PORTABLE STEEL BUILDINGS

Steel is one of the most preferred and strongest metals available on Earth, its strength, flexibility, long lasting nature has made it one of the primary materials used in the construction and building industry for all types of structures. Such is the belief of construction and civil engineers in its strength that whole buildings are made just out of steel and portable steel buildings are a fine example of such an endeavor. Portable steel buildings are basically factory assembled structures where all the parts of the structures from the roof to the piping is made out of high-quality galvanized steel, and transported in its complete form to its actual site.

The portable building is constructed based on the customizations and specifications of the purchaser, from the colors to the type of glass and the electrical fittings all are decided by the purchaser which is done made in the controlled environment of a factory and then shipped to the actual site of construction. Now assembling the various parts can be done through the time tested method of welding on the site which produces the most durable and long lasting structure. This method is labor intensive compared to mechanical fasteners and more expensive than less durable materials such as wood or aluminum but it has a longer life cycle and the ability to stand the test of time, weather and relocation.


The portable steel buildings are usually used for structures which are smaller in size and that’s the reason they are often referred to as “booths” or “guardhouses”. They were initially and usually used as guardhouses, tolling booths, parking lot booths, security guard offices, office in a plant or factory, campus visitor information booth, receptionist booth, Box Offices and many other such uses. Portable steel buildings are a very affordable, strong, easily movable and long lasting solution for such purposes.
