    Questions

    Buying a steel building from Mexico

    Can you ship a steel building from Mexico to the US?

    Yes. We fabricate in Hermosillo, Sonora, about 175 miles (280 km) south of the Nogales–Mariposa crossing into Nogales, Arizona, and quote every kit three ways: pickup at our plant (FCA), delivered at the Nogales border, or delivered duty paid (DDP) to your site. How delivery works.

    Will a steel building from Mexico meet my local building code?

    It is designed to the IBC edition your jurisdiction has adopted: steel to ANSI/AISC 360-22, seismic provisions to AISC 341-22 where your site requires them, and wind, snow and seismic loads for your address per ASCE 7. We send the calculation package and drawings for your engineer of record to review and stamp; SQ Tech does not provide a US engineer's stamp.

    How much does it cost to build a prefab metal building?

    Size, eave height, loads, cladding and the delivery term set the price, so every kit is quoted per project. Our steel building cost guide publishes structure-only budget ranges by footprint and lists what they leave out: foundation, erection, permits, freight and duties.

    How far is your plant from the US border?

    About 175 miles (280 km). The plant is on Carretera al Tazajal Km. 1.1, Ejido El Tazajal, Hermosillo, Sonora, south of the Nogales–Mariposa crossing. Hermosillo keeps Arizona time (MST, UTC−7, no daylight saving).
