Blind Man Builds a Steel Building

We receive many questions about the ease of construction of our steel buildings.  One of our customers in Florida demonstrates the true ease of construction that comes with a SteelMaster Buildings.

Bob Krokker built a 12,500 square foot SteelMaster in Citrus County, Florida that is used as a workshop for teaching woodworking classes to other blind people to allow them to become skilled carpenters.  His goal for these individuals is for them to take their craft and return home as journeymen and to pass the trade to more blind people.  Krokker and his apprentices build wood chests, hutches and cabinets.  Krokker works with the Wishing Well Center, a sort of school and community center run by Blind Americans, Inc. in Hernando, Florida.

Krokker was a successful contractor for custom-built homes in Clearwater until he lost his sight to diabetes and glaucoma nearly 25 years ago.  After the loss of his sight, he embarked on  a two-year tour of the United States, looking for a program that helped the blind to become more independent that he could model after.  After finding one in Texas, he returned home and received a grant from the Florida to pay for the new SteelMaster steel workshop to house his project.

With the help of Jim Miekka, a 42-year old blind man from Hernando, Krokker completed the SteelMaster structure by fastening the workshop structure with our one nut and bolt system.

SteelMaster steel buildings include all the component parts necessary to erect a garage, workshop, storage building or a building for any purpose.  These components are made to precise standards of accuracy for easy assembly and are pre-punched and pre-drilled holes with only one size nut and bolt for the entire building.  Our prefabricated steel buildings are so simple to erect that over 80% of our customers construct their own buildings which means huge contractor cost savings!

Here are the 3 steps for constructing a SteelMaster steel building:

    Build Your Arches – assembling your steel building is safe and easy with 70% of the work done on the ground.
    Raise the Arches – in most cases, no heavy equipment is required to raise up the arches for your steel building.
    Fit Arches Together – Our precision built steel arches fit together perfectly.  The precision overlap of the arches provides more steel integrity at critical connection points, ensuring the easiest-to-assemble, strongest, best fitting arch system available.
