Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA)

The Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA) has a new frequently asked questions (FAQ) sheet on building information (BIM) modeling for metal building systems. These FAQs answer a number of important questions about BIM. These include: What does my metal building manufacturer need to know about my BIM project? What do I need to know when bidding a job with BIM requirements? What is different about managing a project that uses BIM? What other resources are available to me if I want to learn more about BIM?

“Cladding for Durability” is a continuing education webinar sponsored by the Metal Construction Association (MCA). Specifying metal cladding for roof and siding can prove ideal in retrofits and is good opportunity for architects and designers to improve the overall durability and, ultimately, sustainability of a building. This AIA-approved webinar will explore several real-world retrofit projects that have included metal as an architectural feature for beauty and as a material meant to seriously defend the building from anything Mother Nature might throw at it. This course, which offers 1 AIA learning unit, is presented by D.J.

Need a new building? Why not metal? There are numerous reasons to use a metal building system for your next project. These include cost, design, flexibility, sustainability and speed of construction. Metal building systems are some of the most cost-effective structures available and can be designed and sourced through a single manufacturer. Because of their unique design, they are quick to erect and offer flexibility for future changes and additions. And metal is the most recycled material on the planet, making it highly sustainable.
