        "text": "You should opt for a custom design when you need wide clear-span interiors without load-bearing posts, oversized doors for heavy equipment, or exact height clearances for lifts. Standard buildings work well for basic vehicle parking, but custom engineering is essential if your project involves overhead cranes, uneven grade conditions, or plans to finish the interior into conditioned office or living space. Tailoring the frame beforehand guarantees that wall girts and roof purlins can carry additional interior loads.",
