Much has been reported over the last year on the increased demand for wood and forestry products. While it may sound somewhat contradictory, it’s never been a better time for the lumber industry to turn to steel. Steel buildings, in fact. Increasing production requires more buildings to store raw materials and inventory, more buildings to house equipment, more production space and more area for equipment. Increased space allows production materials to be moved around more safely and easily.


Summit Steel Buildings has specialized experienced working closely with B.C.’s forestry operators and has formed partnerships with other lumber companies throughout Canada and the United States. With an engineering team that has been developing lumber building systems for over 25 years, they are ready to support projects by building the ideal steel facilities for each site location and operational needs. Modern steel designs are versatile and strong to create high value. For large-scale projects in the lumber, forestry and timber industries, steel structures provide a less expensive alternative to traditional building.
