Build Smarter with Butler Systems: What Contractors Should Know

When you’re planning a commercial or industrial building, every day counts. Delays cost money. Mistakes cost even more. You need a builder who can help you move fast, stay on budget, and deliver a building that performs for the long haul.

That’s the benefit of working with a Butler Builder.

Butler Manufacturing offers more than just pre-engineered buildings. They provide a full line of commercial construction systems—from structural steel to roofing, walls, insulation, daylighting, and accessories. These systems are made to work together, helping you avoid common jobsite problems and finish faster.

What Is a Butler Builder?

A Butler Builder is a contractor trained and certified by Butler Manufacturing. These builders have direct access to all of Butler’s systems, tools, and support. That means better quality, faster timelines, and fewer surprises.

Traditional builders often mix and match parts from different manufacturers. That can lead to delays, installation issues, and costly change orders. Butler Builders use systems designed to fit and function together, giving your project a smoother path from start to finish.

Faster Projects with Integrated Systems

Every part of a Butler system is made to connect with the others—framing, roofing, walls, and accessories. This kind of integration speeds up construction and reduces the risk of mistakes on-site.

For example, structural systems like Widespan™ or Landmark™ 2000 are built to create wide, open spaces with fewer interior columns. These are great for warehouses, manufacturing buildings, and open-plan facilities. Because the frames are factory-assembled, they install faster than traditional methods.

Butler’s MR-24® Roof System—used on more than 3 billion square feet of buildings—is one of the most reliable roofs on the market. It has a proven life span of over 40 years and is factory-punched for precise, leak-resistant seams.

By using Butler’s design tools like eSTIMATOR™ and eBuilder™, Butler Builders can also give you faster quotes and better planning during pre-construction.

The Complete Butler System Catalog

When you work with a Butler Builder, you get access to a full line of building systems—not just the basics.

Here are a few of the most popular options used in commercial and industrial projects:

• MR-24® Roof System – Long-lasting, low-maintenance, and energy efficient

• Widespan™ & Landmark™ 2000 – Framing systems that create open floor plans with wide bays

• Shadowall™ & TextureWall™ – Wall panels that are energy-efficient and look great on schools, offices, and retail buildings

• SunLite Strip® daylighting – Uses natural light to cut down on energy bills and improve lighting

• ThermalLiner™ insulation – High R-value insulation with a clean interior finish

• Express Mezz™ System – Pre-designed mezzanines for extra space, storage, or second-floor use

Every system is built to reduce labor time, cut waste, and install cleanly—saving you time and money.

Lower Costs Over the Life of the Building

Butler systems aren’t just fast to install—they’re made to last. When you look at the total cost of ownership, they often come out ahead.

For example, the MR-24® roof reduces common leak points by 90% compared to standard roof systems. That means fewer repair calls and less long-term maintenance. Many Butler roofs have been in place for decades with no major issues.

Butler’s insulated wall panels and daylighting systems can also help reduce monthly energy costs. In some buildings, adding natural daylight can cut lighting bills by as much as 70% during the day.

This kind of performance also helps with LEED targets or meeting stricter energy codes.
