Important Facts About Our
Buildings
1. Our
buildings are manufactured at 13 locations throughout the United States. Our
different shipping points and local availability of components ensures us of
the lowest freight cost possible. The largest manufacturing plant in the United
States is located in Houston, Texas.
2.
We lease our trucks from independent truck drivers who work
for our factory, so the loads are delivered directly from our plant to your job
site. These drivers are conscientious and courteous, keeping their loads tarped
and racked and driving carefully. All of this insures prompt and safe delivery
of your building.
3. Our
steel is made by domestic mills with the highest quality; 50,000 yield
structural galvalume steel consisting of aluminum, zinc and silicone. This
coating has twice the resistance to corrosion as regular galvanized steel. The
steel arrives tarped from the mills and is immediately stored inside our plant.
4. We
use precision roll-form sheets of steel. The heavy 26 gauge panels are 3'0"
wide. It's not light and soft; therefore it's easy to install and not subject
to wind, hail or snow damage. It's non-corrosive, built to last a lifetime.
5. We
take pride in fabricating and engineering a building people can build
themselves. From the first column to the crowning peak cap erecting a
AB&T building is uncomplicated and straight forward.
6. Parts
are numbered with corresponding engineered drawings. The easy to read plans
tell you exactly where the parts go and how they bolt together. Standard shop
tools; sheet metal cutters and a screw gun are all you need. It's work but it's
not complicated. The welding, cutting and hole punch is done for you. Whether
it's a 20' by 30' storage shed or a factory 500' wide, by whatever length you
need, AB&T is there for you.
7. Step
by step instructions and customer service representatives have a copy of your
engineered building plans, so if you have a question get out your drawing and
we will get out our copy and we will solve it over the telephone.
8. Whether
you put it up yourself or have a crew do it for you, you will soon discover you
purchased a first class metal building at the most competitive price in the
industry.

anchor bolt plans to you as soon as possible. We offer a wide variety of colors

screws for fast erection time. Your AB&T
building is finished out with a commercial profile building trim that looks

engineers can design a building to support any snow load in your area.
