　　Steel structure factory buildings primarily refer to structures where the main load-bearing components are made of steel, including steel columns, steel beams, foundations, steel roof trusses, and walls. Note that the walls of steel structures can also be maintained with brick walls.

　　Steel structure factory buildings possess the following characteristics:

　　1.Prefabricated Components: The components are manufactured in factories, reducing on-site workload, shortening construction duration, conserving resources, and minimizing pollution.

　　2.Reliable Quality and Precise Dimensions: Steel structure companies produce reliable quality components with precise dimensions, facilitating easy installation.

　　3.Lightweight and High Strength: The weight of steel structure houses is approximately half that of reinforced concrete; they meet the needs for large room sizes, increasing usable area by about 8% compared to reinforced concrete residences.

　　4.Recyclable Steel and Environmentally Friendly: Steel can be recycled, with minimal environmental impact during construction and demolition.

　　5.Safety and Reliability: Excellent seismic and wind resistance, with strong load-bearing capacity, capable of withstanding earthquakes up to magnitude 8.

　　Therefore, due to these characteristics, steel structure factory buildings are widely used in modern architectural engineering, suitable for both single-story large-span buildings and multi-story or high-rise structures. They can be applied to industrial factories, warehouses, office buildings, stadiums, etc., especially meeting the requirements of some large mechanical and electrical assembly enterprises and logistics company warehouses.

　　How to Assess the Cost of Steel Structure Factory Buildings?

　　There are three main factors that influence the cost of steel structure factory buildings: material costs, the span and height of the building, and other requirements for the building.

　　Firstly, material costs vary depending on the type of steel used. For example, the wall surface can be made of single-color tiles or sandwich panels, with varying thicknesses, coatings, insulation materials and thicknesses, the presence or absence of skylights, the bay and span of the building, the presence or absence of cranes, crane tonnage, etc., all contributing to the cost.

　　Secondly, the cost is closely related to the span and height of the building. For a building not exceeding 8 meters in height and 30 meters in span, with a 5-ton crane and insulated exterior walls, the cost would decrease.

　　Thirdly, the labor cost for constructing the factory building should be estimated based on local labor costs.
