About Our Process
The Galbraith Metal Building Systems Difference
For more than 60yrs the GALBRAITH family has been a premier supplier and erector of metal building systems (pre-engineered metal buildings) in the Mid-Atlantic region. It started in the early 1960s when we utilized ARMCO and Steelox Building Systems products. Our intimate knowledge of the history, and pioneer days, of the metal building industry positions us as an industry leader in providing our clients with a building that suits all of their needs.
Our founding principles based on pre-construction services couples seamlessly with our knowledge of the pre-engineered metal building industry, in order to form the foundation of our design build capabilities. Coupling the fast track nature of metal building systems, along with the fast track nature of the design build delivery method, makes for a streamlined process for our clients.
We are proud to be a Certified Butler Builder, recognizing Butler’s position as one of the pioneers of the metal building industry. GALBRAITH and Butler’ company culture of customer-centered, design build, collaborative approaches make for a very efficient team.
About Our Process
Pioneering Innovations
Butler was first to market with game-changing innovations like the world’s first weathertight standing-seam metal roof. It was the result of thousands of hours of planning, testing, designing, failing, trying again and achieving breakthroughs. Butler is a company that never stops building. No matter the building location. No matter the building challenge.
You benefit because Butler’s digital tools give GALBRAITH a better line of sight on all the building shell components. From the initial design to the tracking of your order shipment, to accessing electronic erection drawings, GALBRAITH will have the tools we need to help mitigate project challenges.
Helping you achieve the speed of construction you need is a top priority. That’s why GALBRAITH uses the design-build construction method for single-source responsibility and greater control. In addition, many of Butler’s product innovations from structural systems design to insulation systems and insulation support systems deliver significant time savings and minimize field labor costs.

To maximize your building’s functionality, floor space flexibility is mandatory. Butler developed a structural system that can achieve the longest bay sizes in the industry, to help keep interior columns from getting in your way and increase usable space. Plus, its factory-punched chords speed up installation.
Butler’s latest insulation system helps achieve increasingly stringent energy code requirements with noticeably faster installation times. Its above-the-purlin design allows for better blanket insulation performance and improved accessibility to other building systems.
About Our Process
The Peace of Mind from a Simplified Supply Chain
Your entire project can be designed, engineered, and manufactured by Butler to provide unlimited flexibility to fit your design needs. Using Galbraith’s fast-track design-build construction services, you are able to occupy your facility well ahead of standard construction timelines. Galbraith’s approach alleviates anxiety caused by the coordination and interaction of disciplines required to achieve a finished structure.
How to Keep Your Lifetime Costs Low
Studies have shown that only 10% of a building’s lifetime cost is in the initial construction budget. 90% of the total cost of building ownership is in the operating budget to pay for lighting, heating, cooling, and maintenance. Considering the impact of operating costs in the pre-construction stage allows you to focus on the total building operating cost.
Benefits of a Butler Building
Sustainable Steel
Steel is one of the most sustainable construction methods available for large metal buildings in a variety of markets. Your steel building will be built using recycled steel, which can be recycled again at the end of its useful life.
Eliminate Roof Issues
The MR-24® Roof System is the most specified standing-seam roof system on the market, with more than 2 billion square feet installed worldwide. The durable yet flexible MR-24® roof system has unique design features that together accommodate roof movement under temperature fluctuations. This mobility prevents stress at the clips, fasteners, and panel splice that could otherwise make the building vulnerable to leaks and wind damage.
Performance, Protection, Possibilities
Butler roofing and re-roofing systems provide a complete solution to meet the most critical concerns of architects, builders, and building owners. Our Retrofit Roof systems provide metal-over-metal or slope build-up options that are fully engineered to meet the requirements of the most stringent performance standards, while minimizing disruption to your facility’s daily operations.
