Metal Building Basics

Donna May, president of Cross Metal Buildings, addresses the basics of metal building materials, design and workmanship. May demystifies the flow of construction by discussing industry jargon, the materials used at each stage, the task of working with other trades, scheduling, and the organization of metal building construction.

We understand lives get busy and sometimes finishing an entire lesson in one sitting is not an option. You will have 6 full months to view the lesson.
