Our Company History
Our history began in 1968 when Jake and Ron Neufeld, father and son, established Nusteel Industries Ltd. in Winkler, Manitoba, a pre-engineered steel building manufacturer. In October of 2016, WGI Westman Group Inc. acquired Nusteel under the Convey-All acquisition process. In January of 2017 Nusteel was rebranded as U-Build Steel Building becoming a division of BEHLEN Industries LP under the WGI umbrella.
Today we are proud to say that our team has over 55 years of experience in the pre-engineered steel building manufacturing industry, and puts the strength of North America’s largest steel building manufacturer directly in your hands. We support industries across North America by providing the best building solution for small, medium, and large steel buildings.

RESULTS
Without our customers, U-Build could not operate. That’s why we deliver on our promises, and we do it when you need it. Our success depends on your satisfaction, and we won’t settle for anything less than perfect.
What We Do
U-Build Steel Buildings are made-to-order. Each building is designed and engineered for your specific location codes. Our buildings can be customized to suit any of your needs when it comes to cranes, building dimensions, or building openings (overhead doors, windows, man doors, etc.).
After the buildings have been approved through our engineering department, they are prefabricated in our manufacturing plant and shipped to the building destination as a set, where the erector puts the building together.
We have several different profiles of wall cladding that come in your choice of our standard or premium colours. We offer a Standing Seam Roof (SSR) if required. We can also offer Insulated Metal Panels with any of our structures or sold separately. Other accessories we can provide upon request include insulation, interior finish, walk doors, and gutters/downspouts.
Contact us for any of your steel building needs.
YOUR BUILDING. YOUR WAY.
