Pre-Engineered building program on CD

By teaming up with licensed engineers, we have designed a masonry building system that meets most common state and federal building requirements. Your local architect or professional engineer will be a valuable member of your team in incorporating any personal design changes and in meeting any additional local building codes.
The Pre-Engineered building program (AutoCAD release 12 file format) has been prepared (Based on the International Building Code and North Carolina Code Amendments), to accommodate a number of design options or alterations that any one company might require. Adding additional space, work rooms, storage, washrooms, mezzanines, entrances and windows are all possible design modifications within the guidelines of state and local codes.
Choose from roof systems of hollow core pre-cast plank, double tee plank, steel bar joist or wood roof trusses. Getting the exact space, layout and configuration is easy when you start with our Pre-Engineered building program (AutoCAD release 12 file format). Your general contractor, architect, engineer and local CCMA producer member can help you finalize all material and design details.
