Our Point of Difference
Is our engineering expertise in cold-formed steel framing and having a range of options based on your project.
1. Our Full Submittal Package
Most steel framing companies only complete the structural plans, we can complete the full design and engineering plan process.
4 to 6 weeks (This will vary depending on the size of the project)
To streamline the journey of obtaining permits, we offer a comprehensive submittal package tailored to meet the common requirements of building authorities across the United States. Our goal is to make the permitting process as smooth and efficient as possible for our clients.
The Permit Submittal Package includes essential components such as:
- Structural engineering
- calculations specifically tailored for the steel stud framing system or other building systems.
- Foundation blueprint plans designed by an engineer for your structure or home.
- MEP plans (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) Plans
- Comprehensive architectural plans
- Site plans
- Title 24 compliance (if necessary)
- Energy requirement sets (if needed)
2. Our Cold-Formed Steel Framing Building System Division
Are you in need of a building framing system that remains impervious to weather conditions, offers efficiency, and can withstand environmental challenges? Your search ends here with our Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) building system.
With over 70 years of combined experience in building design, framing systems, and engineering, our CFS system guarantees a streamlined and efficient construction process. Designed to be user-friendly, even for unskilled workers, our expertise covers projects of all sizes, ranging from ADUs to 10-story buildings.
Teaming up with our manufacturing experts and seasoned professionals, we customize the system to meet the specific needs of your location, whether it involves heavy snow loads, high winds, or hurricane-prone areas. Ensuring that your project complies with local building codes and remains resilient to various weather conditions is our priority. Moreover, we provide straightforward assembly procedures and offer on-site training for workers during the initial construction phase. Our dedicated support team is available to address any questions or concerns, ensuring a smooth and successful outcome.
For large-scale projects involving over 100 homes, we offer framing solutions using CFS. Our system includes the option to attach structural sheathing to the exterior framing walls, which enhances structural integrity and streamlines the construction process. Furthermore, we facilitate plumbing and electrical installations by pre-drilling holes in the steel frame structure based on your MEP requirements, thereby saving valuable time during construction, and ensuring a seamless building experience.
3. Our CFS Manufacturing Process
The CFS manufacturing process involves several key steps to transform raw steel coils into precise components for construction:
- Detailing & Engineering: Our meticulous process involves creating your building system, including precise placement of studs for plumbing and utilities, tailored to your specifications.
- Prepare For Manufacture: All projects undergo digital modeling and detailed planning to guarantee accurate manufacturing. Each project is meticulously engineered and certified individually, ensuring quality and compliance.
- Fabrication: Our process begins with the pre-fabrication of panels using precision machines in our factory. These frame sections are meticulously assembled by hand to ensure quality. Our panels are designed to optimize shipping, with frames weighing approximately 150 lbs for standard shipments and 400 lbs when equipped with structural sheathing. This ensures efficient and seamless construction on-site.
- Roll Forming: Steel strips pass through rollers to shape them into the desired profile, creating various shapes such as studs, tracks, channels, and headers.
- Precise Cutting: The steel is precisely cut to required lengths using automated cutting equipment to ensure accuracy and consistency.
- Punching and Hole Drilling: Holes for fasteners, wiring, plumbing, and other components are punched or drilled into the steel studs and tracks according to construction plans.
- Assembly into Panel Sections: Steel components are assembled into panel sections, attaching studs, tracks, and other elements to form larger sections such as wall panels or floor joists.
- Quality Control: Quality control measures ensure that steel components meet industry standards and project specifications, including visual inspections and strength testing.
- Packaging and Shipping: Panel sections are packaged and prepared for shipping to the construction site, ensuring protection from damage during transit.
Overall, the CFS manufacturing process is highly automated and efficient, allowing for the precise production of steel components tailored to the requirements of each construction project.
