HEAVY GAUGE METAL FRAMING
CONSTRUCTION UPDATE As it has been two months since our last update, there have been a lot of items constructed and completed with the new building, most of which are pretty visible. We hope you are enjoying seeing what new items were done each week! Pioneer Construction has wrapped up the PEMB (Pre-Engineered Metal Building). Steel has been final detailed and inspected. All of the IMPs (Insulated Metal Panels) are installed. The Simple Saver roof system has also been completed with roof insulation and metal deck.

Metal framing is 95% complete, which was no small task! The west and north connectors are framed as well as the south main entrance. The majority of the walls inside are also framed. Exterior wall sheathing and Tyvek are installed. The roof deck and roofing have been finished at the non-PEMB portions. Electrical, mechanical, plumbing & fire protection rough-ins have been well underway and are almost complete. Many of the overhead conduits were installed above the Simple Saver as to not be seen. Site grading, seeding, shrub & tree plantings have been finished over a good portion of the site. Concrete sidewalks and the top coat of asphalt are also all completed.
FUN FACT Simple Saver is being used for this building for many qualities that it has. First is the finished product. Simple Saver is the finished look you will see at the bottom side of the roof. For this building it is a black canvas finish with black strapping. The canvas is installed tight to the bottom of the purlins (structural members that span from beam to beam). Insulation fills the cavity above the simple saver over which the metal roof is installed. 13� of insulation at the roof level of this building greatly contributed to meeting the requirements of the MI energy codes.
