A steel building in South Florida faces different weather than one in Colorado or Minnesota. That's why the same size building can be designed very differently depending on where it's going. Here's what that means for you.

What Your Location Changes

• Wind. Coastal and hurricane-prone areas need buildings designed to handle stronger winds.
• Snow. In colder regions, the roof and frame must carry the weight of heavy snow.
• Earthquakes. Some areas have extra requirements for ground movement.
• Local codes. Your state, county, or city may add rules of its own.
Why It Matters to You
• Safety. A building designed for your conditions protects the people and things inside it.
• Permits. Most areas require a building permit, and your building has to meet local code to get one.
• Insurance and resale. A building that meets code is easier to insure and adds more value to your property.

How Duro Beam Handles It
Every Duro Beam building is engineered to meet the requirements of the state and area it's being delivered to. When you request pricing, your location is one of the first things we ask for. It shapes the design of your frame, roof, and walls before anything is made.

Easy to Build on Site

Your building arrives pre-cut, pre-punched, and pre-drilled, ready to bolt together. The engineering is done before it ships.

Wherever you're building, request pricing and tell us your location. We'll make sure your building is designed for it.
