Our construction methods using steel systems give you an enormous variety of options to suit your exact need for virtually any type of low-rise commercial building. You can design the interior space to meet your unique business requirements and at the same time choose a custom exterior for esthetic appeal or desired image.
Our steel systems construction products include frames, roofs, walls, and panels, as well as finishes and accessories. All are precisely manufactured to meet or exceed the highest standards of testing and certification.
Using a proprietary, state-of-the-art computer system, we design your project’s systems and components to meet your exact specifications. The pre-engineered materials are then delivered to the construction site ready to be assembled using high-strength, bolted connections.
For a final touch, you can create just the look you want for your building with an exterior of glass, masonry, metal, stone or numerous other cladding materials.
From agricultural to industrial facilities, Sims Construction has the products, the expertise, and the experience to help ensure the success of your project.

• Construction time cycles are often up to 1/3 less than other methods, resulting in faster occupancy and quicker return on owner investment.
• Insulated roof and wall systems can significantly reduce HVAC costs.
Other benefits include:
• Simplified design and code process
• Faster project estimating
• One-source coordination with streamlined delivery
• Reduced maintenance and diminished deterioration, cracking, rot, and insect damage
