Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings: Built to Meet Your Needs

Pre-engineered metal buildings (also known as PEMBs) have long established themselves as a cornerstone of modern construction projects, known for their efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and durability. Widely used across industries like warehousing, manufacturing, agriculture, and commercial spaces, PEMBs offer an innovative, streamlined approach to building design and construction. Here at MakoRabco, we’re excited to expand our expertise from self storage construction to include pre-engineered metal buildings for a wide variety of applications, bringing our commitment to quality and efficiency to an even broader audience.  

What Are Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings?  

A pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) is a steel structure made from building materials that are pre-fabricated to exact specifications and then assembled on-site for a fast and seamless construction experience. With much of the work done in advance, pre-engineered metal buildings can reduce on-site construction time and eliminate the need for extensive modifications during assembly. 

PEMBs - Rigid Frame and Clear Span Structures: Maximizing Space and Efficiency 

Pre-engineered metal buildings incorporate rigid frame and clear span structures, both designed to maximize usable space and enhance operational efficiency. Rigid frame structures provide exceptional strength, allowing for wide, open layouts with minimal interior columns. This design is ideal for buildings that must support heavy loads or withstand challenging weather conditions. Clear span structures, create an entirely unobstructed floor space with no interior support columns. This makes clear span PEMBs perfect for applications like warehouses, distribution centers, and other facilities where open space is critical for efficient movement of goods and equipment. With options for rigid frame buildings to include clear span designs, PEMBs offer a flexible and scalable solution for diverse business needs. 

Applications of Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings 

Warehouses and Distribution Centers: PEMBs are ideal for large, open layouts that allow for flexible interior configurations to suit various operational needs. They can be customized to include features like loading bays, high ceilings for vertical storage, and climate control, making them a practical choice for dynamic warehousing and distribution environments. 

Retail and Commercial Spaces: For businesses that need versatile retail environments or showrooms, PEMBs provide a high level of flexibility while keeping costs manageable. Interior infills can be customized according to the establishments needs. 

Agricultural Buildings: Farmers and agribusinesses benefit from PEMBs for barndominiums, storing equipment, housing livestock, and processing crops, thanks to their durability and spacious design.  

Industrial Facilities: For manufacturing, processing, and industrial storage, PEMBs can accommodate heavy machinery, high ceilings, and specialized layouts.  

Self StoragePEMBs can be used as an option for designing self-storage facilities, allowing owners to create a large, open space that can be infilled with a flexible unit mix adaptable to future market trends. They also provide an ideal solution for large, enclosed structures that can house indoor parking for boats and RVs.
