Steel Building Erection

Steel building erection is an important part of a steel building project. The steel building supplier is not responsible for the erection of the steel building system, the supply of tools or equipment, or any other field work required. The supplier does not provide any field supervision for the erection of the structure or perform any inspections of the steel building system before or after the erection.

Steel building erectors usually erect the steel building system according to their standard procedures unless otherwise stated on the contract documents. Most steel building erectors only get involved in the actual erection of the building. They do not get involved in any finish work such as electrical, trim work, plumbing, or any other work that may be necessary to complete the building. Steel building erectors are usually responsible for the following:

Tools and Equipment: The erector is usually responsible for providing all of the tools and equipment necessary for unloading and erecting the building safely and properly. Some standard and non-standard components and accessories of a steel building system.

Electric Power and Compressed Air: At the time of erection most buildings do not yet have electricity. The erector is responsible for providing electricity and compressed air needed to power tools and equipment. The compressed air and electric power required for steel building system erection.

Insulation and Insulation Accessories: The erector is usually responsible for any insulation and insulation accessories to be assembled in conjunction with the exterior wall and roof of the steel building system.

And also responsible for removal of temporary buildings or trash resulting from the erection work. Temporary guys and bracing necessary for squaring, plumbing, and securing the structural framing against loads.

Experienced steel building erectors may be booked months in advance during the busiest seasons, so it is wise to secure one as soon as you know the delivery date for your building. Your specific erection manual will contain a complete list of all necessary tools and equipment. It will also contain step by step instructions and diagrams, showing you exactly what to do first, and how to proceed for easy assembly.

Complete erection manuals come with every building. Each plan is prepared specially for that individual building and should be followed exactly.
