EcoSteel is introducing a line of pre-fabricated steel building systems—all modern in design, low in cost, and available throughout North America now. As the world's leading supplier of pre-engineered and pre-fabricated steel building systems, EcoSteel is now offering modern designs in its single-family, multi-family and commercial building solutions through its green building systems.



Modern Building Systems

EcoSteel steel building systems are complete steel shell packages, ready for your interior customization. The pre-engineered and pre-fabricated EcoSteel building package includes a complete Insulated Steel Building System along with exterior doors, windows and trim.

EcoSteel's program is the undeniable leading force in steel prefab construction. EcoSteel leverages an existing manufacturing network of 13 primary shipping points across the U.S.  The pre-engineered and panelized steel systems are easily built by a commercial contractor. All of the steel components of an EcoSteel system are pre-cut, pre-drilled, and are clearly labeled which virtually eliminates mistakes and confusion typically associated with wood homebuilders venturing into steel construction.

Multi-Family Projects

EcoSteel building systems and Donmar Development, Corp. of Brooklyn, NY are joining forces to introduce a pre-engineered steel approach to construct modern multi-family, urban infill loft projects in New York City.  The EcoSteel system offers a unique solution to stage materials and crew in a limited footprint.  This panelized steel approach increases overall profitability by drastically reducing time of project completion.

The design and construction strategy increases overall energy efficiency and eliminates many layers of subcontractors typically required for a traditional construction process.  The first two EcoSteel/Donmar multi-family projects are located in Brooklyn, and have been designed by Scarano Architects, PLLC.

EcoSteel Details

The EcoSteel mission is to protect the Earth's natural resources by providing eco-friendly building systems that increase public awareness of environmental responsibility.

EcoSteel steel building systems provide instant housing and shelter solutions that are designed to easily ship and assemble virtually anywhere. EcoSteel steel building systems begin with an all steel insulated design, utilizing pre-engineered, pre-fabricated, pre-cut, pre-drilled, and pre-marked pieces by the factory. This allows builders to quickly and efficiently assemble the building system onsite. First-time kit builders can assemble the EcoSteel building package with readily available equipment and tools. Simply bolt the pre-fabricated frame to a slab foundation, screw on the pre-finished root and wall sheets, and attach doors, windows and trim. An EcoSteel steel building system will insure decades of maintenance free, energy efficient comfort and safety.

The EcoSteel steel building system is comparably priced to traditional wood construction, with many added benefits including:

  • Fast to build, energy efficient construction technology
  • Eco-friendly recyclable, renewable building materials
  • No need to cut down trees or use asphalt based shingles/tar paper
  • Construction material waste is drastically reduced
  • Superior structural strength, maintenance-free exterior panels
  • Virtually eliminates toxic mold, termites and fire hazards

Steel possesses the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any building material being utilized today. It remains one of the strongest, most durable and economically manufactured materials. No wonder 80% of all commercial buildings are constructed with steel as the primary structure. Stronger, straighter, non-combustible, longer lasting and many other characteristics contribute to the undeniable superiority of steel as a building material. With the dramatic current price advantage, there's no choice in residential construction...but steel!
