Prefabricated Steel Auto Body Shop in Providence, RI

Metal Automotive Building

Sunward Steel Buildings, Inc., manufactured and provided this pre-engineered metal building for a customer in Providence, Rhode Island, in April of 2016.

Attractive, extensively customized and highly energy-efficient, the building currently undergoes use as an auto repair shop for Detroit Collision Center, an affiliate of Viti Inc., which is New England’s largest Volvo and Mercedes dealer. Offering more than 57 years of experience, Detroit Collision Center offers a broad range of repair services for local vehicle owners and also handles vehicle pickups, alternative forms of transportation for customers, vehicle drop-offs and similar efforts.

Steel Body Shop Features & Specs 

Delivering unparalleled strength and durability, this metal auto body features top-of-the-line steel construction and is 75’x100’x16’ in size when raised. It has a clear span that maximizes usable garage space by eliminating interior supports, and it also has high overhead clearance that leaves plenty of room for car lifts and similar equipment used in automotive repair efforts.

Boasting a Stone Beige exterior with custom stucco textured panels and a complementing Galvalume roof with custom Black trim and a 1:12 pitch, the steel auto shop offers impressive curb appeal, while (6) framed openings offer building users access inside. Found throughout the building are (4) 3070 commercial walk door systems and (2) 16’x12 overhead door openings.

Meanwhile, a high-performance, high R-value insulation system keeps the building comfortable for year-round use in New England. In its roof, the auto body shop has a 9.5” double-layer R-30 VRR Plus-faced insulation system that includes all banding and screws, while the walls contain a 6” layer of R-19 VRR Plus insulation complete with double-sided tape, patch tape and screws. The insulation package leads to much lower energy bills for the building and also helps prevent the formation of condensation inside.

The building also has a tongue and groove system that helps prevent thermal leaks and several climate-related customizations that better equip it for life in Rhode Island. Once such inclusion is a 133-mph wind speed rating and a 35-psf snow load is another.

Economical, Low-Maintenance Metal Automotive Buildings 

Prefabricated steel buildings have long been a popular construction choice for buyers with automotive interests. Often used as garages, repair shops, showrooms and dealerships, among other common automotive uses, steel buildings maintain their structural integrity and functionality extremely well over time, providing economical, long-lasting alternatives to wood buildings.

Rhode Island’s state capital, the city of Providence is part of Providence County. Situated near the head of the Narragansett Bay, Providence sits about 5 miles from Cranston and about 8 miles outside Johnston.
