What is steel structure warehouse? Generally speaking, the industrial steel structure warehouse is done with a series of structural steel, including steel columns, steel beams, purlin and so on. These main components constitute the load-bearing structure of the warehouse.
Due to light weight and easy construction, there is a great demand for the structural steel warehouse. The steel strucutre is also the most cost-efficient building type for many projects. Therefore, it is time for you to invest in steel warehouse buildings from a long-term economic consideration.

What Are The Advantages Of Steel Structure?
- Cost efficient – Compared with traditional concrete buildings, steel warehouse construction usually costs less. All the components will be manufactured in the factory, including the components drilling, cutting and welding, and then installed on site, thus it will greatly reduce the construction period.
- Greater strength – The steel structure construction replaces reinforced concrete with steel plates or steel sections, which has higher strength and better earthquake resistance.
- Environmental protection – The structural steel warehouse is more environmental friendly as it can be reused in other projects, thus it will significantly reduce construction waste.
- Easy installation – The steel portal frame warehouse can be easily assembled and erected by workers, thus saving manpower and labor costs.
- High durability – The industrial steel structure can withstand harsh environmental conditions, and by way of coating with fireproof paint and aluminum compounds, it will effectively prevent fire and rusting. Therefore, it has prolonged service life.
- High reliability – The steel structure is capable of withstanding impact and dynamic loads, as well as with good seismic performance. Besides, the internal structure of the steel is uniform.
How Much Does It Cost to Build A Steel Structure Warehouse?
Every day, we have customers who reach out to us to ask for a steel structure warehouse price. However, the price range of a warehouse steel structure is very wide, and the specific steel frame warehouse cost depends on many factors.
Therefore, in order to help you understand how to budget for a steel structure warehouse construction, we will discuss several factors that affect the cost of a steel structure building.
1. Raw Materials
The raw materials are the main factor affecting the cost of steel structure warehouse buildings.
Steel and plates are the main components of the steel structure construction, accounting for about 70%-80% of the total cost. Therefore, the fluctuation of the market price of steel raw materials directly affects the steel warehouse construction cost.
In addition, the prices of different section steel materials and supporting surfaces, and materials and thicknesses of enclosure plates are also very different.
2. Height and Span
The height and span is also an important factor affecting the steel warehouse cost. In addition, if your prefabricated steel structure warehouse considers installing an overhead bridge crane, the price will also be different.
In a word, the specific cost depends on your prefab steel warehouse usage and height-span ratio.
3. Geological Condition
The basic cost is closely related to the geology of the steel warehouse structure buildings.
When it comes to structural steel warehouse design, pay attention to the geological report of the location of the steel structure warehouse building, and a reasonable basic type should be selected.
Controlling the loading surface and buried depth of the foundation plays a positive role in saving the total cost of a prefab steel structure warehouse construction.
4. The Complexity of the Structures
The complexity of the structures also affects the China steel structure warehouse cost.
The more complex the structures, the higher the required design scheme and technology, and as a result, the higher the cost of the industrial steel warehouse construction.
In a word, the steel structure warehouse cost is determined by factors such as raw materials, design schemes, height and span, geological conditions, etc.
If you want to know your steel warehouse price, please kindly provide the building dimension (L*W*H), geological condition, the capacity of overhead crane, etc. After receiving your inquiry, our engineers and project consultants will get together and begin putting together a comprehensive proposal for your project.
What Should I Look For When Buying A Prefabricated Steel Warehouse?
There are a few things you will need to consider when buying a prefabricated warehouse steel structure:
- Warehouse steel frame structure dimensions – when talking to prefabricated warehouse steel structure manufacturers, you need to provide the dimension of the structures so that they can provide you with a suitable and cost-effective warehouse steel structure design. The basic geometric dimensions include length, width, height, column spacing, steel frame span, etc.
- Geological condition at the location of the metal structure warehouse – for example, if you are in an earthquake-prone zone, please provide the seismic rating so that we can take it into consideration when designing the structure. Other natural conditions include reference wind pressure, reference snow pressure, extremely low temperature, etc.
- Function of your prefab metal warehouse – are you considering installing one or more overhead cranes inside your warehouses to help you lift, transport and store goods faster and safer? If you need to install overhead cranes, please mention it when communicating with the steel structure warehouse supplier.
- Other requirements – whether the steel structure industrial building needs insulation, what type of wall is, and whether there are requirements for the production cycle.
Steel Structure VS. Reinforced Concrete, Which Is An Ideal Choice?
The most of the industrial, commercial or civil buildings are constructed by means of either structural steel or reinforced concrete. Each way has its own pros and cons. When determining a structure for your warehouse, you need to take several factors into account so as to select the most suitable construction material for your warehouse.
The cost of building a warehouse is of course the top consideration of the most customers. In addition, they may consider a few things such ash the strength, durability, ease of construction and sustainability of the building.
Cost
The light steel structure warehouse is the most popular option for many industrial and commercial usages thanks to its easy construction, high utilization and low cost. Besides, in contrast to reinforced concrete building, it has shorter construction period.
Strength
The steel has light weight and high strength, and the structural steel design of warehouse will also take safety into consideration.
Durability
The life cycle of the building is another important factor to consider, which will be affected by some elements in the environment, such as water, fire and humidity.
Considering the characteristics of structural steel, it will easily get rusty when exposed to water or any moisture. Compared with concrete, it also lacks of good insulation, so employing the steel structure for warehouse should take the fire hazard into consideration.
Generally, the steel structure building will be designed with fireproof coating and aluminum compounds coating to prevent hazardous conditions.
Ease of construction
The structural steel can be designed into any shape and size and connected by welds or bolts. It can be prefabricated in the factory and then sent to the site for construction, thus it will shorten your construction period.
Sustainability
The construction should also consider the effect on the environment.
If properly used, both industrial steel structure and concrete can be environmental friendly construction options. Many structural steels are made of recycled metals, and they can be reused in other projects. Concrete also does not cause harm to the environment. For the future concrete buildings, the concrete can be crushed and used as aggregate, realizing a high utilization.
When building a warehouse for your project, we hope that you will consider the above factors comprehensively to determine a proper structure for your warehouse.
