Why Butler New Construction
Why Contractors and Building Owners Choose Butler for New Construction
Up to 50% Faster Construction Timelines
Butler pre-engineered metal building systems can accelerate construction timelines by up to 50% through factory-precise components and streamlined assembly. All of Butler’s secondary framing components are factory punched with holes precisely located for fast and accurate installation at the job site. The mainframes are prime painted gray and all exposed secondary framings are acrylic-coated galvanized steel ready for finish paint if that is the desired look. Faster construction means earlier occupancy, reduced interim financing costs and faster return on your building investment.
Cost Effective Engineering and Material Optimization
A Butler pre-engineered structure is designed with cutting-edge technology and engineering principles to optimize the steel required for your building. A pre-engineered structure will require far less steel than conventional steel structures saving you money. The precision-engineered structural steel is designed with advanced computer modeling for faster assembly when the building arrives at the job site reducing construction time and cost.
Precision Factory Fabricated Components
Precisely cut and factory pre-punched components ensure exact fit and alignment accelerating assembly while minimizing costly field modifications. Every structural member, roof panel, wall panel and accessory component is manufactured to Butler’s exacting tolerances in a controlled factory environment and arrives at your jobsite ready to assemble without field cutting, field drilling or field modification that adds cost and time to conventional construction projects.
Virtually Unlimited Design Flexibility
A Butler building system offers virtually unlimited flexibility with regard to your building design from distinctive exterior aesthetic options to functional interior configurations. Rigid frame design facilitates virtually any building size and shape. In addition to Butler’s selection of metal wall panel systems finishes such as stucco, masonry, composite siding materials and glass can be utilized to achieve virtually any design approach.
Integrated Structural and Crane Solutions
Widespan and Landmark structural systems create large areas of uninterrupted space to maximize productivity. Integrate overhead lifting solutions such as bridge cranes, jib cranes or process equipment into the steel design of your building. Butler new construction is the preferred structural solution for manufacturing facilities, distribution centers and industrial operations where overhead crane systems and large unobstructed clear spans are essential to facility productivity.
