Metal building provides durability and weathertightness

Construction on the Pioneer Commerce Center in Truckee, Calif., began in December 2006 and was completed in February 2008. The building is used as 30 percent warehouse space, 50 percent office space and 20 percent residential.

The project utilized a metal building, roof and walls from Metallic Building Co., Houston. The 12,018-square-foot (1,116-m2) building has a 1:12 roof pitch. Metallic’s Double-Lok roof panels are a trapezoidal solution that provides optimal durability and weathertightness. The panels feature an interlocking standing seam to support faster and easier installation and a more efficient erection process. The building also features wood, block and Metallic’s PBR endwall and sidewall panels.

While the office and residential sections of the building are wood construction, the warehouse is all metal with tasteful finishes. Mansard construction, wood wall finishes and a front entry canopy add to the overall look of the building. The building features a large mezzanine, 50 by 78 by 12 feet (15 by 24 by 4 m) with welded steel stairs and railings.

McKay and Moran Architects, Sacramento, Calif., was the architect; Summit Builders, Lakewood, Calif., was the general contractor; and Striplin Walker Construction Inc., El Dorado Hills, Calif., was the builder, erector and roofing contractor.
