Architectural Specifications

Every VMI Cold-Formed Building is engineered for durability and built to meet structural requirements from the ground up.

Our buildings aren’t just strong — they’re ready for the real world, with load calculations and stamped drawings that simplify the permitting process in nearly every U.S. state.

We work closely with your team to ensure that every design meets local codes and performance standards, so you’re not left chasing paperwork or reworking plans down the line.
 

From wind and snow loads to seismic requirements, VMI buildings are prepared to stand up to whatever conditions you face.
