The time it takes to design and construct a steel structure varies depending on a number of factors. Factors ranging from redesigns to building challenges, as well as others that are beyond human control, can all affect the delivery time. A few common variables that can affect the timetable for constructing a steel building are listed below.

Design 

When it comes to the design process, the correctness of the sketch has a significant impact on the time it takes to develop, create, and approve these drawings. It’s all in the details with engineered drawings. The finer and clearer the details, the faster these designs will come together, and the construction process will be accelerated.

Production 

It’s time to gather the materials once the drawings have been approved and are ready to begin. This can be a difficult task when it comes to the supplies. Fabrication time will be reduced if materials are in stock, however custom materials will take longer to get. When it comes to fabrication, everything is done on a case-by-case basis. The construction of a more complex structure may take longer. Shipping goods might add a significant amount of time to the process. Weather, distance, and road conditions can all contribute to the lengthening of the construction process when shipping things.

Construction 

It’s a common secret that building timetables occasionally deviate from the original plan. Weather delays, equipment delivery delays, and other factors are all common causes of construction delays. It’s also worth noting that the size of the building has a significant impact on the project’s duration. Buildings that are simple in nature require less time to construct than those that are more complicated counterparts.

When it comes to designing and building a steel building, expect construction delays. Need assistance with your next PEB Building? Contact the expert team at Ananthagiri today.
