The Steel Building Manufacturer produces high quality, pre-engineered metal buildings. However, these buildings become structures only after erection. Quality erection is essential if the manufacturer, the erection crew and the owner are to realize a successful project.

An Erection Manual is available to the Global Steel Buildings customer. It is a summary of the techniques and best practices in use in the metal building industry. These procedures and methods are by necessity general in nature. The erector should always, especially in special circumstances, use proven and safe erection methods.

The erection manual is intended only as a supplement to the erection (construction) drawings that are provided with each building. The erection (construction) drawings show the specific customer’s buildings as engineered and fabricated according to his / her individual requirements. The building erection (construction) drawings will always govern or take precedence with regards to construction details and building parts.

Specific terms of use of the Erection Manual are set out within the document.

It is emphasized that the manufacturer of the steel building is not engaged in the erection of its products. Opinions expressed about erection practices are intended to present only a guide as to how the components should be assembled to create a building. The experience, expertise and skills of the erection crews as well as the equipment used for handling the building components determines the quality of the erection and the ultimate customer satisfaction of the completed building.
