Recent policy changes have dramatically transformed the pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) industry. President Trump’s administration’s introduction of a 25% tariff on imported steel marks a significant and impactful shift. 

Understanding the 25% Steel Tariff

For those of us in the PEMB industry, steel isn’t just a material: it’s the backbone of our buildings. The tariff intends to support domestic industries by minimizing dependence on imported products. The rising costs have forced us to develop new solutions and examine our strategies to maintain value delivery while upholding quality standards.

How This Affects Us at Coastal Steel Structures

Here’s what the new steel tariff means for us and, crucially, for you:

Steering Rising Costs:

Steel tariffs immediately raise raw material expenses. We will maintain transparency throughout these developments to protect our clients from unexpected changes.

Choosing Our Partners Wisely:

Our strategy includes developing partnerships with domestic steel suppliers to fortify our supply chain while minimizing tariff effects.

Doubling Down on Value:

Our design optimization reduces waste and boosts efficiency to achieve the best possible returns on your investment through our services.
