Norseman Structures is a strong, reliable company and a subsidiary of Norseman Group, which has been in the fabric structure business since 1921 when it started as a manufacturer of outfitter and exploration tents.

Norseman Group is the parent company of a group of companies including Norseman Structures, Norseman and Campers Village.

In June 2010, Norseman Structures acquired manufacturing assets once owned by Cover-All Building Systems.

Engineering - Norseman Structures follows traditional engineering methods using the combination of snow and wind loads as required by current building code. It is our belief that this may not currently be the practice of all competitive building manufacturers. We employ senior structural engineering and design staff who are responsible for the development and design of the various building series. The designs are further reviewed by third party engineers and if required, revisions are incorporated for applications in US and International markets.

Largest Manufacturing Capacity - With over 200,000 sq ft of quality controlled manufacturing facilities, we have the capacity to deliver products on time and on budget.

Custom Design - We have a full line of standard building products but also the ability to provide custom design building solutions no matter what your unique needs are.

Sales Network - Our worldwide network of dealers and corporate sales representatives have vast knowledge and experience in the steel-framed, fabric covered building industry.

We are currently looking for partners to help meet the demand for our buildings. Dealer territories are available in select areas for organizations with proven track records in construction and a history of success in business.

Our buildings are constructed using either a heavy duty galvanized or hot dipped structural steel framework with a high performance, durable polyethylene cover. PVC is available on request. Read more.

Norseman's Commercial Product Line of buildings meet the same building codes as pre-engineered steel structures and is designed in accordance with structural requirements of the International Building Code (IBC) and the National Building Code of Canada (NBC) including CSA A660-10 and CSA S367. Buildings are fully stamped for all jurisdictions. 

Our Utility Product Line of buildings are designed for low human occupancy and have not been designed to meet specific local building or safety codes.

Norseman Structures designs use a combination of snow and wind loads, as required by current building standards. It is our belief that this may not be the practice of all competitive building manufacturers. All design elements are researched, developed and rigorously tested to ensure they meet the stringent requirements necessary to maintain the quality and structural integrity of every building.

Norseman Structures follows the same permitting guidelines as other building manufacturers. Check with your local code authorities for regulations that apply in your area. For assistance with obtaining a permit, contact your Norseman Structures Building Consultant.

It depends on the size of the project. Some of the smaller buildings can easily be customer installed and every Norseman building comes with a detailed installation manual.

Foundation preparations will depend on your building model, size and application. A Building Consultant is equipped with the information to help you arrange the appropriate foundation suitable for your Norseman Structures building.

Yes. Not only can a Norseman building be quickly installed, they can also be quickly disassembled and re-located in most instances.

Norseman Structures prides itself on exceptional quality control on our fabric covers by performing continuous fabric strength testing and employing only certified cover manufacturing equipment operators. The results are the most durable fabric covered buildings in the industry.

How strong is the fabric that Norseman Structures uses on its buildings? Watch this video demonstration.

Faster Installation - Fabric covered buildings typically require less lead and installation time than conventional construction getting your project up and running faster. 

Clear-span design - No interior columns or posts interfere in your working area. 

Brighter - Unlike steel or wood buildings, which require artificial lighting even in the day, Norseman Structures' buildings have translucent covers that provide a bright, pleasant and evenly lit environment and do not require artificial light during daylight hours. Compare this to a steel or wood building which could cost thousands of dollars each year in additional lighting costs. 

Cooler - The non-conductive properties of our covers provide a barrier between the heat of the suns rays outside the building and the air inside the building. The exterior heat is not radiated through the cover to the interior like a metal building. To keep the interior walls cool, a metal building would need to add substantial insulation to negate the heat gain of the metal surface, adding extra costs and construction time. 

More economical to operate - With highly reflective covers and liner options, Norseman Structures buildings require fewer lights resulting in reduced utility costs and initial lighting costs. Building designs can incorporate options to allow natural ventilation thereby reducing forced airflow systems, noise, regular maintenance and costs. Covers are virtually maintenance free and do not trap dust and dirt nor do they require painting or shingling. 

More air volume - With the lower profile and higher heat transfer properties of their metal roofs, steel or wood buildings trap more heat during summer months making them unbearably hot and stuffy. Norseman Structures buildings have a high pitched ceiling allowing hot air to rise into the peak, keeping the ground surface cooler. A steel or wood building would need to be constructed twice as tall to enclose the same volume of air, adding to the cost for additional leg and sidewall materials. 

More corrosion resistant - Covers do not contain any metallic components and will not rust from exposure to water and air. The steel frame is galvanized for long life in the harshest environments. 

Quieter - Norseman Structures' fabric covers dampen sound waves instead of reflecting and creating echo effects. The result is a "hushed" atmosphere which allows for crisp, clear sound travel. A steel building would require sound dampening insulation, adding to the construction cost of your structure. 

Relocatable - Norseman Structure buildings are designed to be permanent but can be relocated if your business needs change.

Norseman Structures buildings are fully "engineered" systems beyond just the main steel components. Requirements for fully engineered systems have been recently introduced by regulatory agencies. Any company that hasn't completed a recent review of their designs is not likely meeting current standards. Norseman Structures buildings are designed to meet or exceed all building codes and have taken into consideration upcoming requirements. We contract with multiple, external engineering firms to ensure unbiased assessments. Many of our competitors use internal engineers to approve their own designs. We ensure the implementation, maintenance and ongoing improvement of performance to established quality standards. This sets us apart from our competitors.

Our durable buildings are designed for hundreds of different applications. Norseman Structures buildings have been used for everything from equipment storage to event facilities; from sports practice facilities to warehousing facilities. To see more applications, browse the industries section of our site or contact your local Building Consultant.

The cost of a Norseman Structures building is comparable or less than that of traditional or conventional buildings. The price of the buildings are dependent on many factors such as: width, length, location, application, accessories, options, doors, foundation & region. Your Building Consultant will be able to help determine the specific cost of your fabric building project.

Lead time depends on the type of building and scope of the project, however manufacturing and installation usually takes a fraction of the time of a conventional building.
