What is a pre-engineered metal building?

Let’s start with what a pre-engineered metal building is. It’s a structure created by a manufacturer and constructed with a previously agreed upon inventory of materials and fabrications. While they differ from conventional buildings in many ways, they still provide custom-built features and unique architectural designs, but in less time, and at a better price point, than a typical conventional built facility. Single Source Systems builds PEMBs for commercial markets including manufacturing, industrial, fitness centers, gyms, warehouses, hangars, agriculture and many others.
