Pre-engineered means:
- Technologies that insure all structural pieces fit together thanks to pre-punching of primary and secondary structurals and most recently through the use of BIM technology.
- Pre-punching by Butler Mfg. means primary and secondary structurals go together quickly and effortlessly during the installation phase.
- BIM (Building Information Modeling) means that buildings are virtually built by the supplier (in our case Butler Manufacturing) prior to fabrication.
- BIM allows for the sharing of data across the domains of construction building the road map to a building.
- BIM resolves conflicts that can occur in the field before a building system ever leaves the plant.
- BIM insures faster project delivery, improved quality and lower costs.
- BIM is "green".
Pre-engineered buildings that Anderson-Ashton has designed and built in the past 3 years include the following:

Flight for Life - Crites Field

While these are good examples of our pre-engineered building work, it is still difficult to convince municipalities to open up to the pre-engineered building idea. I have one more link that I would like to share that I would appreciate anyone reading this to spread around to building owners, developers, brokers, and municipal leaders.
This link: http://butlermfg.com/includes/download.asp?type=literature&id=1003
to a quarterly newsletter put out by Butler Mfg. highlights excellent examples of pre-engineered buildings that would fit in any municipality.
If you know a planner or community development director from the Milwaukee Metro area let them know that there are building types that can be built for less, look good, and fit into any "Municipal Green Initiative".
