Brief History of Steel Buildings
A “Metal Building System” is an industry term for buildings whose main components (walls, roof,framing, and bracing) are all made of metal. They are specially engineered to worktogether as a structural whole. It is important to note that when we say “metal buildings” we speak of the structural parts, not their exterior finish. The outsides of metal buildings (walls and roofs), may be composed of any combination of other materials, including stucco, wood paneling, masonry, shingles, etc.
