Retail, office, showroom and service buildings engineered for your site, made in Canada and quoted in Canadian dollars.
Built for business
Commercial Buildings Built Around Your Business
Commercial steel buildings from Global give you wide, open floor space for retail, offices, showrooms, auto shops and service businesses. Steel framing lets you plan your layout around customers, staff and equipment instead of working around interior columns.
Every building is engineered to your local code and site loads, manufactured in Canada and priced in Canadian dollars. There are no import duties, no tariffs and no surprises between quote and delivery.

Benefits
Why Choose Steel for Your Commercial Building
-
Faster to open
Pre-engineered components are fabricated before they reach your site, so construction moves faster than conventional methods. That means you can open, or start collecting rent, sooner.
-
Lower long-term costs
Steel doesn't rot, warp or attract pests. Factory-finished panels need little upkeep, and insulated wall and roof systems help control heating and cooling costs.
-
Flexible layouts
Clear-span framing gives you open floor space that's easy to reconfigure as your business changes.
-
Room to grow
Steel buildings can be extended by adding bays when you need more space.
-
A professional look
Choose from a range of colours, wainscot, canopies and exterior design options so your building fits your brand.
