Why Black Friday Matters for Builders and Investors?

Most people think of Black Friday as a shopping holiday but for builders, it’s a strategic window to plan and save. Why?

  • Limited-time discounts (up to 60% off)
  • Fast-tracked production slots before spring rush.
  • Section 179 tax deduction eligibility (if purchased by Dec 31).
  • Free consultation to help you plan your project, step by step.

Rising Construction Costs: Buy Before Prices Climb

As of October 2025, the price of hot-rolled band steel in the U.S. climbed to $980 per ton, a sharp rise from $805 per ton in January, marking a 21.7% increase year-to-date. This price pressure is driven by:

  • Global supply constraints
  • Higher energy and transportation costs
  • Labor shortages across manufacturing and construction

What This Means for You:

  • Delaying your project could add thousands in material and labor costs
  • Locking in now protects your budget before 2026 price hikes
  • Buildway passes down Black Friday bulk savings directly to buyers

Faster Delivery and Installation Before Spring Projects

Steel buildings are known for quick assembly and prefab solutions from Buildway are even faster. But scheduling early is key to beating the busy spring construction season.

Typical Build Timeline (When Ordered on Black Friday):

  • Week 1–2: Design consultation, engineering, and quote approval.
  • Week 3–6: Fabrication and order prep in the U.S.-based facility.
  • Week 7–8: Final inspection, shipping, and on-site delivery.

Order during Black Friday and your steel building could be delivered and ready for installation by March or April. Just in time to kick off your residential, agricultural, or commercial project.

Example: A 2,400 sq. ft. prefab steel workshop can be designed, delivered, and installed in as little as 6-8 weeks depending on location and permitting.

Maximize End-of-Year Tax Benefits (Section 179)

One of the most underutilized financial advantages of buying a steel building before year-end is the Section 179 tax deduction.

What Is Section 179?

Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment (including certain steel buildings) from their gross income, provided it’s purchased and put into service by December 31, 2025.

What Buildings Qualify?

Buildings used for:

  • Warehousing and logistics
  • Agricultural storage and barns
  • Auto repair shops or garages
  • Manufacturing or processing
  • Rental income (check with your tax advisor)

What You Could Save:

  • Deduct up to $1,220,000 in 2025 (based on current IRS limits)
  • Immediate write-off = improved cash flow
  • Combine with state/local tax benefits

Planning & Permitting Tips to Speed Up Your Steel Building Project

Even with Black Friday discounts and priority production slots, permits and site prep can be major project slow-downs if not handled early. To make the most of your seasonal savings, it’s smart to get a jump on these essential steps right now.

Here’s how to stay ahead:

  1. Start your permitting process ASAP: City and county offices often slow down around the holidays. Submitting early gives you a head start and helps prevent spring delays.
  2. Check local zoning regulations: Before you finalize your design, confirm that your property is zoned for your intended use, whether it’s residential, agricultural, commercial, or any other.
  3. Gather required documents in advance: Most building permit applications require engineering drawings, site plans, and soil or foundation details, all of which Buildway provides with your quote.
  4. Prep your site early: Clearing land, leveling the site, and scheduling concrete work in advance means your build can begin as soon as your kit arrives.

Pro Tip: Some areas require inspections at multiple stages. Knowing your local inspection timeline helps you schedule builds more efficiently.

Taking care of permitting and prep work now ensures that your steel building project stays on track and gives you the best possible return on your Black Friday investment.

Long-Term ROI and Durability That Outlasts Trends

When you invest in a steel building, you’re not just solving a short-term need, you’re adding long-term value to your property. Steel structures offer unmatched durability with minimal upkeep. They resist rust, pests, and weather damage, saving you money over time. With energy-efficient options and design flexibility, your investment keeps delivering value for years to come.

Steel vs Wood vs Concrete (ROI Comparison)

Feature Steel Wood Concrete
Lifespan 40–60 years 20–30 years 40+ years
Maintenance Low High (rot, pests) Medium
Installation Time Fast (weeks) Medium Slow (months)
Fire Resistance High Low High
Cost Over Lifetime Most affordable Expensive upkeep High upfront

Real Customer ROI Example:

“After installing a 3,600 sq. ft. Buildway steel garage, my property appraisal increased by 18%. I’ve also saved over $1,000 per year on repairs compared to my old wooden barn.”
