From a pile of steel framework to a stunning wedding venue, Worldwide can help make your perfect building come to life.

A large, black 30x60x10 rectangular warehouse with a gray metal roof stands prominently. It features two sets of windows on the left and a standard door flanked by four garage doors on the right, embodying a hybrid design under a partly cloudy sky, nestled in a grassy expanse.

From the Ground Up

A construction site with two cranes lifting materials to build a large barn. The frame of the barn is partially erected. The sky is overcast, and surrounding trees have reddish leaves.

Secondary Wood Framing

70’ Wide x 100’ Long

Gambrel Trusses

A construction site with a large crane lifting a metal beam to build a steel frame structure. A worker in a green lift assists with the assembly. The sky is partly cloudy, and there is a building in the background.

Gambrel rooflines use a combination of two different pitches on each side of the structure, with a gentle slope above a steep angle. This roof style maximizes interior space near the roof while still allowing precipitation to roll off the building efficiently and effectively.

Primary Framework

A large green warehouse building with a gabled roof is situated on a grassy field, blending hybrid architectural elements. It features multiple large garage doors and small windows on the sides. The sky is partly cloudy, suggesting a sunny day. Ref#060644 marks this unique structure.

This classic style barn design goes back decades when farmers needed space for hay storage in the upper loft area. A century later, we are still designing gambrel style barns, now fabricated and constructed with American steel.

Gambrel building kits from WWSB are more resistant to corrosion, weather damage, fire, and standard wear and tear. Overall, the pricing of a steel gambrel frame building will beat traditional construction in the long-term. Lower construction costs, lower maintenance costs, same classic design as your Grandpa’s barn!

There’s not a lot of companies out there that offer such a unique building kit, but we can provide this option because we build our own trusses in our own facility.

Secondary Framing

The image shows the wooden frame of a large building under construction against a clear blue sky. Piles of wooden beams are stacked on the ground in the foreground. The structure is situated on a gravel-covered area.

Once you have your columns and trusses set, you can begin the secondary framing of the roof and sidewalls. The Grahams chose to use wood as the material for their girts and purlins instead of metal, making it a hybrid.

Concrete Foundation

Construction workers wearing helmets and high-visibility clothing are pouring and spreading concrete on the floor of a large, open-sided building. The structure has a metal frame, and trees are visible in the background.

Concrete can be done after the main structure of the building has been erected. The Graham’s installed all the plumbing before the concrete was poured.

Sheet Metal Roofing

Interior view of a large, open steel-framed structure under construction with clear blue skies visible through the incomplete walls. A crane is visible outside, and the ground is covered with dirt. Trees can be seen in the background.

With a gambrel roofline, the bottom sections need to be installed first so that water runs off the upper roofing sections and flows over the bottom section without penetrating the roof.

Partial Mezzanine

A spacious, under-construction room with a high ceiling and chandeliers. A large wooden staircase leads to a balcony. Construction materials and tools are scattered on the concrete floor. Two people stand on the balcony observing the space.

Open Staircases leading up to the Secondary Level

A large garage with a black truck parked in the center features shelving and toolboxes lining the walls. Red and blue tractors stand on either side, reminiscent of a Carolina Tube Leg design. Various tools and boxes are scattered throughout, while high ceilings with lights create a homey atmosphere.

Lighting Effects

High ceilings allow for lots of windows! Placement of windows based on sun exposure can provide natural light to create a unique ambiance at certain times of the day and also in the evening if you install lights around the perimeter.

A large hall with high ceilings, featuring a wall of tall windows letting in natural light. Several ornate chandeliers hang from the ceiling. Construction equipment, including a JCB lift, is on the unfinished floor.

Customizations

The Grahams chose to sprinkle wood accents throughout the space. Solid wood doors always bring character and authenticity to a space that is built to attract and impress.
