Future Steel Buildings

FUTURE BUILDINGS is one of the leading Canadian manufacturers of custom-designed steel buildings in North America and around the world. With collectively hundreds of years of design and engineering experience in-house, including a state-of-the-art production facility, it has established itself as a supplier of choice for many of the big names in the mining industry. Future Buildings also has established a large footprint in commercial sectors that include all areas of government, agriculture, military, transport and energy.

Mining companies and their engineering firms or contractors come to Future Buildings looking for clear span steel structures to use for everything from mineral storage, well shelters, mine caps as well as conveyor belt covers, maintenance buildings, garages and personnel facilities.
Many projects have been awarded to Future Buildings because of project knowledge and the relevant expertise of the team in these critical areas:

• Schedule Impact - planning for sufficient project turn-around time
• Cost Analysis - adhering to the budget and ensuring a cost-efficient structure that is designed to code
• State-of-the-art Engineering - producing and sending code-compliant Engineered Drawings quickly and efficiently

Additional Safety Factors - understanding when any special structural requirements are necessary and their impact to the bottom-line

Designed for strength, durability and performance, Future Buildings work for:

• ore concentrate storage
• processing materials storage
• maintenance structures
• personnel facilities
• garages
• equipment/machinery storage
• spare part storage
• well shelters
• mine caps
• conveyor belt covers
• electrical and switch housing

Because of the large number of mining jobs specifically in Quebec, Future Buildings has its own valuable resource in that it is equipped with a fully bilingual in-house technical and engineering support team. They are accredited engineers, familiar with all regions, who are able to provide sealed, certified drawings compliant with local building codes.

The size of Future Buildings and its infrastructure is one of its greatest competitive advantages. It is a large enough company to set the bar for new technological advances , having produced the world's widest clear span arch building ever erected - yet it is small enough to operate with an all-department focus to meet a client's tricky design request or seemingly impossible delivery deadline.

For a client, it comes down to a professional reliability and assurance that Future Buildings will complete the project estimate timely and accurately and that the building itself will be delivered to spec, on-time and on-budget.

The specialists in Future Building's commercial department are proud to have developed some of the most creative structural solutions for their mining clients - a building designed to be an underground cafeteria - another structure erected on stilts so that it could be built directly on bedrock - fully transportable buildings that could be moved from one well site to another. Future Buildings has also delivered to some of the most remote, limited access locations in the world - northern Russia for example. This speaks volumes about Future Building's commitment to quality assurance, logistics and shipping protocols, even when some projects are somewhat challenging.
