Commercial & Industrial Metal Buildings
Northern State Steel supplies project-specific commercial and industrial metal building systems nationwide, supporting project teams from early planning and budgeting through design coordination, engineering and fabrication. Expanded delivery, permitting and erection support is available for California projects.
Bring the PEMB Team In Earlier
Better commercial metal building projects often start before the building is fully designed.
Northern State Steel can work with owners, developers, contractors and design teams during conceptual planning to evaluate building dimensions, framing approaches, clear spans, loading requirements, framed openings, roof systems, insulation, future expansion and other factors that affect cost and constructability.
✓ Evaluate efficient building dimensions and bay spacing
✓ Coordinate structural and architectural requirements earlier
✓ Identify openings, loads and specialty conditions before engineering
✓ Reduce avoidable redesign during permitting and procurement
✓ Develop a clearer path from concept through building supply
Advance the PEMB Design Before Building Procurement
Northern State Steel can work directly with the project's Engineer of Record to develop the PEMB design, reactions, calculations and permit drawings during the design phase, before the building package is purchased.
This paid standalone preconstruction service can allow the PEMB information to be coordinated with the foundation and overall construction documents for the initial permit submittal. When accepted by the Engineer of Record and authority having jurisdiction, this approach may reduce deferred-submittal delays, minimize redesign and help the project move toward permit approval sooner.
The service does not require the customer to purchase the building from Northern State Steel. Building supply, delivery and erection may be priced separately when the project is ready.
Who This Service Is For
This early PEMB design and permit-integration service is intended for commercial and industrial projects being developed with a general contractor, architect, or project Engineer of Record. An established project design team and defined commercial building scope are required before this service can begin.
Owners purchasing a PEMB package directly from Northern State Steel will typically receive PEMB engineering and permit documentation through the standard building-order process. An owner may also use the standalone service when an architect or Engineer of Record has already been retained and will coordinate the overall project design.
From Concept Through Building Supply
Northern State Steel supports commercial and industrial projects nationwide from early building-system planning through engineering and fabrication. California projects can also receive expanded permit, delivery and erection support.
Metal Building Solutions for Commercial & Industrial Projects
Northern State Steel supplies commercial and industrial facilities nationwide with pre-engineered metal building systems developed around the operational, structural and scheduling requirements of each project.
One PEMB Team From Planning Through Building Supply
Commercial metal building projects work better when design, engineering and procurement are coordinated early. Northern State Steel helps project teams move from concept toward a coordinated building package, with expanded permitting, delivery and erection support available for California projects.
Selected Commercial PEMB Project Experience
These California projects demonstrate Northern State Steel’s experience coordinating commercial PEMB design, building supply and field erection.


A PEMB Partner for the Entire Project Team
Northern State Steel works with the people responsible for planning, designing, budgeting and constructing commercial and industrial facilities across the United States.
Commercial PEMB Supply Nationwide
Northern State Steel supplies project-specific commercial and industrial PEMB systems nationwide, coordinating the building package around location, design criteria, procurement requirements and the construction plan.
In California, our capabilities can extend beyond supply to include permit coordination, delivery and field erection for a more complete project solution.
