Why Choose Cold-Formed Steel (CFS)?
Unlike traditional timber, Cold-Formed Steel offers unmatched precision and reliability.
Using American-standard steel ranging from G60 to G90, our structural engineers determine the right gauge and grade for your project based on location, zoning, and environmental factors.
These grades define both the thickness and coating of the steel, giving your structure the right level of protection against corrosion and weather exposure.
Key Benefits
- Up to 50-year warranty (compared to timber's 10 years)
- Resistant to warping, pests, and moisture
- Environmentally sustainable and recyclable
- Consistent precision through roll-forming techniques
- Suitable for ADUs, primary residences, and modular projects
Our Steel Standards and Compliance
Every CFS build at Well Done 1 Homes complies with rigorous American codes and standards, ensuring lasting performance and safety.
We align with:
- International Building Code (IBC) and ASCE for structural design
- AISI (American Iron and Steel Institute) specifications for CFS
- ASTM International standards for material quality, coatings, and fasteners
When incorporating Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) into your construction projects, it’s crucial to adhere to the rigorous standards set by American regulatory bodies.
Here’s a simplified overview to ensure compliance with USA steel standards:
1. Building Codes
Understand and comply with local, state, and national building codes that govern CFS usage. Important codes include the International Building Code (IBC) and standards set by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).
2. ASTM Standards
Choose materials and products meeting ASTM International’s technical standards related to CFS construction. This ensures quality and performance in components such as steel, coatings, and fasteners.
3. Structural Engineering
Collaborate with a licensed structural engineer experienced in CFS to design and analyze your building’s structural integrity, ensuring compliance with safety requirements and building codes.
4. Quality Control
Implement quality control measures throughout construction, including material testing and inspections, to maintain the integrity and durability of CFS components.
5. Building Permits
Obtain necessary permits from local authorities before construction begins, submitting detailed plans demonstrating compliance with CFS-specific codes and standards.
6. Inspection and Certification
Schedule inspections at key construction stages to verify compliance with codes and specifications. Consider involving third-party inspectors or certification agencies for independent verification.
7. It's important to note
Our steel construction process follows the Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) method. CFS involves shaping steel sheets or strips into structural components using cold-working techniques, such as bending and roll forming. This process allows for precise manufacturing of components and ensures consistency and accuracy in construction.
Following these guidelines ensures that your CFS construction meets regulatory requirements, guaranteeing the safety and quality of your project.
The Cold-Formed Steel Process
Cold-Formed Steel is created by bending and shaping thin sheets of galvanized steel through roll-forming, without heat. This process produces high-precision components that are lightweight, strong, and dimensionally stable, ensuring every part fits perfectly on-site.
CFS means:
- Faster assembly
- Less waste
- Stronger structural integrity
- Consistent quality control from factory to site
