Framing Systems

When you need a custom metal building with an interior that is free of obstrucons, the clear span frame is the obvious choice. Since it is free of interior support columns, the building is wide open to your specific floor plan. Clear span buildings are ideal for end uses such as hangars, agricultural buildings, commercial, and warehouse buildings.

TrussFrame, which is exclusive to Nucor Builders, is a hybrid open-web rigid frame system that is appropriate for clear span situaons where building widths are 250′ or more. Aside from requiring less steel, TrussFrame allows HVAC, wiring, and sprinkler systems to be incorporated into the trusses.

Many steel buildings require crane systems for the lifting and moving of heavy or large objects. Buildings by Kalex Steel Buildings can easily be adapted for the support of most crane systems. Your crane building can often be designed with fewer independent crane columns, reducing costs.

When constructing a custom metal building for uses such as offices, mini storage, retail centers, and hay shelters, the single slope is a common option. Single slope, by definion, means each sidewall has a different eave height, causing the roof to slope in one direcon.
