Your approved design moves to structural engineering, where it gets checked against the actual codes and load requirements for your location. Snow load in Montana and wind load on the Gulf Coast aren’t the same problem, and your building shouldn’t be engineered like they are.

Because AM Star is an authorized Butler distributor, your engineering isn’t a one-off calculation. It’s built on structural standards Butler has manufactured to for more than 125 years, across thousands of buildings in every climate this country has.

Every calculation is reviewed by licensed structural engineers against your local code before drawings are finalized. Nothing moves to fabrication until the engineering holds up.

A permit office won’t approve a building that isn’t engineered to local code, and a building that isn’t engineered for your actual wind and snow loads is a liability, not an asset. This phase is what makes your permit process fast instead of a back and forth with the building department.

We’re an authorized Butler distributor, not a broker reselling generic steel kits under a similar name. Your structural calculations are reviewed by licensed engineers and built on standards Butler has manufactured to for more than 125 years, with one point of contact from design through permitting instead of getting passed between a sales rep and an engineering firm who’ve never spoken to each other.
