Types of Metal Buildings We Construct

At Koehn Building Systems, we strive to provide durable, versatile, and efficient structures designed to meet the needs of each of our clients. That’s why our construction company specializes in the design, fabrication, and installation of pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB).

What Is a Metal Building System?

A metal building system is a pre-engineered structure primarily made of steel or other metals, designed for a variety of uses, including commercial, industrial, agricultural, and recreational purposes. Metal building systems consist of a framework of steel columns, rafters, purlins and girts (secondary framing) and roof panels, which are pre-fabricated off-site and then assembled on location.
