Often perimeter roof connections are completed to top of beam, bottom of beam or extending bent plate. Design coordination between the provider of bent plate critical as bent plate is commonly supplied by steel manufacture prior to completion of connection design.

Warehouse
Warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing structures are typically made of large-scale structural gray panels and may include interior cold storage areas and high-end finishes and features at customer entrances.

Controlled plant conditions also allow owners and designers to incorporate interesting features impossible to cast in conditions subject to weather and varying temperatures.
