Benefits of a MetalCor Cold-formed Building
MetalCor Cold-formed (CF) Bolt-Up Steel Buildings are a smart, durable alternative to wood construction. Manufactured in-house for quick delivery, our pre-engineered CF systems are easy to assemble with basic tools—no welding or cutting needed. Built to resist warping, rotting, and twisting, each package includes everything you need, from components to clear instructions. It’s a fast, cost-effective, and DIY-friendly solution backed by MetalCor quality.
Fast, Bolt-Together Assembly
Our pre-punched components make assembly simple and efficient. With basic tools and no welding required, installation is easy and quick.
Durable, Rot-Resistant Steel
Built with galvanized steel, our structures resist rot, warping, twisting, and pests—delivering long-term strength with minimal maintenance.
Engineered for a Precise Fit
Each building is designed using advanced modeling software to ensure every component fits as it should—eliminating guesswork on-site.
Slab-on-Grade Compatible
Cold-formed buildings can be installed on a simple slab-on-grade foundation, helping reduce concrete and excavation costs compared to larger pre-engineered structures.
Cost-Effective Alternative to Wood
Enjoy the durability of steel at a price comparable to wood—without concerns like rot, splitting, or structural sag over time.
Complete, Ready-to-Assemble Packages
Every order includes everything needed to get started: pre-cut and labeled components, structural framing, cladding, trim, and clear, detailed installation drawings.
Ideal Application
Designed for efficiency, versatility, and value, MetalCor’s cold-formed pre-engineered steel buildings are the smart choice for small to mid-size projects. Manufactured from high-tensile galvanized steel, these structures deliver impressive strength while remaining lightweight and cost-effective. With clear spans of up to 30’, they provide open, functional interiors that can be tailored to a variety of uses — from mini storage facilities and workshops to agricultural sheds and light commercial spaces. Fast to manufacture, easy to assemble, and built to last, our cold-formed buildings offer a dependable solution when budget, speed, and performance are equally important.
Efficient Clear Spans (Up to 30’)
Ideal for small to mid-size projects, our cold-formed frames provide open, functional interiors without unnecessary structural bulk.
Lightweight Yet Strong
Manufactured from high-tensile galvanized steel, these buildings deliver impressive strength while reducing overall structural weight and foundation requirements.
Cost-Effective Construction
Cold-formed steel framing offers excellent value, with lower material and installation costs compared to traditional hot rolled designs — without sacrificing quality.
Versatile Uses
Perfect for mini storage buildings, workshops, farm equipment sheds, retail spaces, and light industrial facilities where budget, speed, and functionality matter most.

6 Buildings, 4 Phases — How King’s Welding Built Smart with Cold-formed Steel
King’s Welding, based in New Brunswick, approached MetalCor with a long-term vision: to build out a site that could serve their business needs today, while allowing for future adaptation and expansion. Over the course of five years and four carefully planned phases, they’ve completed a total of six buildings with MetalCor—including two large clear-span Cold-Formed steel buildings and four mini storage buildings.
The clear-span structures, each with a 10′-6″ eave height, were initially designed for workshop and equipment use. While only one access door was installed in each building during the original build, the MetalCor team pre-engineered sidewall framing to accommodate future door openings. This foresight gives King’s Welding the flexibility to convert or subdivide the interior in the future—whether for rental bays, additional workshop access, or private storage units.
