Steel Building Engineering & Design Coordination
From custom PEMB design to full-scale steel erection, we deliver complete building systems with unmatched control and consistency.
M2 Steel Systems brings a vertically integrated approach to PEMB delivery, offering design support, steel system supply, and in-house erection crews for projects of any size and complexity.
Optimize Your PEMB Project Before Materials Ever Hit the Site
Engineering & design coordination is one of the most important stages in any pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) project. When done properly, it eliminates costly field issues, accelerates schedules, and ensures the structure is fully optimized for pre-engineered efficiencies. At M2 Steel Systems, we work directly with architects, engineers, developers, and owners to design steel building systems that perform, fit, and assemble exactly as intended.
Our team brings years of PEMB experience into the earliest phases of a project, helping you avoid design disconnects, reduce RFIs, and prevent the change orders that often occur when PEMB is treated like a traditional structural system. We work hands-on with every stakeholder to ensure your building layout, loads, reactions, sequences, and structural requirements are aligned from day one.
A Smarter Approach to PEMB Design
Unlike general contractors or brokers who simply pass drawings to the manufacturer, M2 takes a proactive role in shaping the design. We coordinate between all parties, identify opportunities for value engineering, and ensure the structure leverages the built-in efficiencies of pre-engineered steel.
Early Design Alignment
We collaborate directly with architects and engineers to ensure the building concept is properly oriented for PEMB efficiencies. This includes structural spacing, bay layouts, clear-span requirements, roof slopes, load paths, and panel configuration.
Value Engineering for Cost & Schedule
Because PEMB systems have unique structural properties, certain adjustments can significantly reduce material usage and erection time. We identify these opportunities early so the project can be optimized before plans are finalized.
Load Evaluation & Foundation Requirements
We work closely with engineering teams to evaluate design loads, wind/seismic requirements, collateral loads, crane loading (when applicable), and building reactions that impact the foundation. This reduces structural conflicts and minimizes revisions later.
Site Condition Review
Site variables like drainage, elevation changes, utilities, and access impact both design and erection. M2 evaluates these factors to ensure the steel system is compatible with the real-world environment.
Budget Pricing & Schedule Guidance
Our preconstruction team provides realistic, PEMB-specific budget numbers and timeline expectations so your project can be properly planned and financed.
Preliminary Anchor Bolt Plans
We assist with early anchor bolt plan preparation, anchor bolt reactions, and coordination with foundation engineering to ensure structural alignment and avoid the delays that occur when anchor bolts don’t match the steel package.
The Result — Fewer Problems, Faster Mobilization, Better Certainty
When PEMB design coordination is done well, it sets up the entire project for success. Working with M2 ensures:
- Fewer change orders due to early alignment
- Fewer RFIs because structural conflicts are addressed before fabrication
- Faster mobilization thanks to streamlined procurement and clear anchor bolt plans
- Better cost certainty with accurate early budgeting
- Better field performance because the building is designed around real-world erection conditions
Our process is built to minimize breakdowns and maximize predictability.
Why Choose M2 for PEMB Design Coordination?
Because we don’t just supply steel — we erect it.
Our hands-on field experience gives us unique insight into what works, what doesn’t, and what causes delays. This practical knowledge shapes our design coordination approach so your building is more efficient, more accurate, and easier to erect.
With M2, your PEMB design is built around manufacturing efficiency, structural integrity, and real-world constructability — giving you a stronger project from the ground up.
