The key challenge remains: how do you design a building so that its raw industrial character works with the prestige look of the offices?
Planning and analysis – the first step to success
Every successful investment begins with a phase in which a detailed production building design must take into account the specifics of the given industry. As general contractor, at MatBud we place great emphasis on the preliminary stage, in which we analyse not only the required dimensions but also the ground conditions and the investor's target budget. For combined buildings, we have to decide at the outset whether the office area will be partitioned off within the main structure or form an adjoining modular section.
By using technology based on hot-rolled IPE I-beams, the production buildings we offer provide enormous layout flexibility. Clear spans of 8.6 m to as much as 22 m in duo-pitch structures mean that both spacious machine halls and two-storey office modules can be freely planned inside the building. A robust structure, on which we give a 10-year warranty on the zinc coating, guarantees safety for employees in both areas.
Construction technology and a prestige appearance
Many investors fear that a steel building will not be prestigious enough to serve as a company headquarters. Nothing could be further from the truth. Modern industrial buildings delivered by MatBud are finished with attractive sandwich panels. This allows smooth façades in a wide range of colours. It is these panels, which we wrote about in more detail in the article Sandwich panel or trapezoidal sheet, that make the project a visual success. Thanks to them, the building gains a modern, professional look that builds trust among business partners visiting the plant.
Examples of our projects, such as the 1200 m² production building in Grodzisk Mazowiecki or the building in Kraków of over 1080 m², show that precisely matching the length and height of the building to the investor's processes goes hand in hand with impeccable aesthetics. In addition, if your production requires heavy equipment, we can deliver buildings prepared for overhead cranes, as we demonstrated on the project in Szczekociny, among others.
Building a production facility – the costs and benefits of a “turnkey” investment
When considering the costs of building a production facility, it is worth taking a long-term view. The general contracting model offered by MatBud covers everything: from the foundations, through the transport of all components, to the installation of doors and windows and finishing. The investor does not have to waste time coordinating several crews, which genuinely reduces indirect costs. What's more, our structures are hot-dip galvanised for the price of painted ones, which is a rarity on the market and eliminates future maintenance costs.
If you are wondering where to start, the best step is to use our configurator online, which will let you make a preliminary budget estimate. Remember that our systems are modular, which means you can easily extend the office and the building in the future when your business starts to grow.
FAQ
Is a steel building “quiet” enough for office staff?
Using the appropriate thickness of sandwich panels ensures excellent acoustic insulation, separating machinery noise from the office area.
What are the maximum dimensions of a duo-pitch building?
We can build a building up to 22 m wide and up to 120 m long.
Do you help with obtaining a building permit?
Yes, we take care of all the documentation and building designs.
How long does the construction take?
The whole process usually takes between 3 and 6 months.
