Driving the Need for Distribution Centers
Warehousing spaces have seen dramatic rent increases in recent years and that trend is expected to continue with customer activity in the third quarter of 2017 at its highest level since 2014, according to the Prologis Industrial Business Indicator. That’s good news for warehouse owners and lessors, who are reaping the benefits of high demand and low vacancy rates. This demand makes building a warehouse facility potentially a very lucrative endeavor, and a pre-fabricated steel building is a perfect fit for such a facility. With the efficient construction timeline of a steel building, you can get your distribution center up and running in no time.
Why Steel Buildings Are Perfect for Distribution Centers
Unless your company is large enough to secure a large contract, most distribution center companies do not just store the goods or “wares” of one company. Therefore, you need to provide a distribution center that can provide ample space for numerous wares like auto and bike parts for local businesses, as well as room for a potentially larger company like a national furniture store.

The Velocity of Erecting Steel Buildings
Depending on complexity and width, most steel distribution center designs can be erected at a rate of 1,000 to 1,500 square feet per day. This means that barring any unforeseen circumstances, the average crew can construct the wall columns, wall sheeting, interior support columns and roof sheeting of a 10,000-square foot warehouse facility in about 10 days. This makes a pre-engineered steel building the perfect product to start a new distribution center in your area quickly and offer a space as impressive as the warehouse in Clare, MI featured in the photos above and details below.
