Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings

Wasatch designs, engineers, fabricates, and erects pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB) for self-storage, boat and RV storage, warehouses, distribution, manufacturing, mixed-use shells, and any commercial program that benefits from clear-span steel. The pre-engineered approach locks structural cost early, shortens schedule against conventional stick-built, and gives owners a predictable delivery against an actual calendar.

A pre-engineered metal building is not a generic catalog kit. Every Wasatch PEMB is engineered to the specific snow, wind, and seismic loads of the jurisdiction it sits in, with stamped drawings ready for permit submission. Primary rigid frames, secondary purlins and girts, bracing, wall and roof panels, trim, fasteners, and accessory components are all spec'd together as a single coordinated package, then factory-fabricated and labeled for sequenced field erection.

Compared to conventional construction, a PEMB compresses the four traditional contracts (architect, structural engineer, fabricator, general contractor) into a single design-build package. The number on the bid is the number that gets built. Schedule risk lives almost entirely on the site work side, not the building itself, because the steel arrives on the agreed delivery date with every component pre-cut and pre-punched. That makes a PEMB the default tool for owners who care about predictable cost and a defensible opening date.

Steel building contractors usually fall into one of three camps: kit suppliers who ship boxes and walk, design-build generalists who treat the steel as one of many subs, and steel-first builders who carry the whole stack. Wasatch is the third. The metal building company designs and engineers the system, the construction arm puts it up, and one team is accountable for the result from first call through final inspection.

A complete Wasatch PEMB package ships with stamped engineered drawings, primary rigid frames, secondary framing, bracing, wall and roof panels, trim, every fastener, sealants, and roll-up doors. Owners who want to erect with their own crew get the same complete package and the same technical support during assembly. Owners who want turnkey delivery get the Wasatch field crew on-site through to certificate of occupancy.

Wall panels, roof panels, trim, and doors are finished in baked-on coatings built to resist peeling, flaking, and fade. Galvalume-coated roofing resists corrosion far longer than bare steel, and the door package runs EP3 corrosion-proof springs as standard.

Pre-engineered metal building systems can be insulated for climate-controlled use, sound-attenuated for tenant noise control, lined for warehouse-grade interior surfaces, or left as a raw shell for tenant buildout. Insulated wall and roof panels in 2", 3", or 4" thicknesses are available for energy-conscious applications. Liner panels in 29-gauge galvalume create a clean, durable interior surface that holds up to warehouse racking and forklift traffic.

Standard exterior colors run the neutral spectrum: Ash Gray, Iced White, Cream Beige, Light Stone, Slate Gray, Silhouette Gray. Roof options include Galvalume natural finish, painted standing seam, or low-slope membrane-ready underlayment. Trim and doors carry the full color set including high-visibility branding accents for retail-facing or tenant-branded applications.
