Designing Strip Malls for Efficient Cash Flow
Working with General Steel is a collaborative process that ensures that your final product reflects your specific needs. The process starts with a two-way conversation between you and our experienced team. We want to know exactly how you will be operating your strip mall, how the building will fit on your property, and your ideas for interior and exterior design, among other factors. We then research the location of the strip mall to ensure that your building will be equipped to withstand the wind and snow loads of your area as well as any insulation requirements.
Once we get an idea of what building kit best suits your project, we work with you to add customization options, including a wide variety of doors, windows, and exterior color schemes. The ease of steel construction allows us to modify layouts and add further customizations without breaking your budget. From design to construction, we provide the materials and expertise to transform a building kit into a dynamic strip mall.
Save Up to 50% Over Traditional Construction
A major advantage in choosing a steel building over traditional building materials is the speed of construction. When you receive your building kit from General Steel, it is ready to be erected. With simple bolt-together construction, you can quickly get your strip mall up and running. The more efficient timeline of steel construction over traditional materials will also save up to 50% on time and material costs.
Steel is renowned for its strength, but one of the primary benefits of purchasing a steel building for your strip mall is its versatility. Our building kits are designed according to use, which means we are able to modify floor layouts as well as include customization options that reflect precisely how your strip mall will be used.
