INTRODUCTION
1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE. This document provides guidance on the sue of Metal Building Systems
for Corps of Engineers projects. It applies primarily to the structural discipline, but close coordination
with the architectural discipline is required during building procurement. The use of this type of
construction should be considered where it will meet the quality, performance and functional
requirements of the project, where it will be architecturally compatible with the environment in which it
will be erected, and where such use is indicated by life cycle cost analysis to be economically justified.
2. APPLICABILITY. These instructions are applicable to all USACE elements involved with the design
of buildings and other structures.
