Frequently Asked Questions

Technical clarifications on performance parameters, materials, logistics, and engineering processes.

Q1. How does Metro Build guarantee energy efficiency in its prefabricated steel warehouses?
We minimize thermal transfer through a sealed thermal envelope. By applying high-density Polyisocyanurate (PIR) or polyurethane (PUR) sandwich panels, we reduce thermal bridging. We customize wall and roof panels with thicknesses ranging from 50mm up to 200mm (R-values to R-40+), lowering the energy load required for internal climate control.
Q2. Can your steel structure designs adapt to local building codes in Europe and the Americas?
Yes. Our in-house design engineers utilize structural calculation software to align with international design codes, including AISC ASD/LRFD, Eurocode 3 (EN 1993), BS standards, and AS/NZS 4100. We issue comprehensive calculation books detailing dead loads, live loads, wind loads, seismic ratings, and snow loads customized for your specific location.
Q3. What anti-corrosion treatments are applied to structures destined for maritime regions?
For projects in humid, coastal, or high-salinity locations, we recommend hot-dip galvanization with a minimum zinc weight of 600g/m² (complying with ISO 1461). Alternatively, we offer multi-coat paint systems consisting of an epoxy zinc-rich primer, an epoxy micaceous iron oxide intermediate barrier, and a polyurethane topcoat to ensure long-term durability.
Q4. What is the typical lead time for a custom-prefabricated industrial warehouse?
A standard warehouse project requires 2 to 3 weeks for structural calculations, shop drawings, and customer validation. Manufacturing typically takes 4 to 6 weeks, depending on structural tonnage and coating choices. All components are packed, coded, and loaded into containers to simplify overseas customs clearing and onsite assembly.
Q5. How does prefabrication help lower overall construction costs?
Because our components are pre-cut, pre-welded, and pre-drilled at our factory, on-site assembly becomes a bolt-together process. This efficiency reduces installation time by 50% compared to traditional on-site fabrication, minimizing labor overhead, lowering equipment rental costs, and reducing weather-related delays.
