CUSTOMIZE YOUR BUILDING

Design it your way!

Every Buck Steel building is customized for you: doors and windows where you want them, insulation and ventilation options to ensure comfort, canopies and decorative elements to add to the appearance. You don't get a fixed catalog package, you get a building designed for look and functionality you want.

Doors

Rollup, sectional, overhead, sliding, rolling and personnel doors. Specify location by wall and bay or request them to be field located.

Windows

Natural daylight for offices, warehouses, hangars, or arenas. Specify size, placement, and quantity per elevation.

Vents & Louvers

Ridge vents, gable vents, wall louvers, and powered exhaust options. Engineered for Colorado climate airflow.

Insulation

Roof and wall insulation packages for climate control, condensation prevention, and energy efficiency from R-13 to R-48.

Skylights & LTPs

Continuous wall light transmitting panels (LTPs) and skylight options. Free natural light reduces your operating costs.

Trim, Wainscoting & Colors

Eave, rake, corner, and base trim. Optional wainscoting in contrasting color. Wide color palette across roof, walls, and trim.

Most customers spec their accessories with their dedicated project manager during the quote call. You can also buy framed openings only and source local doors and windows if you have a preferred supplier.

COMMERCIAL BUYER QUESTIONS

Real questions from real Buck Steel buyers

Will Buck Steel provide the engineering for my Colorado building?

Yes. Stamped engineered building plans and a Letter of Certification are included with every Buck Steel building, generally provided within 3-5 weeks of order. Stamped engineered foundation plans are also available. The engineers working on your building are licensed in your state.

Will my building meet my local Colorado building codes?

Yes. Buck Steel has been serving Colorado customers for 20 Years and your Buck Steel building will meet or exceed all local code requirements including up to 100+ psf snow loads, 180 mph wind loads as well as seismic loads. Codes and loads vary by county, so you'll want to verify the quoted codes & loads with your local building department before ordering your building.

Does Buck Steel offer turnkey installation services?

No. Buck Steel is not a General Contractor and generally does not get involved with anything at the jobsite (including site prep, concrete, plumbing, electric, interior buildout). Depending on the project's size and location, Buck Steel might be able to assist in finding a qualified erecting crew to assist with bolting your building kit together.

How long from quote to delivered building?

Production orders typically ship in 8-10 weeks with building plans completed in 3-5 weeks. Once your kit is delivered to your jobsite, a typical 40×60 building can be erected by an experienced crew in as little as 7 days.

What kind of commercial steel buildings does Buck Steel sell?

Only commercial-grade, pre-engineered, I-beam style metal buildings. Mainframes are 1/4″ thick plate steel welded into I-beams, with heavy-duty 26GA or 24GA roof and wall panels. Buck Steel does not sell tube steel, cold-form, or wood-framed buildings.

Are I-beam steel buildings the same as red-iron steel buildings?

Yes. I-beam buildings are often called “red-iron” because of the red primer used to coat the primary I-beams and secondary purlins & girts at the factory. Frames with galvanized secondary framing typically use grey primer. Some customers paint the frames white during erecting.

Does Buck Steel offer “cancelled order” deep-discount specials?

No. In 20 years in business, Buck Steel has had only two legitimate cancelled orders. The “cancelled order” pitch is used by telemarketers and high-pressure sales hustlers to pressure you into a quick buy. If a “cancelled order” can’t be loaded on a truck and rolling to your jobsite within 24 hours, it probably doesn’t exist.
