Cold-Formed Steel Case Studies from the Ground Up
At Vertical Building Group, we don’t just build—we solve. Every project we take on brings unique challenges in scale, timeline, budget, and complexity. Our cold-formed steel framing systems—engineered and executed in-house—help project teams move faster, build stronger, and stay on budget.
This case study collection highlights real mid-rise construction projects where VBG delivered results across multiple scopes:
• Floor, wall, and truss system fabrication
• Structural design and engineering
• Procurement and material coordination
• Cost analysis, scheduling, and construction management
Whether the goal was time savings, material performance, or better sequencing across trades, each example below demonstrates how cold-formed steel—and the right framing partner—makes all the difference.

Cold-Formed Steel Case Studies from the Ground Up
At Vertical Building Group, we don’t just frame buildings—we frame signature structures. For the Cloudland at McLemore Resort, a luxury Hilton property perched on Lookout Mountain, our team was brought in to deliver a high-visibility roof truss system that would define the architectural character of the entire resort.
This case study highlights how VBG delivered precision-engineered cold-formed steel solutions across a complex mountain-site build:
• Custom roof truss system design, fabrication, and erection
• Coordination of delivery and crane staging in remote terrain
• Integration of architectural rooflines with structural demands
• Schedule alignment with other trades on a high-profile hospitality timeline
Whether the project demands structural complexity, design integrity, or challenging logistics, VBG helps developers build smarter, faster, and stronger with cold-formed steel.

Cold-Formed Steel Case Studies from the Ground Up
Vertical Building Group provided full design, fabrication, and delivery of the cold-formed steel wall and floor framing systems for this four-story Fairfield by Marriott. With a tight timeline and strict budget parameters, the project team leaned on VBG’s cold-formed expertise to streamline sequencing, reduce field labor, and maintain structural integrity from deck to roof.
This case study highlights the value of early coordination and engineered systems:
• Floor joists and wall panels manufactured to spec
• Load-bearing framing throughout all guest room levels
• Truss-ready connections for efficient roofing transitions
• On-time delivery and installation support for fast-track schedule
For mid-rise hospitality builds with repeatable layouts and demanding timelines, cold-formed steel—and a systems-minded partner—makes a measurable difference.

Cold-Formed Steel Case Studies from the Ground Up
This 116,000+ square foot, three-story senior living facility on Florida’s Gulf Coast required a durable, non-combustible roof system engineered to handle both the climate and the architectural complexity of the design. Vertical Building Group was contracted to deliver cold-formed steel roof trusses and structural decking—a critical phase in keeping the project both code-compliant and on schedule.
This case study demonstrates VBG’s value in material scope execution and speed:
• Design-coordinated roof truss layout and fabrication
• Lightweight CFS trusses to reduce load and crane time
• Fire-rated and wind-rated for Florida coastal compliance
• Structural decking for full roof diaphragm performance
For senior living developers balancing strict code requirements with aesthetics and efficiency, cold-formed roof systems provide strength and speed—without compromise.
