Why Legacy?
Advanced Engineering
At Legacy Building Solutions, we create custom-engineered fabric buildings based on the project’s specifications. Creating the ideal building to meet your requirements, eliminates excess square footage, increases energy efficiency, and results in a faster return on your investment. Our engineering team is licensed in multiple states and provinces, and we can provide stamped drawings for any location in the U.S. and abroad. Our building engineers and consultants are among the most experienced in the fabric building industry.
In-House Capabilities
Our specifications for exceptional custom fabric building manufacturing are clear and thorough. Every building component meets quality standards set by Legacy and the appropriate certification agencies. Steel framing members and small components are fabricated on site from 55 ksi steel. Painting and priming are completed in our state-of-the-art painting facility and the fabric panels are manufactured in our temperature-and humidity-controlled warehouse. That provides the ideal environment for welding fabric. After all components are completed, they are inspected by our quality control team and then shipped to the building site. Legacy Installation crews arrive on site to unload the building components and begin constructing.
Relentless Quality
Quality isn’t a byproduct of the work itself; it’s an embedded standard. Year after year, the standards of quality change, and Legacy leads the charge of meeting quality standards. All building components, including the fabric and frames, are manufactured at our Central Minnesota facility. We do this because it allows us to control the quality of the materials and the process.
All of Legacy’s processes are certified by ISO 9001:2015, and we maintain other certifications including CWB, AWS, CSA A660, and Florida Product Approval.
Legacy’s patented fabric attachment system and our fabric panel manufacturing is one area where Legacy’s team has established a unique position in the industry. Our patented fabric attachment system—and ExxoTec™ fabric allows for superior and safer fabric tensioning during installation.
