FAQ
Still weighing your options? We’ve collected the most common questions from contractors, project managers, and developers who are considering cold-formed steel framing for their next job.
Cold-formed steel refers to structural framing members that are shaped at room temperature (not hot-rolled) to form trusses, wall panels, joists, and other building elements. It’s used for load-bearing and non-load-bearing systems alike.
We install cold-formed framing systems in mid-rise hotels, senior living communities, student housing, government buildings, and large-scale commercial projects.
Upfront material costs may be slightly higher, but the speed of installation, reduced labor, and long-term durability often result in lower total project costs.
Cold-formed steel is non-combustible, termite-proof, mold-resistant, and doesn’t warp or shrink—delivering long-term structural integrity.
Absolutely. Prefabricated panels, trusses, and floor systems arrive job-ready, eliminating site-built delays and rework.
