 For 100 years, Butler Manufacturing™ has maintained a reputation for quality in the building industry. Using only the best materials and
innovative procedures, it is able to provide our customers with buildings that will look as great as they perform for years and years to come.
Butler Manufacturing™ has remained the industry leader in systems construction (often referred to as “pre-engineered”) for more than 60
years. Systems construction offers many efficiencies versus conventional construction methods, while still enabling buildings to be built to the
same specifications and similar architectural design parameters as conventional buildings.
Every Butler® building is custom designed, using state-of-the-art engineering software, to meet the customers’ exact specifications. Systems
construction simply means that all structural parts are engineered and fabricated in the factory, as opposed to requiring field modifications.
This allows Butler to add significant efficiencies in construction.

why does it have good quality?

Butler Manufacturing™ offers a systems construction approach that is more economical and faster to erect, requiring fewer parts than other building
systems. Some manufacturers require labor-intensive tasks for their building systems. Butler’s approach to systems construction demonstrates a SIMPLER,
FASTER, and BETTER method for building project. To keep the quality, it is using:
• Advanced computer modeling enables the optimal use of raw materials
• Precision engineering, including factory-punched structural, assures accuracy and speed in assembly and reduced labor
• Butler® buildings today are used for a wide variety of applications, including office complexes, churches, recreational facilities, medical
buildings, and more
Butler Manufacturing™ also conducts several research and testing to keep its quality:
Structural Strength Research
The structural integrity of a building cannot be taken for granted. Not only must each component meet certain minimum strength requirements, but
the combination of those components into a complete structural, roof or wall system must also be certifiably strong, without over
designing. Component and system strength are studied with a variety of full scale tests.
Load Testing The Reaction Beam is designed to allow load tests on frames, beams, trusses and more complex structures. The Reaction Beam is large
enough to conduct full scale tests. Seventy feet long, three feet deep and weighing 300 pounds per foot, the beam is embedded in four feet
of reinforced concrete. This testing apparatus can be used to measure vertical (snow) and horizontal (wind) loads, strains and resultant stresses, and
deflections. This versatile research tool has enabled to offer a variety of structurally sound building systems unmatched in the industry.
Roof and Wall System - Load Testing The ability of roof and wall systems to withstand the forces of wind and snow conditions is vitally important.
In order to offer the building buyer reliable systems, extensive pressure and wind up-lift tests are conducted in a 12’ by 23’ test chamber. By applying
forces to the roof or wall section, this apparatus can simulate snow loads or the force of winds up to 200 mph. Designed to meet and surpass UL
requirements and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers test specifications, this equipment has allowed to offer UL Class 90 ratings for all roof systems and
meet the requirements for larger full scale roof testing.
Pilot Model Test Area Full scale structures are erected for research and development. New components and structural modifications are tested,
as well as new construction techniques. It is within this area that drawing board concepts are tested. Because of this research, new
techniques, materials and systems are released to the marketplace only after they have been fully assembled, analyzed and tested.

why does it have good quality?
The reasons for its popularity are based in its sleek and elegant looks as well as its durability and thermal performance. COLORBOND® steel is available
in a range of 22 contemporary colors, which celebrate the natural beauty of the Australian landscape. COLORBOND® steel captures the light and energy
that make Australia’s colours so unique. With 22 inspired colour choices ranging from traditional to contemporary, COLORBOND® steel provides the
ideal palette from which to create the desired look and feel for home and garden.
