FAQ – Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings

1. What is a pre-engineered metal building (PEMB)?
A pre-engineered metal building is a complete steel structure designed and fabricated offsite, then delivered in ready-to-assemble components.

2. Why choose a PEMB from MakoRabco?
MakoRabco specializes in PEMB solutions built for long-term durability, cost-efficiency, and design flexibility. Our expertise in self-storage and commercial steel construction means every project is engineered to meet your business goals.

3. How fast can a PEMB be constructed?
Because components are pre-cut and pre-drilled, assembly time is much shorter than traditional construction—often weeks instead of months, depending on size and complexity.

4. How long will a PEMB last?
When properly maintained, a PEMB can last for decades. Steel framing resists pests, fire, and moisture, making it one of the most durable building systems available.

5. Can I customize my PEMB?
Yes. MakoRabco offers customization for building size, layout, roof type, insulation, color, and accessories so your PEMB fits both your functional and visual requirements.

6. Do PEMBs meet building codes?
Every PEMB we deliver is engineered to meet or exceed local building code requirements for wind, snow, seismic loads, and safety standards.

7. What type of foundation does a PEMB require?
Most PEMBs use a slab-on-grade foundation, but the exact type depends on your site conditions and building use. We coordinate with your engineering team to ensure the correct foundation design.

8. Can I expand my PEMB later?
Yes. One of the advantages of PEMBs is scalability—you can add bays or modify layouts to accommodate business growth.

9. How much maintenance does a PEMB need?
Maintenance is minimal. Routine inspections and occasional protective coating touch-ups will keep your building in top condition.

10. How does a PEMB compare to traditional self-storage construction?
PEMBs offer faster installation, long-term durability, and greater design flexibility—especially for projects that may expand or change over time. In self-storage construction, a traditional load-bearing wall system can often be the more cost-effective choice when the design is fixed. Both options have strengths, and MakoRabco can help you determine which system best fits your goals, budget, and timeline.
