If You've Spec'd A PEMB Before
Most Contractors
Get PEMB Wrong.
Here's How.
Pre-engineered metal buildings look standardized — but the difference between Butler and the rest, between a properly engineered structure and one that doesn't accommodate your use, is the difference between a productive facility and a regret.
Wrong-Spec Structure
Building engineered for the wrong wind zone, snow load, or seismic category. Bay spacing doesn't fit racking. Dock heights don't match modern trailers. You retrofit before tenant move-in.
Foundation & Site Mismatches
Pad elevations off. Anchor bolt placement wrong. Concrete strength under-specified. The Butler arrives on-site and the slab can't accept it.
Skin & Finish Failures
Wrong insulation system for use. Storefront glass off-spec. Door packages don't match operations. The shell is up but the building can't be occupied as planned.
Why PEMB Owners Choose Timeless
Butler. Built
By Timeless.
Timeless Construction holds an exclusive Butler Manufacturing dealer franchise for four coastal North Carolina counties. Butler is the most engineered, longest-warranted PEMB system in North America and we are the only firm in our territory certified to design, sell, and erect Butler systems.
Butler's MR-24 standing seam roof carries a 25-year weathertightness warranty the longest in the industry and transferable to a future owner. Combined with Butler's heavy-gauge structural steel and pre-engineered precision, the system delivers economic large-format construction that conventional builds can't match on cost or schedule.
Our design-build model brings the Butler engineers, our civil engineers, MEP, and construction team under one contract. We self-perform site work under our NC HUC license eliminating the schedule risk of a civil subcontractor on the critical path.
