Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings for Commercial, Industrial and Agricultural Use.

Yes. Tower supplies steel building systems manufactured by a company certified to CSA A660 for the applicable steel building system scope.
CSA A660 establishes quality-assurance requirements for steel building system manufacturers, including engineering procedures, personnel, material control, fabrication, documentation, packaging, shipping and erection information.

CSA A660 certification does not replace project-specific engineering, foundation coordination, development approval, building permits, trade permits or other requirements that may apply to the property.

The certified manufacturer and applicable building-system scope should be identified accurately in the final project documentation.

Tower provides steel buildings for commercial facilities, industrial operations, warehouses, workshops, truck and fleet garages, farm and equipment storage, aircraft hangars, private garages, riding arenas, cold-storage facilities, mining operations and other custom applications.

The building should be planned around its actual use. Vehicle clearances, equipment, storage height, loading requirements, public access, heating, offices, washrooms, cranes, mezzanines and mechanical systems can affect the framing, foundation, permits and price.

Defining these requirements before engineering begins helps prevent later changes to openings, structural reactions, foundations and project documents.

Yes. Tower’s primary offering is the engineered steel building and the components and documentation identified in the quotation.

Customers are not required to purchase foundation installation, erection or turnkey construction with every project. These additional services may be available separately depending on the location, building type, site conditions, contractor availability and schedule.

The quotation should identify whether Tower is supplying the steel building only or coordinating delivery, foundation work, erection or broader construction services. Work that is not identified in the confirmed project scope should not be assumed to be included.

Yes. Tower provides printed structural and foundation drawings for the confirmed steel building and stated project scope.

The structural drawings may identify the building geometry, framing system, structural design criteria, reactions, column locations, base plates and anchor information. The foundation drawings communicate the concrete design requirements associated with the confirmed building and stated design basis.

Site-specific soil conditions, groundwater, grading, drainage, elevations or geotechnical recommendations may require additional information or drawing revisions.

A complete permit application may also require site, architectural, fire-safety, accessibility, energy, mechanical, electrical or plumbing documentation.

Yes. Tower steel buildings are engineered using the confirmed project location, intended use, importance category, dimensions, openings and applicable structural design criteria.

Depending on the building, the engineering may address snow, wind, rain, snow drifting, seismic effects, collateral loads, mezzanines, cranes, solar equipment and other specified loads.

A building should be designed for its actual property and operation rather than for a broad Canadian region.

The responsible municipal or provincial authority makes the final permit decision, and the foundation must remain coordinated with the current structural reactions and building configuration.

Most permanent steel building projects in Canada require a building permit, development approval or both.

Requirements depend on the province, municipality, property, intended use, building size, setbacks, access, servicing and site conditions. Separate approvals may also apply to driveways, culverts, wetlands, septic systems, plumbing, electrical work, fuel systems or regulated equipment.

Tower provides printed structural and foundation drawings and related steel-building-system information within the confirmed project scope. These documents can support the permit application, but they do not guarantee approval.

The permit authority may also require site plans, architectural information, energy documents, servicing details and other professional designs. The complete submission requirements should be confirmed with the responsible authority.

Warranty coverage depends on the structural components, roof and wall panels, paint or coating system, accessories, installation scope and project agreement.

Selected panel finishes may include a 40-year paint and colour warranty. Structural components, accessories, coatings and construction services may have different coverage periods, maintenance requirements, exclusions and claim procedures.

The quotation and applicable warranty documents should identify the exact coverage provided for the selected building, including the owner’s maintenance, installation and claim responsibilities.
