Prefab Metal Buildings Ugly Duckling No More.
By Lawrence Smith
When most of us think of steel or metal prefab buildings, does the vision of a rusty, unimaginative square box building come to mind? Today, church sanctuaries are being re-engineered and redesigned into beautiful metal church buildings. From Octagon shaped sanctuaries to large auditoriums, there's nothing that can't be made beautiful using any architectural design and material from prefab metal buildings.
In the past, choosing prefab metal buildings was based upon cost, sacrificing attractiveness. Today, a church can save as much as 30% to 50% over conventional construction and chose from a multitude of exterior and interior finishes. Other advantages are fast erection, a safer and stronger weather tested steel building, rust-resistant color panels and insulation products designed to easily work with prefab metal buildings. In addition, in case of fire, a prefab metal building, using wood purlins and girts, can reduce fire damage and save the overall building structure. Companies like Perka Building Frames offers this hybrid design of steel and wood and have been building steel buildings this way for over 23 years. Perka has another interesting product but it comes from their sister company P2000 Insulation, this revolutionary product offers considerable energy and cost savings over other insulation products and is the greenest, planet friendly insulation solution available on the market today.
With more and more churches being built as multi-purpose buildings, equipped to serve as places of worship, office space, and recreational gymnasiums. Prefab metal buildings offer erection and cost advantages and there are church designers and consultants that will put together feasibility studies, architectural designs, and other pre-construction steps to build a church.
In a special case, for the congregations that want to save even further and have a part in building their own church, prefab metal buildings can be put together with only a general construction background.
Most manufacturers of prefab metal buildings, like Perka Building Frames, support the do-it-yourselfer with assembly guides and active builder support. Perka's Director of Marketing, Ken Blair, states: "Consider having your church providing some of the labor- we can fill in the gaps with our local network of contractors who build churches or we can help you do the whole project yourselves. This normally will save 20 to 30 percent of the project costs."
