Is a Pre-engineered Steel Building Right for Your Project?

University of South Dakota | Fiegen Construction

Over the past 50 years, we have built hundreds of structures—large and small—for manufacturers, commercial businesses, schools, medical facilities, and churches throughout South Dakota. And, because we tend to do more than one job for a client, we have the opportunity to see how well these buildings weather time, heavy use, and our South Dakota climate.

That’s why we made the decision to partner with Butler Manufacturing™ by joining the largest network of construction professionals in the world to provide our clients with the best steel buildings in the industry. We see many advantages to building pre-engineered steel structures, notwithstanding the unmatched durability and affordability that Butler Buildings offer. Throughout every stage of construction and over the entire lifetime of the building, our clients enjoy time- and money-saving solutions by using our design-build services paired with the Butler Building System. Here are just a few of the benefits: 

Design Flexibility

Reduced Construction Time
One of the greatest advantages is the ability to reduce your construction schedule. In fact, using a Butler Building System has been shown to reduce construction times by up to 30% versus conventional building methods.

All Butler structural steel is precision engineered using state-of-the-art computer modeling to facilitate faster assembly in the field. Fiegen Construction’s design-build delivery system eliminates third parties to streamline construction and further condense construction schedules.

Low Maintenance
Steel buildings resist damage from high winds, heavy rains, termites, ants, lightning and mold better than conventional building materials. Plus, steel structures and roofs are easier to maintain than wood-frame and concrete structures.
