Two Floors Steel Building

JDCC offers great flexibility in options and accessories for your building, including a variety of 2-storey steel building options. Whether you want a cupola, extended overhangs, a wainscoting accent, a really steep roof, let us show you how easy we make it.
Typically, the design of a two-story building begins with the initial design of a building, but if the original design is for a single-story building, you can still build it as if more floors will be added in the future.
Plan as if you are constructing a multi-story building as you determine the building specifications.
Consider the possibility of steel construction expansion at a future date and design a stronger basis and structure when choosing grids and performing preliminary sizing.
A structural steel framed building is a good choice for many reasons. Steel is a very strong material with
a high strength to weight ratio, and as it is shop fabricated, it lends itself to maintaining tight tolerances.
Steel framed buildings also give designers and engineers flexibility when it comes to design and layout,
while also giving the owner a range of options depending on their needs. Steel beams and columns are
the main components of almost all structural steel frames, and are used to carry and distribute loads for
the entire building. Steel decking is used for floors, usually in conjunction with a concrete topping. Such
a system is known as composite decking. Steel decking is also used for the roof deck, though typically
not with a concrete topping, unless a heavier than usual load is anticipated, sometimes for things such
as a green roof or for future vertical expansion. There are different types of connections, either bolted
or welded, and various types of miscellaneous steel plates, bracings, angles and channels that will
complete the system.
