About Gary Thompson

Gary works on the research published across Find Steel Buildings: company research profiles, building type and size guidance, planning considerations and structured comparisons. His role is editorial — he reads, organises and explains published information so a reader can weigh options before speaking to a supplier.

Research is prepared from published company material and documented sources, and every figure carries its basis: computed from stored dimensions, taken from a named source, or labelled as planning guidance. Where a verified dataset does not exist, the page says so instead of estimating. All work follows the Find Steel Buildings Editorial Standards.

Find Steel Buildings is not a manufacturer, contractor, erector, engineering firm or building-code authority, and nothing published here is engineering advice.

Research areas

  • Steel building companies
  • Metal building systems
  • Building types

  • Steel building comparisons

These are editorial coverage areas, not professional certifications.

How Gary's research is prepared

  • Company research is written from the company's own published material, listed as sources on the page.
  • Dimensional and technical reference figures are compiled from documented, named published sources.
  • Numbers are labelled by basis; unverified figures are not published as facts.
  • Corrections are handled through the published corrections process.

The full standard is published at Editorial Standards.
