Structural safety in steel buildings is not defined by strength alone. In Canada, where buildings are expected to perform reliably under snow, wind, temperature variation, and long service lives, safety depends just as much on redundancy as it does on capacity....

Steel buildings are often selected because of their predictability. When properly engineered, they offer clear pricing, defined schedules, and long-term performance certainty. When engineering is incomplete, incorrect, or poorly coordinated, that predictability...
