Schlosser Steel Buildings

What Schlosser Steel Buildings does

Schlosser Steel Buildings, Inc. (SSBI) is a privately held, design|build steel building contractor headquartered in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, founded in 1970 and operating for over 50 years. The company supplies and erects structural steel and pre-engineered metal buildings for commercial, industrial, recreational, and religious end-uses, and has erected more than 900 buildings across the United States — from local Pennsylvania installations to projects as far as Abilene, Texas. Its service portfolio includes Building Solutions (turnkey design|build delivery), Professional A|E Services (licensed engineering and architecture with sealed construction documents, foundation design, architectural renderings, and ADA code review), and Hybrid Steel Buildings (a blended system combining metal building systems with conventionally framed steel). Delivery is supported by an in-house bench of licensed engineers (PE, SE) and architects (AIA, LEED AP), with an Online Builder web tool available for early-stage project configuration.

The company runs a sales-led, direct-to-customer model targeting contractors, owners, and developers, with no public pricing — each engagement is project-specific and quoted based on design requirements, building size, materials, and scope. Revenue is therefore generated through one-time construction contracts rather than recurring subscriptions. Operations span three U.S. locations — Hatfield, PA (headquarters); Brandon, FL (regional headquarters serving the Southeast); and a remote Chicago, IL office (Midwest coverage). The company maintains a 50+ year channel relationship with Star Building Systems as its primary metal building supplier, evidenced by sustained Million Dollar Award (1997-98, 2005-present) and Top Ten Award recognition, and holds a 25+ year consecutive Outstanding Builder Award from the same supplier. Marketing presence is limited to LinkedIn and Facebook, with no disclosed funding, M&A activity, or institutional ownership in the source data.
