Spherical Structures
If you have ever built one, you know that there is a lot going on in a spherical steel structure. Spherical Steel Structures has the technology, the geometrical skills and experience to make your spherical steel structure right the first time. We are often asked to design spherical steel structures for many different applications. With our experience and manufacturing ability, we can meet our customer's needs.
Spherical Steel Structures has been fabricating steel for four generations and has established itself as the innovative leader in capabilities and methods related to spherical steel structures. Since 1972, we have specialized in light gauge steel and structural steel spherical structures and components. Not everyone does it ... not everyone should.
Delivering a quality product can only be accomplished by having a steel fabricating shop and an architectural facility. Having great depth in both equipment and capacity, Spherical Steel Structures offers the experience, technology, and skills required to meet your challenges and critical deadlines. It is our goal to make your life easier by providing a high standard of quality and service.
Our combination of experience and equipment offers you a wide range of solutions and capacities in creating spherical steel structures for builders, architects and home owners. Whatever your need, whether large projects or small components. We can manufacture and build to your exacting standards.
The spherical steel structures we make are pre-engineered kits. After the parts are manufactured, all individual components are packaged and delivered to your sight. The advantage of a pre-engineered kit is that it's economical to deliver and can be carried in manageable pieces. Our structures are designed and engineered so a do-it-yourselfer, with no special tools or skills, can assemble it. It is our commitment to make sure we provide the best possible spherical steel structures in the industry. At Spherical Steel Structures, your project is not complete until we achieve your requirements.
This firm's specialty is spherical shaped light gauge steel structures for any use, with the ability of being independent, self-sustaining habitats. Spherical Steel Structures is a diversified full-service manufacture and building contractor. Offering the most affordable light gauge steel housing kits for the do-it-yourselfer or for turnkey custom homes . From consultation to engineering and design of your building plans, to the manufacturing and prefabrication of your building kit.
Spherical Steel Structures manufacturers single-family homes, condominium units, multi-family homes and commercial structures. We take pride in the quality of the components which have been selected to be included in our spherical steel structures. Spherical Steel Structures main goal and inspiration is to build a better way of life with the use of modern materials and innovative designs.Spherical Steel Structures continues to design and build affordable housing for as many people as possible and believes each family deserves the opportunity to participate in home ownership.

The misconception has been around for many years and originated for many reasons. First, the quality of lumber was much better in past years than it is today and it was much cheaper. Second, wood framers who attempted to build light gauge steel frame structures, with no knowledge as to the structural strength of light gauge steel used an enormous amount of steel in their structures than was necessary.
Not understanding how strong steel is, they built their structures the same way they would with wood. The result was an enormous waste of materials and a very expensive structure. Given these two reasons one can see where the misconception that steel frame structures where more expensive than wood arose. But this is no longer the case
For four generations, Spherical Steel Structures has been designing, fabricating and building energy-efficient, housing and transportation. This web site has been created to share some of the great architectural ideas of the past and present in the hope of exciting your imagination with alternative modern ideas that take advantage of the strength and efficiency of spherical steel structures.
Bringing the technology and beauty of commercial architecture to the residential building industry with new innovative materials and designs to create affordable, energy efficient, steel structures.

Over the years, as you may have noticed, the cost of lumber has grown greatly while the quality of lumber has reduced significantly. Due to both the dwindling resource of first growth large trees used for quality wood studs and the environmental movement which is limiting the availability of forests to timber, wood prices skyrocket while the quality of wood dwindles. Steel prices on the other hand have remained consistent.
The result is that wood prices creep ever closer to the price of steel offering consumers a viable choice for the type framing to use in their structures. Furthermore, steel greatly outperforms wood in building construction and its quality, there are many benefits a steel frame structure offers an owner or builder.
Since wood prices fluctuate often, while steel prices remain consistent, an actual price difference is difficult to determine. But the difference in price should never be great. Given the performance and quality, a steel frame structure is a better LONG TERM VALUE for the consumers money than purchasing an inferior lower quality wood frame structure. In regards of value a steel frame home is a good deal.
Light Gauge Steel
At a project's inception, Spherical Steel Structures works with architects, builders and home owners who seek experienced insights into light gauge steel construction methods. Ways to build, lighter, stronger, fire-rated, termite-resistant, safer buildings, built to last. Structural steel or wood framing is not their only option - and in many cases is an inferior choice.
