- Primary structural steel framing

- Bracing systems
- Metal roof systems
- Metal wall panels

Our goal is straightforward: build it correctly, build it safely, and help keep the project moving.
Pre-Engineered Metal Building Erector
Pre-engineered metal buildings have become a popular construction solution for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, agricultural buildings, aviation facilities, commercial buildings, storage facilities, workshops, and many other applications.
But the quality of a PEMB doesn’t depend solely on the building manufacturer.
The quality of the erection matters.
Components have to be properly staged, assembled, aligned, braced, connected, and installed according to the building plans and manufacturer’s requirements.
Summit Structural specializes in PEMB erection and metal building installation, giving general contractors and building owners a contractor who understands the unique requirements of pre-engineered building systems.
We erect steel buildings for projects including:
- Warehouses
- Distribution facilities
- Manufacturing buildings
- Industrial facilities
- Commercial buildings
- Retail buildings
- Self-storage facilities
- Aircraft hangars
- Agricultural buildings
- Equipment storage facilities
- Shops and maintenance buildings
- Clear-span buildings
- Office and warehouse combinations
- Multi-tenant commercial facilities
Already Purchased Your Metal Building? We Can Erect It.
Already have your building package?
Summit Structural offers steel building erection and installation-only services for customers who have already purchased a pre-engineered metal building.
Our team can review the project scope, plans, building package, site conditions, schedule, and installation requirements to develop an erection proposal for your project.
This can be an ideal solution for general contractors and owners who already have the building manufacturer selected but need an experienced metal building erector to perform the field installation.
Steel Building Erection From the Foundation Up
Some customers need an erector.
Others need a contractor who can take responsibility for more of the project.
Summit Structural can also provide turnkey metal building construction, allowing multiple phases of the project to be coordinated through one contractor.
Depending on the project scope, our capabilities can include pre-construction planning, site preparation, concrete foundations and slabs, PEMB installation, structural steel erection, roofing, wall systems, and completion of the structural shell.
Having one team involved in multiple phases can simplify communication and reduce coordination issues between the concrete contractor, steel supplier, erection crew, and other trades.
A Steel Erector That Understands Scheduling
When steel arrives on a commercial construction site, the schedule matters.
Delays during erection can affect roofing, electrical, mechanical, interior construction, equipment installation, and nearly every trade scheduled behind the steel crew.
That’s why planning begins before the first column goes up.
Summit Structural works with project stakeholders to review the scope of work, project plans, building components, site conditions, equipment requirements, access, staging, and construction schedule before mobilization.
Good preparation helps our crews work efficiently once erection begins and helps identify potential field challenges before they become expensive delays.
