Letter From CEO of Icon Building Systems

Hello Friends,

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to share with you our website, software, product listings and our business philosophy. In 2008 we are entering into our 12th year in business, and I will tell you it hasn't been easy. Over the past decade ICON Building Systems has proven itself as a market leader in many ways.

This year we introduced the World's first retail Steel Building Software, IQS and it is amazing. We designed it with the user in mind - and it shows. Designing and pricing a new Steel Building has never been easier, and IQS is heating up the marketplace each and every day. Thousands of people have already used IQS to create metal building plans and specs instantly from their designs. Pricing is a snap, and tapping into the resources you need are instant.

Since 2004, ICON Building Systems has been an Active Member of the American Institute of Steel Construction. As a structural fabricator, we have a deep commitment to keeping the quality of our products at the highest of standards. Being an AISC Member is an accomplishment that few experience. We are proud of our heritage, products and services and we are honored to be a part of the AISC team.

In Early 2008 we became one of the elite few steel building companies that were awarded a membership as an ENERGY STAR PARTNER, something that is not handed out to just anyone. We were awarded a membership for our continuing efforts to design and manufacture steel buildings to meet the highest of energy standards. ICON has always made an effort to be a hyper-efficient green-minded company. We did not "go green" to try to look like a concerned organization, we live it every day.

Because of our continuing concern for green building efforts and protecting the world's environment, we joined The U.S. Green Building Council. The USGBC is a non-profit organization that certifies sustainable businesses, homes, hospitals, schools, and neighborhoods. USGBC is dedicated to expanding green building practices and education, and its LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System. We are completing the certification to become a LEED Accredited Professional. LEED Accredited Professionals have demonstrated a thorough understanding of green building techniques, the LEED Green Building Rating System, and the certification process. The LEED AP program is administered by the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI), which was established with the support of USGBC to allow for objective, balanced management of the credentialing program.
These are only a few things that separate us from the rest of the pack. In your research, you will find out that we are the most reputable source for Steel Buildings in the world. No other provider will offer you what we do, it is just that simple. We are smarter, faster, and stronger and care more about you. We are passionate about everything we do - our team has proven itself time and time again.]

As our business grows, so do our hearts. We are grateful and humbled from our unique experience in the Steel Building market. We have experienced a pattern of growth that no other metal building manufacturer has ever seen. ICON Building Systems has grown an average of over 60% annually. This accomplishment, compounded over 8 years, shows a cumulative growth of over 4200%. This is a testament to our will to succeed. Every person working at ICON has a genuine commitment to quality. This is something we don't just say, we are all truly dedicated to getting it right.

ICON was the FIRST Company EVER to bring real time pricing to the Internet, and today we still reign as the premier website for steel buildings. We were the FIRST Company to offer a complete custom quote input wizard to enable customers to input complex Steel Buildings via the web, enabling users 24/7 access to the system. NO OTHER COMPANY can or will give you what we do. Nobody else gives you software to instantly create metal building plans and specs for your building FREE. No other company offers this service because they can't. We have invested many years and millions of dollars developing IQS. Nothing on earth compares to it.

This is what we do, working harder for you each and every day. So while you are comparing suppliers take into consideration these efforts and what they mean to you. After all, we did this for you.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

An Article from Icon Building Systems CEO

The majority of people shopping are doing so based on one thing – PRICE. I agree you should get the best Value for your dollar; it would be foolish not to try to make your hard-earned money go as far as possible. What concerns me is the amount of questionable businesses there are out there. Specifically there are problems in this industry. It is easy to put up a flashy website and look like a multi-million dollar company. Unfortunately there are way too many of them out there. I can tell you that more than likely 8 out of 10 companies you will find and contact online will be of questionable character. Does that sound like a lot? It is, and if you do your homework you’ll be safe and have a worry free transaction.

There are many ways to fully qualify companies. I like to call and ask to speak to accounting or accounts payable/receivable. If the person answering the phone is the “accountant” then you might consider investigating the rest of the company. Most of the trouble I have seen is from companies with a few people working out of a house and calling themselves a “manufacturer” and this is the reason you should talk to multiple people in the company and ask questions. If you don’t feel right or like you’re being “set-up” you probably are. Now it is true that there are small businesses out there that can and will treat you right. We’re a small business, but everywhere you turn we have a dedicated source of people to help you. We have qualified people here to help you. Is it worth paying more to get good service? Yes, it is. Do you have to? No, with us you get the best service in the industry for less than what others sell for. We have dedicated customer service and account representatives. There are 20+ people here to help you including qualified sales people and account managers backed by degreed Architectural and Engineering Professionals. We have built a great team to serve you.

Our success is your success. We are worth a second look – and if you need references of prior customers, we have them all over the US and internationally. Check out the MAP to see one close to you.

Think before you decide.
Adios!Mark - CEO

BUY BETTER. BUILD BETTER.

The basic requirement to erecting a building is instruction, tools, equipment and manpower. Usually Metal buildings are engineered to bolt together easily. Metal Building Manufacturers will send you an erection manual along with your plans. They start with laying out the foundation, anchor bolts and setting templates. There are general guidelines as to the basic foundation design, but footing sizes need to be designed to work with your soil profile. Additionally, their instruction literature covers many facets of the building process including material handling, storage and most importantly SAFETY.

In most cases most of the metal building manufacturers do not manufacture the products they sell. They play no part whatsoever in the design, detailing, drafting or engineering of your structure. If you have a problem in the field, it will be highly unlikely that you will be able to get adequate help from a Broker. So please be conscious in selecting the product that is controlled and manufactured to exact specifications.

A steel building is the most economical building choice you can make. Steel buildings are long lasting and trouble free. Steel is stronger and more resilient than conventional building materials. LOW COST steel buildings are more economical than conventional methods due to the originating costs and reduced labor. Complete steel buildings are delivered to the jobsite and quickly erected. QUICK CONSTRUCTION On average, a steel building system can be completed in approximately one-third the time required for conventional construction. BETTER APPEARANCE The appearance of steel buildings can easily be enhanced with stucco, stone, brick or glass. Metal building systems can attain a remarkable exterior that will merge with the ambiance of the building's surroundings.
