With Nor-Lan’s Better Price Guarantee, keeping overhead and capital costs low ensures that their customers benefit from every dollar saved! So when their new expansion cost soared above budget, they looked to local contractor, Canad Construction and Brytex Building Systems for cost savings. Most of the structure was converted to an engineered metal building solution that included a thermally efficient roof and wall system, complete with 20,000 sf of mezzanine area, accommodation for roof top units, and a complex frame system to provide wide open spaces. The front showroom included a hybrid-conventional flat-roofed structure for architectural appeal.

Project Profile: Striking Oil in Alberta
Small, free-standing retail stores are probably not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of an engineered steel building solution. But Lewis Semashkewich of Melewka Structures & Design in Athabasca, Alberta thought the combination of the flexibility and quality of a Butler building, along with a design/build approach, would win the day for Great Canadian Oil Change/Valvoline. Two years ago, Lewis approached Great Canadian with an offer to adapt their wood-frame prototype to Butler systems. The result was a 1640 square foot structure with an MR-24 roof using the TLS insulation system. The roof had parapets and an internal gutter system. The walls were insulated metal panels (IMP).
