MARKETS AND MARKETING
The size of the buildings that can be produced ranges from less than 1,000 square feet to more than 1,000,000 square feet.
Complete metal building packages can be customized and combined with other materials such as glass, wood and masonry to

primarily through an independent builder distribution network in order to provide fast-track, customized solutions for building owners.
The primary markets served are commercial, industrial and institutional buildings, including distribution centers, automobile dealerships,
retail centers, schools, warehouses and manufacturing facilities. Domestic construction markets have stabilized during the past few years
but remain well below historical peak levels.
