We’re building projects in the United States, by Americans for Americans

Darren Sperling • January 21, 2025

Summit Steel Buildings is an American and Canadian company using components made in our factories across North America to deliver affordable and better-built industrial and commercial facilities.

When it comes to pre-engineered metal buildings, choosing a trusted North American manufacturer makes all the difference. Summit Steel Buildings, led by South Carolina-born and University of Florida-educated entrepreneur Darren Sperling, brings together the best of U.S. and Canadian engineering expertise with a commitment to serving American businesses and communities. Our extensive network of manufacturing facilities across North America ensures that when you choose Summit Steel, you're investing in American infrastructure while maximizing the value of your capital expenditure.

Local manufacturing, lower costs

Wherever the jobsite is located throughout the United States, all your building components and framing systems are coming out of our American-based steel plants, so you don’t have any exposure to any border taxes or exchange rate fluctuations. Summit Steel Buildings leverages our strategic network of four U.S. manufacturing facilities to minimize transportation costs and maintain reliable delivery times.


By producing components domestically as close to the jobsite as possible, we eliminate cross-border complications and keep your project moving efficiently. Our American operations mean you only pay local taxes based on your jurisdiction – no surprise duties, customs fees or international shipping charges to worry about. This streamlined approach translates directly to cost savings for clients.


Our local presence means faster response times, smoother project execution and the peace of mind that comes from working with a company that understands your market.

Financial advantages in today's market

The current economic climate presents unique opportunities for American buyers. With the strong U.S. dollar and our ability to source materials domestically, Summit Steel Buildings offers exceptional value. While inflation concerns persist across the construction industry, ordering in advance allows clients to lock in current prices, protecting against future material cost increases. By choosing Summit Steel, you're not just getting a superior building – you're making a smart financial decision that hedges against market volatility and potential trade policy changes.

Investing in American infrastructure

Summit Steel Buildings provides American businesses with the opportunity to expand their operations while supporting domestic manufacturing and trade. The timing couldn't be better for investing in the growth of your business's physical infrastructure. Greater storage and production space are proven to support the future health of your enterprise. With interest rates trending downward, financing a new building project is becoming increasingly attractive. The Federal Reserve Bank has been continuing to drop its rate, and further decreases are expected throughout 2025.

While our head office is located in Vancouver, Canada, our teams of U.S.-based professionals work tirelessly to deliver exceptional value and quality to every client. By choosing Summit Steel, you're not just investing in a building – you're investing in American jobs, American manufacturing and American excellence in construction.
