Are you planning to expand your production space but concerned about long construction times and high costs? Steel structure factory are the ideal solution for you. With their advantages of high strength, flexible design, and rapid installation, steel structures have become one of the most reliable building systems for constructing factories, workshops, and warehousing facilities. They not only significantly accelerate project completion but also provide high adaptability for future expansion.
K-HOME specializes in designing and manufacturing customized steel structure factory buildings that meet international standards, committed to meeting the diverse needs of clients in manufacturing, food processing, logistics, and heavy industry. With years of experience in international projects, K-HOME has become a trusted partner for global clients seeking efficient and reliable steel structure solutions.
What Is a Factory Steel Structure Building?
A factory steel structure is a type of modular building built mainly with steel columns and beams, usually enclosed with insulated wall panels or corrugated steel sheets. These buildings are widely adopted in industrial sectors because of their structural stability, ease of customization, and reduced construction time.
The steel used is typically high-quality galvanized Q235B, known for its corrosion resistance and long service life exceeding 50 years. Since components are pre-manufactured and assembled on-site, the overall construction timeline is shortened significantly compared to traditional methods. Additionally, the flexibility in layout and space planning allows businesses to design their workspaces more efficiently.
Key Components & Technical Specifications of steel structure factory
Most prefabricated steel structure factory buildings share similar structural elements. Understanding them helps clients know exactly what they are getting and helps K-HOME communicate more professionally during early discussions.
A factory steel structure is made of several key components that ensure strength, flexibility, and safety.
- Primary Frame: The backbone of a steel structure factory is the primary frame, composed of Q235/Q355 steel columns and beams. Clear spans range from 12–30 meters, and eave heights vary from 6–12 meters, accommodating machinery, production lines, and cranes.
- Secondary Frame: Includes C/Z-shaped purlins, bracing, and tie rods to support roof and walls, stabilize the structure, and allow easy installation of doors, windows, and skylights.
- Roof & Wall System: Made of color-steel sheets or insulated sandwich panels (EPS/PU/Rockwool), 50–100mm thick, providing thermal insulation, soundproofing, and energy efficiency.
- Foundation & Anchor Bolts: Concrete foundation with pre-embedded bolts connects columns securely, ensuring stability under heavy loads and machinery.
- Load Design: Designed to meet local wind, snow, seismic codes, and optional overhead crane loads. Safe for both live and dead loads, ensuring long-term durability. These specifications are what clients most often ask about and help K-HOME provide accurate quotes and reliable solutions.

Design Considerations for Factory Steel Structures
Good design is crucial for controlling costs, improving performance, and extending the lifespan of a factory steel structure. At K-HOME, we design every building based on the client’s project needs and local conditions.
Layout & Functional Planning
A well-planned layout considers production workflow, machinery height and load, forklift lanes, storage zones, and material flow for loading and unloading areas. These considerations ensure that the space is fully optimized for daily operations.
Span & Eave Height
Large spans and sufficient eave height create open, column-free spaces, which are ideal for assembly lines, vehicle or machine repair zones, and high-bay racking systems. This flexibility allows clients to adapt the building to their operational needs.
Crane Integration
For workshops requiring overhead cranes, the design incorporates crane runway beams, reinforced columns, and deflection control. These features ensure safety, structural stability, and smooth operation of crane systems.
Energy Efficiency
K-HOME integrates insulated wall and roof panels, natural ventilation, skylights, and environmental coatings. These energy-efficient solutions help reduce operating costs over the building’s lifecycle while maintaining a comfortable and safe working environment.
Future Expansion
The modular nature of a factory steel structure allows for fast extension, flexible space growth, and reconfiguration without damaging the existing structure. This adaptability is a major advantage for growing companies that may need to scale up operations in the future.
Price of Steel Structure Factory Buildings
Many clients ask about the cost of a factory steel structure building at the very beginning of a project. While the final price depends on specific design, size, and project requirements, the following ranges provide a general reference.
Price Reference (FOB China):
- Standard steel workshop: US$50–80 per m²
- With insulation panels or overhead cranes: US$70–120 per m²
- Heavy-duty or fully customised applications: US$120–200+ per m²
Factors Affecting the Cost:
Several key factors determine the final price of a factory steel structure:
- Steel price and weight: The type and amount of steel used is the biggest cost driver. High-grade steel or larger structures naturally increase cost.
- Span and eave height: Wider spans and taller eaves require stronger beams and columns, which add to material and fabrication costs.
- Wall and roof insulation: Insulated sandwich panels for cold storage or food-processing facilities cost more than standard color-steel sheets.
- Crane requirements: Overhead cranes need reinforced columns, crane rails, and specialized engineering, which increase costs.
- Foundation design: Soil conditions, seismic zones, and heavy-load requirements affect concrete foundation complexity and cost.
- Location and environmental loads: Wind, snow, or other climate factors may require additional structural reinforcement.
- Additional features: Number of doors, windows, mezzanine floors, and internal partitions all impact total cost.
