Space for Your Working Layout

Plan the building around equipment, storage and everyday movement. Your required floor space and access help determine the proposed frame layout, including whether a clear-span arrangement suits your project.

Hot rolled steel workshop interior with open floor space, roof lights and perimeter workbenches. A large industrial warehouse interior with a high arched metal roof, skylights, concrete floor, roll-up garage door, and shelving/workbenches along the side walls.

Your Requirements Shape the Specification

Building dimensions, location and intended use all influence the frame design. Tell us about planned mezzanines, equipment or other additional loads early so these can be considered in the specification.

Partially clad hot rolled steel building with a scissor lift and stacked cladding panels. A large steel warehouse structure under construction, featuring a dark gray steel frame, a concrete floor, a metal siding exterior, and construction equipment including a red scissor lift and stacked steel beams.

What Is a Hot Rolled Steel Building?

A hot rolled steel building uses structural sections, such as steel beams and columns, to form its main supporting frame. These sections are manufactured by rolling steel at high temperatures and are then fabricated into the components required for the building.

Hot rolled sections are commonly used in portal frame steel buildings. The terms describe different things: “hot rolled” refers to the steel sections, while “portal frame” describes how the columns and roof members work together.

The main frame may also use cold-formed roof purlins and wall rails to support the cladding. The appropriate combination depends on the building’s dimensions, loads and design.

Building Dimensions & Layout

Start with the floor area and usable internal height you need. We’ll discuss how the proposed frame, column positions and roof layout relate to your equipment, storage and working space.

Galvanised portal frame connections beneath pale roof panels and translucent rooflights. An empty industrial shed or warehouse interior with a metal truss roof structure, corrugated white walls, concrete floor, and multiple skylights showing blue sky.

Roof, Walls & Insulation

Discuss cladding and insulated roof and wall options around the building’s use. The selected systems need to work with the frame, openings and internal conditions required.

Grey steel workshop with an open roller shutter and separate personnel door. A large cold rolled steel building garage shed with dark gray corrugated siding, an open roll-up garage door, a concrete floor, and a smaller side door, photographed outdoors on a wet concrete surface under a cloudy sky.

Doors & Vehicle Access

Plan the size and position of vehicle doors, personnel doors and other openings. Access requirements should be considered alongside the frame and bracing layout.

Steel workshop interior with a storage mezzanine and metal staircase. A large industrial cold-rolled steel building warehouse interior with a concrete floor, metal truss roof, skylights, a raised metal mezzanine platform, stairs, shelving, and storage boxes.

Internal Layout & Mezzanines

Discuss mezzanine flooring, partial walls and brick or block walls where they suit your project. These features need to be considered within the building’s structural design, available height and intended use.

Concrete building base with anchor bolts and a parked excavator nearby. A large freshly poured concrete foundation slab on a construction site, surrounded by gravel, dirt, and a yellow excavator, with trees and a building in the background under an overcast sky.

Foundations & Groundworks

The frame and foundations need to work together. Discuss site conditions, levels and groundworks at the outset, and confirm who will provide the foundation design, preparation and construction.

Delivery & Installation

Choose supply-only or discuss installation as part of a wider package. Site access, unloading arrangements and the responsibilities of everyone involved should be agreed before delivery.

Hot Rolled Steel Building Questions

What is the difference between hot rolled and cold rolled steel buildings?

Hot rolled frames use sections produced by rolling steel at high temperatures. Cold rolled building systems use sections formed from steel sheet, typically into lighter profiles. The suitable system depends on the building’s dimensions, loads, layout and overall specification. We can discuss both options against your requirements.

Are hot rolled steel buildings the same as portal frame buildings?

The terms overlap but describe different things. Hot rolled refers to how the steel sections are made. Portal frame refers to the structural arrangement of columns and roof members. A hot rolled building can use a portal frame layout.

Can a hot rolled steel building have an open interior?

A clear-span design can provide floor space without internal supporting columns. Whether this is appropriate depends on the required span, height and loads. Confirm the usable space you need early, including clearance for equipment and vehicle movement.

Can I choose an insulated hot rolled steel building?

Yes, insulation can be discussed as part of the roof and wall specification. The appropriate construction depends on how the building will be used and any thermal or condensation-control requirements. Your quotation will identify the proposed cladding and insulation.

Can I order a supply-only hot rolled steel building kit?

Yes. Each kit is individually quoted, with structural calculations, GA plans and an interactive 3D drawing included. The quotation identifies the supplied components. You can use your chosen installation team or discuss installation support with Falcon.

How much does a hot rolled steel building cost?

The price depends on the building’s dimensions, frame specification, cladding, doors, location and services required. Foundations, delivery and installation also affect the overall project cost. Send us your requirements for an individual quotation with a clearly defined scope.
