Metal Building Kits: Metal Frame Buildings & Clear Span Metal Buildings

Metal Frame Buildings and Clear Span Metal Buildings

Steel and metal frame buildings and clear span buildings have a multitude of benefits. Not only are they cost effective and easy to assemble, but they are also fire resistant, corrosion and rust resistant, and termite proof. With our building kits, you can customize your building to fit your project’s unique needs and specifications. With countless options available, Universal Steel of America can design the perfect building type for any project, big or small. Clear span and steel frame building systems are designed to distribute stresses evenly throughout the frame. Whether you’re building a steel barn, storage building, boat or RV storage, or a steel frame house kit, our building kits can provide you with the high-quality, durable materials your building needs to endure the elements. Our custom metal building kits arrive in pre-cut, ready-to-assemble packages and can accommodate every need, from commercial to residential.

Universal Steel of America can design and price your clear span or metal frame building system to increments of the nearest 1/16 of an inch and to comply with most common building codes.
