Steel Building Construction: Can I Erect My Steel Building Myself?

To get started make sure you have specific tools and some additional equipment to help lift heavy parts, especially if you erect a large metal building.

Before erecting your building, it’s important not to forget about OSHA. Builders must follow OSHA regulations for metal buildings to ensure safety. A simple search through OSHA’s online resources can help guide you through the process.

Once all of the necessary tools and equipment have been secured, make sure all of the parts and pieces are in place before get started. To do that review a material checklist which we always include as well as a simple to follow step-by-step manual.

Also it is very important to study the building plans and erection guide thoroughly! Unlike a simple furniture assembly, it can be much harder and time-consuming to fix making a mistake during the steel building construction process .

While each metal building kit comes with everything you need for the relatively quick and easy assembly, it’s recommended that the builder has some previous construction experience, or that you include or employ an individual with a background in trade and the safety practices. If you have additional questions before starting the construction process, our instruction guides contain a helpline along with email contact information to reach a professional.

Lots of our customers choose to build their metal buildings by themselves, although we realize it is not for everyone.
