Speaking strictly in general terms, a steel building project can proceed in several ways. Here are three rather common ways that projects tend to go. First, the building itself can be directly purchased with pre-engineered steel construction. A local General Contractor, or a contract manufacturer, or a dealer for a steel building manufacturer, contracts a deal directly with you, the buyer. This may or may not require the use of an architect as most general contractors and contract manufacturers have enough design resources “in house” to help with renderings and final design specifics. A second way a building project could develop would be the “design-build” option. The “design-build” option is where the structure is designed and then erected by a consortium of designers and builders. A third choice in developing your building could be the “conventional delivery.” The “conventional delivery” method involves the use of an outside architect followed by the selection of a General Contractor through the negotiations. This is a common practice for those projects requiring a public bidding process.
