Built for Central Alabama’s Climate

Our metal buildings Birmingham are optimized for resilience against tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, and ice storms—the defining challenges of the Birmingham area.

  • High Wind-Load Capacity for Tornado Resistance

    With a risk of EF1-EF4 tornadoes, our buildings are engineered for 130+ mph wind loads (Exposure C) with braced frames, heavy-duty anchoring, and standing seam roofs to resist uplift and lateral forces—essential for safety in tornado-prone areas like Birmingham.

  • Impact-Resistant Cladding for Hail Protection

    Spring and summer bring large hail. We recommend Galvalume® or G-90 galvanized steel panels with reinforced wall connections to minimize damage from hail impacts and ensure long-term structural integrity.

  • Thermal Breaks for Year-Round Temperature Control

    Winter brings freezing temperatures and ice storms. Our insulation systems include thermal breaks to prevent heat loss and condensation buildup, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency during cold snaps and hot summers.

Birmingham-Specific Engineering Standards

All structures comply with Alabama State Building Code and ASCE 7-22 for humid subtropical environments with severe storm risk.
