Specialty — Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings

Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings in the Tri-Cities

When you need square footage that goes up fast and pencils out, a pre-engineered metal building is hard to beat. PEMB is Pelican's specialty — we build steel buildings across the Tri-Cities for businesses that want durable space without conventional-construction timelines or cost.

Why a metal building

  • Goes up faster than conventional construction.
  • Lower cost per square foot for big, open spans.
  • Durable and low-maintenance.
  • Easy to expand later.

Our PEMB process

  1. Site & foundation. We prep the site and pour the foundation to spec.
  2. Engineered building kit. The steel package is engineered for your use and loads.
  3. Erection. One team raises the structure.
  4. Interior finish-out. Offices, tenant improvements, and more.
  5. Close-out. One team, straight answers the whole way.

Metal vs. conventional

Not sure which fits? We'll tell you straight. Pre-engineered metal usually wins for warehouse, storage, and industrial space; conventional commercial construction makes more sense when you need a specific look or a complex interior. Compare the numbers in our Tri-Cities cost guide.
