Metal Building Homes

Residential Home Kit building

Home Sweet Steel Home

As homeowners continue to look for ways to build affordable new homes, many are turning to metal home building kits. Recent construction data shows that there’s been a 15% increase in building metal homes compared to traditional home construction. With reduced maintenance needs, customizable floor plans, and cost-effective square footage, metal home kits are a popular alternative for new construction.

Over the past five years, an increase in the use of metal buildings as homes has allowed Worldwide Steel Buildings to create a simple, specialized building system in order to create and finish a new home. This package allows our customers – whether you’re a DIYer or you hire a contractor – to quickly and easily build a prefab home that not only goes up faster, but costs less per square foot to build. Our customizable house kits allow for spacious floor plans and adaptable living spaces to support any lifestyle. Metal building homes are a smart and cost-effective alternative to traditional home construction.

If you’re concerned a steel home might feel cold or impersonal, don’t worry. The living quarters of a steel building can be customized to look and feel just like a traditional home.

The Cost Savings of a Steel Frame Home

Investing in a metal building home from Worldwide Steel Buildings is a cost-effective solution to traditional home construction. Depending on what high end finishing is done, a building kit from Worldwide Steel Buildings should range between $70 – $100 per square foot—that’s significantly cheaper than the national average, which often exceeds $100. Metal building homes built with Worldwide use only the highest quality steel building materials which can withstand the harshest weather conditions, so you can be confident in your building project’s lasting value.

Not only do Worldwide Steel building kits cost less in the short-term, they cost much less over the life of the home. Steel homes are less susceptible to many of the challenges of traditional homes (like wood rot, pest infestation, mold, mildew or fire), so they cost less (and take less effort) to maintain over the decades. If your metal house does need some attention outside the scope of normal use? Worldwide Steel Buildings offers a limited 50-year warranty on every one of its custom metal buildings.
