Wood Framed vs. Hybrid Steel Framed:
Wood- Traditional framed, trusses and posts are constructed with treated lumber, lower cost
Hybrid- Trusses and posts are steel-constructed, stronger, and higher cost vs. wood
Metal Panels:
29 gauge and 26 gauge are available. 26 gauge will be thicker steel (approx. 25% thicker) this is usually used for residential buildings or high-end Ag buildings. 29 gauge generally is all that is needed for a typical Ag building and will reduce your cost more than if the 26 gauge is used.
Doors:
Overhead doors, Sliding doors, Entry doors (typically 3') Also insulated or non-insulated.
Windows:
Sizes and number of windows, standard bid with 3'x3' sliders, and any special requirements you would like. Ex. White, Tan, Casement, Single hung, Sliders...
Insulation:
*Astro-foil insulation gives a R-7 insulation value. This helps control condensation, has a Class A fire rating, and reflects radiant heat.
* 2" vinyl-backed insulation is also available. It has an R-11 insulation value. This will cost a little more but will reduce energy costs, help control condensation and improve noise control.
Concrete:
Typically we pour a 4" thick concrete slab for the building pad, however, if there will be heavy equipment going on it, it is preferred to use a 5-6" thick slab.
