In this industry, there are few pre-engineered building suppliers able to achieve AISC certification. There are even fewer that have demonstrated Pinnacle's commitment to supporting engineers and architects with immediate answers and rapt attention to projects and concerns. Combine these levels of commitment to quality and customer service with a proven track record of delivery (dates promised to the hour), and Pinnacle stands alone. The design and engineering
departments strive to develop the best manufactured buildings.

We adhere to strict guidelines noted below:

All structural steel sections and welded plate members are designed in accordance with the applicable sections of the latest edition of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) "Specification for the Design, Fabrication and Erection of the Structural Steel for Buildings."
