GENERAL QUESTIONS
What is a Pre-Engineered Building?
A pre-engineered steel building is one that has been professionally designed and engineered to meet individual city and/or county requirements, such as snow and wind loads. Every Bunger Steel building is engineered and ready for permitting.
What is the Average Cost of a Building?
Due to the custom design of each building we fabricate, the cost of a steel structure can fluctuate. Contact us for a custom quote on your upcoming project.
How Long Does a Building Take to Complete?

Bunger Steel uses only the highest grade American steel for use in our building and components, including industry-standard 26ga sheeting and trim.

Does My Building Need to be Engineered?
Depending on where you plan to build and the size of your building, it could be possible that a permit is not required. Check with your local permitting office to find out their requirements. You can learn more about building codes here.
Do You Erect the Building?
Yes, we offer the option to professionally erect your project or you can do-it-yourself.
Do You Do Foundations?

Do You Sell Building Components?
Yes. We can provide nearly all steel building components found on the market.
Will You Supply Anchor Bolts for my Building?
Anchor bolts on a building are provided by the concrete contractor. If we perform concrete on your project, the anchor bolts will be included in that service.

I Want to Add onto an Existing Building. Can I Use Steel?
An “add-on” to an existing structure can be designed as a self-supporting building and would be flashed to the existing structure to appear as if it was a part of the original building.
