Our History
Crane Steel Structures founder Paul Crane knows about building. Before founding his Brandon based company in 1981, Paul worked 10 years with a consulting engineering firm.Since his company’s inception, Crane has watched the business outgrow its original 400 square foot office that housed a dozen employees. Crane Steel Structures Ltd. currently has 40 experienced and dedicated employees in their two service centers located in Brandon and the Winnipeg area. His sons, PJ and Jarod, have joined the business, making Crane Steel Structures Ltd. a true family company. Crane Steel believes that their staff is like family and has an active employee share purchase plan.

 The Future of Crane Steel

While we currently have built west to Alberta, east to Ontario and north to Rankin Inlet in Nunavut, we look forward to expanding even further. To achieve this growth, we know that we must constantly upgrade our office and field systems to stay abreast of the latest technologies and advancement.With growing environmental concern about using wood for building, continued improvements in Metal Building Systems, and the economical advantages of building with metal, the future of Crane Steel Structures looks bright.

 Safety

We are committed to safety and maintaining the safest possible working environment for all our employees. We are COR and IS Networld certified, and maintain these certifications through on-going training and auditing. As a result, our safety record exceeds industry standards.

Design-Build
Design-Build involves considering our customer’s needs FIRST – whether simple or complex while providing a single source of responsibility to the client. Design-Build is the quickest path from conception to delivery, providing a turn-key, fixed-price solution that brings the client, designer, consultants and contractors together as a team.

Construction Management
With Construction Management, we’ll work alongside the client’s architect/engineer and advise on the feasibility of the chosen design, provide pricing information throughout the design phase, hire and manage all of the subcontractors that will be involved in the project as well as to inspect the work during the construction phase. Construction Management stresses quality over lowest price.

Retrofit Metal Roofing
If you’re looking for a way to stop roof leaks, reduce maintenance and improve the appearance of your facility, look no further. We offer a fully engineered roof retrofit framing system that is designed to be installed on flat roofs which often leak due to water ponding and improper drainage systems. This also creates enough space to add insulation to significantly increase your building’s energy efficiency. We can provide solutions that give you long-term, weather-tight protection.
