Frequently Asked Questions
What does MetalCor Building Systems do?
MetalCor specializes in the design, supply, manufacturing and installation of pre-engineered steel buildings, interior storage lockers, roll-up doors, insulated metal panels, and custom metal components. We also manufacture cold-rolled and hot-rolled steel building systems for a wide range of commercial and industrial uses.
Do you provide installation services?
Yes, in addition to supplying high-quality metal building systems, we offer professional installation services for insulated metal panels and select building systems depending on location of project.
How do I request a quote?
You can request a quote directly from our website’s Contact Page or by calling 519-264-1255. Please provide basic project information (location, size, building use) for the most accurate quote. A sales representative will be in touch right away!
What is your average lead time?
Lead times vary by product type, volume and complexity. Typical production is 4–8 weeks, with delivery timelines confirmed during the order process.
Do you ship across Canada?
Yes, we ship nationwide. Full Truckload (FTL) or Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipping options are available depending on your order size.

Absolutely. We collaborate with builders, architects, developers, and project managers across Canada and internationally. Custom detailing, stamped drawings, and design support are available on request.
Do you offer design services for buildings?
We assist with layout design, structural engineering, and detailing for most steel structures. For larger or more complex builds, we can coordinate with engineers or architects as needed.
Can I visit your facility?
Yes, we encourage you to visit our facility. Please call ahead to book a meeting with our team so we can ensure someone is available to assist you
What types of self-storage buildings do you offer?
We supply single- and multi-story self-storage buildings, including interior locker systems, portable storage units, roll-up doors and more.
Can MetalCor help design a self-storage facility?
Yes, we can assist with the unit layout, locker heights, door heights, building sizes, and supply of a complete self-storage system tailored to your site and market.
Are the interior lockers customizable?
Yes, our locker systems include partitions, doors, headers, and piers, and can be customized in terms of size, configuration, and colour.
What are the advantages of portable storage units?
Portable units offer flexibility, are easy to relocate, and provide secure storage for seasonal or overflow needs.
How long does construction take?
Drive-up buildings can be completed in weeks, while multi-storey facilities may take several months depending on size and complexity.
Do you provide interior hallway systems?
Yes—we supply complete interior partition and locker systems for multi-storey facilities or converted buildings.
Can I get drive-through or covered loading areas?
Yes, drive-through loading bays or canopies can be designed into multi-storey or large facilities for customer convenience.
Where are interior locker systems typically used?
They’re ideal for multi-storey self-storage facilities, conversions of existing warehouses, or climate-controlled spaces.
Do you offer swing doors as well as roll-up doors?
Yes—while roll-up doors are most common, swing doors are available for smaller lockers and specialty applications.
Can lockers be installed in non-purpose-built buildings?
Absolutely—they’re often used to retrofit old warehouses, retail stores, or industrial facilities into profitable storage operations.
What are pre-engineered buildings?
Pre-engineered buildings (PEMBs) are factory-designed and manufactured structures that allow for faster construction, cost savings, and long-term durability compared to traditional builds.
What's the difference between pre-engineered, hot-rolled, and cold-rolled buildings?
Pre-engineered buildings are complete building systems designed for efficiency. Hot-rolled buildings use heavy structural steel for large, load-bearing applications, while cold-rolled buildings use lighter steel components ideal for self-storage and smaller structures.
Are your buildings engineered for Canadian climates?
Yes, all our buildings are designed to meet local building codes and withstand snow, wind, and seismic loads across Canada.
Can I expand my metal building later?
Yes, our systems are designed with flexibility in mind, making future expansions and modifications simple.
Which building type is best for my project?
It depends on your building size, use, and budget. We help assess your needs and recommend the most efficient and cost-effective building system.
Can drive-up facilities be expanded over time?
Yes—most operators start with a few rows and add more buildings as demand grows.
What unit sizes are most common for drive-up storage?
The most popular sizes are 10×10, 10×15, and 10×20, but layouts can be customized.
Are metal buildings customizable?
Yes, they can be tailored in size, layout, roof pitch, colours, door openings, window openings, and finishes to meet your exact needs.
Do I need a concrete foundation for a metal building?
Yes, a level concrete foundation or piers are typically required to anchor and support the structure.
How long does it take to construct a metal building?
Construction time depends on size and complexity. Smaller buildings can be erected in weeks, while larger ones may take several months.
Are metal buildings cheaper than traditional construction?
Yes, they generally cost less due to reduced labour, faster timelines, and lower maintenance needs.
What types of roofing are available?
Metal buildings typically use standing seam or screw-down metal panels, with insulation and coatings to prevent leaks and improve efficiency.
What are the advantages of drive-up storage?
The most popular sizes are 10×10, 10×15, and 10×20, but layouts can be customized.
What accessories do you supply?
We provide insulated metal panels (roof & wall), metal cladding (roof & wall), standard trims, custom trims, fasteners, light-gauge steel components (Cee, Zee, eave strut, angles) closures, walk doors, and more.
Are insulated panels energy efficient?
Yes, our insulated metal panels provide excellent thermal performance, helping reduce heating and cooling costs.
Can you match trim and cladding colours?
Absolutely. We offer a wide range of colours and finishes to match your building’s design or branding.
What is light-gauge structural used for?
MetalCor’s light-gauge structural components are engineered for both load-bearing and non-load-bearing applications. They are commonly used in cold-formed buildings, storage buildings, framing systems, partition walls, and other structural elements where strength, precision, and reduced weight are critical.
Do you stock standard trims or custom fabricate?
We do both — we stock common profiles and also fabricate custom trims to meet your project’s unique needs.
Are light-gauge components galvanized?
Yes—they are typically galvanized for corrosion resistance and long-term durability.
Can light-gauge framing be integrated with other building systems?
Yes—it can be used alongside hot-rolled steel, IMPs, and roll-up doors for complete building solutions.
Are trims custom-fabricated?
Yes—trims can be bent and cut to fit unique building requirements.
Can trims be ordered separately from a building package?
Yes—trims are available as individual accessory components for both new builds and retrofits.
Can roll-up doors be customized in size and colour?
Yes—doors can be manufactured to fit custom openings and supplied in a range of standard and specialty colours.
Does MetalCor provide training for installers?
Yes—we provide technical documentation, installation manuals, and project-specific guidance.
Do you provide engineered drawings and erection manuals?
Yes—every building package includes engineered drawings, layout plans, and installation guidelines.
Do you supply fasteners, sealants, and erection hardware?
Yes—complete building kits include all required components for a successful installation.
How are materials delivered?
We arrange shipping directly to the job site, with packaging designed for easy unloading and staging.
Do you assist with scheduling and coordination?
Yes—our team coordinates manufacturing lead times with your project schedule to avoid delays.

Does MetalCor work with independent installers and erectors?
Yes—MetalCor regularly partners with experienced installers, builders, and erectors across Canada and the U.S.
