Editorial verdict

Find Steel Buildings' Take

Future Buildings is an arch and clear-span kit manufacturer with a genuine first-party fabrication claim, shipping across the USA and Canada. Arch buildings are a specific tool: no interior columns, very fast assembly, excellent for storage, workshops, equipment and hangar-type uses, and less comfortable where you want vertical walls, wide doors on the side, or a conventionally finished interior. Coverage here means shipping, not erection — the company sends a kit, and standing it up is arranged by you.

The arch system's advantage is structural simplicity: curved, corrugated steel panels bolted into a self-supporting shell with no interior framing at all. That means a genuinely clear interior, few components to lose, and assembly that a determined crew can complete quickly with basic lifting equipment.

Strengths and buyer considerations

Potential strengths

  • First-party manufacturing claim, which is uncommon in the kit segment.
  • Fully column-free interiors from a structurally simple system.
  • Few components and fast assembly relative to framed buildings.
  • Ships across both the USA and Canada.

Things to consider

  • No erection service — labour is entirely the buyer's responsibility.
  • Arch geometry limits usable height near the walls unless sidewalls are added.
  • No published headquarters address.
  • End walls, doors and insulation are commonly separate cost items.

Considerations are scope questions raised by the company's published model, not customer complaints.

The bottom line

The trade-offs are geometric. Usable wall height at the edges is limited unless you add straight sidewalls, end walls and large doors are engineered items rather than afterthoughts, and interior finishing takes more thought than in a rectangular building. Decide what you are storing and how you will get it in and out before you choose an arch profile.

How buying from Future Buildings Inc. works

  1. 01Match the profileChoose an arch style based on usable interior height, not just floor width.
  2. 02Confirm loadsHave the design criteria set for your specific location before ordering.
  3. 03Price erectionGet a crew quote or plan a realistic DIY schedule — this is not included.
  4. 04Prepare the foundationSlab or knee wall detailing must match the arch base connection exactly.

Building systems in practice

An arch building carries load through the curvature of corrugated steel panels rather than through frames, purlins and girts. Fewer parts, no interior structure, and a shell that sheds snow well when correctly profiled.

Compared with a rigid-frame building, arches are cheaper per enclosed cubic foot and worse per usable square foot at the perimeter. They excel at bulk storage, equipment and hangars; they are a compromise for offices, retail or anything needing conventional walls.

What to confirm before you buy

  • Which arch profile suits your storage height and door requirements?
  • What wind and snow loads is the kit engineered to for your address?
  • Are end walls and doors included, or priced separately?
  • What foundation does the design require — slab, piers or knee walls?
  • Who erects the building, and have you priced that separately?
  • What documentation is supplied for your permit application?

Engineering, delivery and construction

Arch buildings are highly sensitive to snow profile and foundation detailing. Confirm the design loads and the exact base connection your foundation contractor must build to.

Pricing and warranty

No published price list. Ask for the warranty on the steel and coating specifically, since the shell is the structure in this system.

Where arch buildings win and where they lose

An arch shell is the cheapest way to put a large, strong, column-free roof over open storage. For hay, boats, equipment, salt, machinery and aircraft, that is exactly the right answer, and the assembly speed is hard to beat.

The losses are at the perimeter and the ends. Shelving against a curved wall wastes space, doors have to be engineered into an end wall, and finishing an interior means building a second structure inside the first. Match the geometry to the job and the arch is excellent value; fight the geometry and it is not.

How Future Buildings Inc. compares

Arch buildings should be compared with other arch suppliers first, then against a rigid-frame quote for the same use.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — a first-party manufacturing statement is on file, which is why manufacturer wording is used here.

No erection service is evidenced. Kits ship to the USA and Canada; the crew is yours to arrange.

They work well where clear interior space matters more than vertical walls. Add sidewalls if you need usable height at the perimeter.

Not assumed. End walls, doors and insulation are commonly separate — get them itemised.

Design-dependent, typically a slab or knee wall with a specified base connection. Confirm the detail before pouring.
