For decades Butler has demonstrated a commitment to excellence by operating one of the most extensive research and testing facilities in the construction industry. Located in Grandview, Missouri, the Butler Research Center is devoted to the development and testing of new concepts, products and practices, as well as testing current practices and products now in use throughout the industry.

STRENUOUS TESTING YIELDS BETTER PRODUCTS

The structural integrity of your building cannot be taken for granted. Each component must meet certain minimum strength requirements, and the combination of these components must be certifiably strong, yet not over-designed. At Butler, all structural steel, panel materials, bolts, fasteners and sealants are subject to a rigorous quality control program before being used on your building.

Component and system strength are studied with a variety of full-scale tests.
