences in the commercial world, often simply because the funds used to build the project are private funds and not governmental funds. For most projects, we advise to work directly with the GC (General Contractor) and let the GC hire/direct the architect. One could argue that this makes the GC a CM (construction manager) but for simplicity the GC can remain a GC and simply work under a lump sum contract, in most cases.
This will depend highly on a few factors, including but not limited to: Wind Exposure, applicable codes, what will be stored inside the building, overall square footage of the building. Typically post frame can be used up to 20’ tall without any problems. Up to 26’ is often feasible but more complications can arise. If there will be combustible materials stored, more restrictions could arise and PMEB (pre-engineered metal buildings a.k.a. “steel-frame”) may be a better option.
No one rule will apply here, but in general, post frame will often be more economically friendly up to either 20’ tall, 80’ wide, or roughly 20k square feet especially if there is not huge fire, wind or snow exposure and/or building occupancy (number of people that will commonly be inside the building). Steel frame will be much more flexible for larger structures and/or structures that have large number of occupants and/or codes to comply with.
