Steel Buildings For Church Building Construction

Advanced pre-engineered steel building technology helps when churches need to build.

There comes a time in every successful ministry when the congregation has grown and the church recognizes a need to expand and build to accommodate the growing congregation.

When faced with the need to spend their congregation’s money well, to keep design and construction costs within budget and maintenance costs low, many churches look to pre-engineered steel buildings as an attractive alternative to more conventional stone, brick or wood construction, favoring the clean lines of pre-engineered steel buildings.

The advanced technology of pre-engineered steel buildings allows for soaring, spiritually uplifting spaces with high ceilings, post free and visually unobstructed interiors. Pre engineered steel buildings and metal building systems technology helps congregations see their church building projects reach fruition in a matter of months, not decades. And with the many advantages and cost savings offered by pre-engineered steel building technology, many congregations are now able to realize church building projects that would have been impossible only a few years ago.

Olympia Steel Buildings Are Quality Certified

Steel Built Corp. is proud to meet all requirements of the CSA-A660 Quality Certification for Steel Building Systems.

CSA-A660 Certification assures any Canadian purchaser that Olympia steel buildings are quality certified and are manufactured to adhere to the standards of the CSSBI: Canadian Sheet Steel Building Institute. Not all steel building system companies are able to meet the high standards of quality set by Canada's CSA-A660 and the CSSBI. Buyer Beware: there are steel building system manufacturing competitors selling steel buildings in Canada that DO NOT have CSA-A660 Quality Certification.

What is CSA-A660 Certification and what does it mean for you? The CSA-A660 Standard was developed to assist code enforcement officials in reviewing building permit submissions incorporating steel buildings and metal building systems and to help purchasers receive a quality certified building. As part of the CSA-A660 compliance, the building manufacturer will provide a "Certificate of Design and Manufacturing Conformance" signed and sealed by a licensed Professional Engineer for each steel building project.

Olympia Steel Buildings Factory, Steel Built Corp. Is CSA-A660 Certified

WARNING

Several U.S. companies have misled customers by telling them that they buy their steel buildings from U.S. metal building suppliers that are CAN/CSA A660 certified.

These companies have given names of U.S. steel building suppliers that indeed do have some manufacturing facilities that are certified. However, when the metal building is actually ordered it comes from a factory not on the list provided by the Canadian Welding Bureau, Quasar certification division.

BEFORE YOU BUY A STEEL BUILDING GET CONFIRMATION ON THE FACTORY OF ORIGIN (ADDRESS) AND GET A COPY OF THAT FACTORY'S CERTIFICATE

It is mandatory that U.S. manufacturers selling steel buildings into Canada have this certification. Olympia Steel 's factory, Steel Built Corp., has invested time and money to ensure that we meet all Canadian standards when it comes to our steel buildings.

All buildings bought out of the U.S. should have a factory of origin written on all purchased contracts along with a copy of their A660 certificate for that factory. You may experience problems getting permits for your metal buildings from factories that are not A660 certified.
