FAQ

Common Questions

What is a tubular steel building?

A tubular steel building uses round or square hollow steel tubing for its frame instead of solid wood posts or heavy red-iron beams. It's a lightweight, affordable framing method common in carports, RV covers, garages, and agricultural shelters.

How is tubular steel different from red iron buildings?

Red iron buildings use heavier I-beam and rigid-frame construction typically seen in large commercial and industrial buildings. Tubular steel uses lighter round or square tubing, making it faster to install and more affordable for residential, recreational, and agricultural projects.

Can I customize my building?

Yes. Tubular steel framing is highly flexible — we can engineer your plans around custom widths, lengths, roof pitches, enclosed sides, and lean-tos.

Do you provide engineer stamps?

Yes. Every plan set is reviewed and sealed by a licensed PE in the jurisdiction where your building will be permitted.

Can you design for my local building code?

Yes. We route your project to a PE licensed in your state, who applies the wind, snow, and seismic requirements specific to your jurisdiction.

Do you design foundations?

Yes. Every tubular steel plan set includes foundation and footing details sized to your soil conditions and tube embedment depth.

Can I use my own dimensions?

Yes. Send us your building's length, width, height, and tube sizes and we'll build the structural plan set around your exact dimensions.

How long does engineering take?

Turnaround depends on jurisdiction and project complexity, but you'll receive a firm timeline with your quote.
