The sustainability of today’s building structures along with their environmental impact are both important factors to consumers, owners, and operators considering their next building project. Sustainable building design (or whole building design) is key when considering the approach, materials and impact of the building on the surrounding ecology. Sustainable design seeks to reduce negative impacts on the environment, and the health and comfort of building occupants, thereby improving building performance. The basic objectives of sustainability are to reduce consumption of non-renewable resources, minimize waste, and create healthy, productive environments. When thinking about sustainable design there are a number of reasons you should consider steel (and more specifically General Steel Corporation) for your next project. General Steel is a recognized steel building industry leader and a company that will be there when you need them.
Not too many years ago metal buildings were largely utilitarian structures used for farming and ranching. In Colorado, you might see examples off of I-70 near Burlington or Dacono if you were on Interstate 25. They were reliable structures, durable buildings, but not very attractive.
Times have changed and today’s pre-engineered steel buildings offer so much more both in appearance and function. General Steel Corporation (a Colorado-based national steel building supplier) continues to offer agricultural buildings, but the company has a variety of structural offerings nationally, including steel churches, schools, sports arenas and many other building types. These buildings are faced with a variety of materials including glass, brick and stone. In fact, you probably look at pre-engineered steel buildings everyday without realizing they are pre-engineered steel.
Self-storage units supplied by General Steel Corporation are the storage space solution for many owners, operators and entrepreneurs in the self-storage industry. The self-storage industry can be a very lucrative business opportunity with total sales nationally in excess of 20 billion dollars in 2008.

Numerous shop owners understand the value of joining the style of commercial shopping center that has a common sidewalk and awning. Typically, that type of construction is known as a “strip mall” and owners and operators look to General Steel Corporation when developing retail malls in their community. Some sections of the United States are seeing almost explosive booms in the development of strip malls. General Steel is a leading recognized brand in the steel building industry and one of the largest pre-engineered steel building suppliers in the nation. General Steel buildings can provide a perfect low-maintenance solution for strip mall construction.
Even in this difficult economy, many churches are feeling the demands of a growing congregation. This presents a serious challenge for Pastors and church leadership. On one hand a growing congregation means the church will need to expand and perhaps build new facilities in order to accommodate the needs of its members. On the other hand, contributions from membership may be down due to unemployment, pay cuts and the pressures of the economy.
Now more than ever, growing churches need the help of General Steel Corporation to provide the building they need at a price that fits the budget. Timing is also an issue, as many churches have put off building and are now reaching a critical point where something must be done quickly. General Steel pre-engineered steel buildings not only save you as much as half the cost of a similar conventionally built shell structure, but the construction time can be cut by as much as half thanks to the quality pre-engineering that is manufactured in a controlled environment.
Many church leaders are concerned with value, appearance and functionality when they consider a new building. As they approach their congregation for additional contributions to the construction fund in these difficult economic times, they understand the importance of being good stewards over church finances. At the same time, this may be the first project of this scope and expense that these church leaders have experienced. These issues and more are why thousands of churches have contacted The General for assistance with their building needs.
General Steel offers a variety of pre-construction services that assist churches in identifying the related costs and the scope of their total project so they can make informed decisions, complete budgeting and secure approvals. We want you to get it right the first time. Packages include 3-D renderings of the project helping the congregation visualize the final outcome of their sacrifice and helping church leaders secure preliminary approvals.

Is it time to take action?
If you’re like most business owners, the past 12 months have been difficult on a number of levels. You have put off building and expanding your otherwise successful business because you just didn’t know what lies ahead. Staying in this wait and see mode is stressful and probably out of character for most people who own successful businesses.
You might ask the question; “If you’re doing one aren’t you doing the other?”
Not really; you see people shopping for a steel building may believe that all companies are the same and that what they want is a building at the cheapest price. There is also the belief that since all steel building companies are the same and all buildings are the same, the cheapest price translates into a “bargain”. Perhaps they actually got a company to sell a building below or near their cost.
Today’s economy is a challenge for all businesses. We are seeing weaknesses in business sectors that haven’t been experienced to this degree in decades. For many businesses, this will be a challenge and for some this may mean the end. The steel building industry is no different.
The Vision
It’s always interesting to share the customer’s vision for their new building project. Because a new building is one of the most important investments a business owner or individual will make, there is usually a great deal of passion for the project.
General Steel has worked with the typical projects like retail buildings, offices, church buildings, schools, manufacturing, warehousing, airplane hangars, etc. Then there are the more unusual projects like the indoor dog park, casino, carousal museum, or airplane museum. The General may be called into service in places like Iraq or Afghanistan. But, as unusual as the project may be, each project has one common thread; the absolute need for quality that will last for years from the company that will be there to provide service.
