Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings - Solid Foundations

Regardless of the type of foundation used for pre-engineered steel buildings and their specific configuration, the outline of the metal buildings foundation should be carefully and accurately laid out before any excavation is made. This will ensure accurate placement of corner measures and in turn ensure a square metal building foundation. Tip: For the greatest accuracy, measure the diagonal and adjust the string lines until the two diagonal dimensions are equal. If the diagonal lengths are equal, the framing will be square. Note: Steel building erection should never be started on green foundation concrete. Allow the foundation concrete to “cure” completely before beginning building erection.
