Utility buildings have many uses, such as general material, commodity or equipment storage, and use lighter gauge material than their commercial counterparts. Interior modifications can turn it into any one of several uses. Walls are usually either block or some type of metal or wood over the frame. Roof systems are either steel or wood, and the floors are light concrete, asphalt or dirt at the lower qualities.
