Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings (PEMB) · Sonora, Mexico · US Border Region
In-house design, fabrication, and installation of pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB) across Sonora and all of Mexico. Industrial storage and manufacturing facilities from 1,000 sq ft — tailored to your project and budget.
We also build turnkey industrial buildings and custom steel structures. See our 2026 cost guide by size or complete prefab buildings guide.
As featured in
A prefabricated steel warehouse is a structure where columns, beams, roof panels, and wall cladding are fabricated off-site and assembled on location — dramatically reducing construction time versus conventional building. At SQ Tech, all components are manufactured with certified structural steel at our Hermosillo facility, ensuring seismic and wind resistance per current Mexican NMX standards.
The industry term for this is PEMB (Pre-Engineered Metal Building). A PEMB is a fully engineered steel building system where the structural frame, secondary framing (purlins and girts), and cladding panels are custom-designed for your site, load requirements, and dimensions. PEMBs can span up to 200 ft clear with no interior columns — critical for manufacturing floors, warehouse aisles, and logistics operations.
For manufacturing, nearshoring, maquiladora, logistics, and agri-food companies operating in Sonora and northwest Mexico, prefabricated steel buildings are the standard solution: a 10,000 sq ft facility that would take 5–6 months in conventional construction can be operational in 6–10 weeks with a PEMB system.
We offer three systems: pre-engineered industrial warehouse for heavy loads and custom spans, modular prefabricated storage for flexible, expandable layouts, and temporary demountable structures for staged or short-term projects.

Building Types
Three steel building systems engineered for different industrial needs — all manufactured in-house in Hermosillo, Sonora, and installed anywhere in Mexico.
Maximum strength and durability
100% steel PEMB structure — custom-engineered clear spans up to 200 ft, eave heights to 30 ft, overhead crane-ready. Ideal for manufacturing, logistics, and heavy storage across Sonora and northwest Mexico.
Unlimited versatility
A modular system that adapts to your dimensions. Fully clear-span to maximize every square foot. Expandable at any time without halting operations.
No permits, no delays
Perfect for temporary projects or when you need space immediately. Reusable, relocatable, and ready to deploy fast. Ideal for construction staging, seasonal overflow, and short-term industrial operations.

| Building Size | System Type | Cost Range (USD) | Per Sq Ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000–5,000 sq ft | Modular / Storage | $18,000–$90,000 | $12–$18 |
| 5,000–20,000 sq ft | Pre-engineered PEMB | $80,000–$400,000 | $16–$22 |
| 20,000–60,000 sq ft | Industrial PEMB | $350,000–$1,200,000+ | $18–$30 |
| Temporary / Demountable | Any size | Ask for quote | Lower upfront cost |
Labor and fabrication costs in northwest Mexico run 30–50% lower than comparable US projects, with full NMX structural certification.
Local fabrication in Hermosillo eliminates cross-border logistics. Steel sourced from Ternium and Fortacero — same mills that supply US-side builders.
Ask about fixed-price turnkey contracts. We quote design, materials, fabrication, and installation together — no hidden add-ons.

Why SQ Tech?
We are direct manufacturers — we don't resell or subcontract. That allows us to control quality, timelines, and price at every stage of the project.
Industries We Serve
From agro-industrial storage to nearshoring and maquiladora facilities in northwest Mexico — we engineer the right PEMB solution for your sector.
Coverage Area
Our base of operations is Hermosillo, Sonora, but we serve projects nationwide. We have especially strong presence in the northwest corridor: Nogales, Guaymas, Ciudad Obregón, Culiacán, Chihuahua, Tijuana, and Mexicali — key markets for nearshoring, maquiladora manufacturing, and agro-industry near the US border.
For US and international companies looking to manufacture in Sonora, manufacture in Hermosillo, or manufacture in Guaymas, SQ Tech provides the full building solution — from site evaluation and structural engineering to fabrication and turnkey installation. We have experience working with nearshoring developers, industrial parks, and direct-investment clients across the border region.
