Reason number 1: We sell a totally engineered building.
With a totally engineered building, qualified & experienced suppliers put their resources together to create a reliable product. Some of the partners coming together for Reaves are Component Manufacturing Company, and Robbins Engineering. We also use Engineering Technical Services for in-plant inspections, design certification and quality control.
Used primarily for commercial and some agricultural applications, the Douglas is a totally engineered building of exceptional strength and versatility.
A combination of conventional wall framing and post framing every 8' gives the Douglas extra rigidity for added strength. And it can be sheathed with any material, inside or out. Walls can even be presheathed in the factory for time savings and excellent quality control.
Plus, the Douglas is engineered to withstand 90 mph winds in a C exposure and hold 20, 30 or 40 pounds per square foot of snow load. On top of this are industry safety factors. Reaves also builds to the strictest deflection criteria in the industry.
