Labor costs are also substantially reduced because most steel buildings are pre-welded, pre-punched, and pre-drilled at the factory. A steel building can be erected fast, another major advantage, and the building can be operating for business in forty five to ninety days instead of the many months involved in conventional construction. The durability of a steel building is another advantage and the low maintenance required along with no need for repainting year after year can
