Steel buildings are being increasingly utilised within the construction industry due to their durability, strength and adaptability. The latest development is a substance that can be applied directly onto steel buildings to make them solar power generators. Environmentalists are sure to embrace this as solar power is a very effective means of generating and by utilising the sheer size of many steel buildings is likely to prove an instrumental tool in providing energy in the future.
This latest discovery is expected to be big business when it comes to steel buildings as many companies are seeking ways to become more environmentally friendly. There does certainly appear to be room for this innovative solar power substance in the construction industry as there are millions of square metres of cladding applied to steel buildings each year and the substance could be used to make these structures considerably more environmentally friendly.

CAD Advancements
With the recent benefits that Computer Aided Design (CAD) has brought about, Steel Buildings have evolved making them much safer and more advanced. These advances have also led to more efficient manufacturing processes as a large majority of steel buildings are prefabricated buildings.

BIG News for Three Counties Buildings Ltd!!
Congratulations from the Group Source Team!!!
Three Counties Buildings Ltd were asked to design and install a prestigious Advanced Transport Service building at Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 for the World's most sophisticated automated transport system. 3CB worked in conjunction with a global construction company and the BAA (British Airports Authority).
Three Counties Buildings Ltd were closely involved in the concept of this build and worked closely with the architects to fine tune the building design and layout. The Heathrow T5 PRT (Personal Rapid Transport) Project Manager is extremely happy with the final result.
"3CB have provided our project with a depot workshop that we are looking forward to putting to use. Their sales, design and project delivery representatives worked well as a team and were professional and accommodating in all dealings with ourselves as the client and the appointed architect. The end building product is of high quality finish and fits well into our system which is crucial as we will be projected into the world's media. We expect high standards from all contractors and having worked with 3CB on this project, we would be pleased to recommend and use them for similar services in the future."

Steel Buildings
Steel framed Buildings are usually a skeleton frame, made with are horizontal and vertical beams. Tey are constructed in a rectangluar grid to support floors and walls of the building which will be attached to the frame. This technique makes buildings tall buildings and sky scrapers possible.
Steel buildings often consist of galvanised cold-rolled steel frames and sections that can be delivered to a site and simply bolted together. Some firms also offer a delivery-to-site-and-self-build option.
Most steel buildings companies offer a full package, from the design to the construction of the building. Depending on the size of the buildings they can be delivered and constructed on site, or they can be be delivered as a flat pack.
