STEEL STUD CONSTRUCTION
Steel stud construction, often called cold-formed steel (CFS) or light-gauge steel framing, uses thin sheets of structural-quality steel formed into shapes like "C" studs and "U" tracks to build the skeleton of a building. While traditionally a standard in commercial projects, it is increasingly used in residential builds for its durability and precision.
Off-site construction involves designing, fabricating, and assembling building components in a controlled factory environment before transporting them to the final site. This method cuts project timelines by 20% to 50% and reduces construction costs by up to 20% while improving quality, sustainability, and safety.
Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) are innovative techniques, often involving off-site manufacturing, automation, and digital tools, to build structures more efficiently, sustainably, and with higher quality than traditional methods. Key examples include modular construction, prefabrication (panels, volumetric units, pods), Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA), and on-site innovations like 3D printing, all aiming to reduce waste, speed up delivery, improve safety, and lower costs by shifting work to controlled factory environments.
MODERN CONSTRUCTION PROCESSES
STEEL
Light gauge steel (LGS) framing uses thin, cold-formed steel coils to create lightweight structural components like studs and tracks, serving as a durable, pest-resistant, and fire-safe alternative to wood framing for various building types, offering faster construction, less waste, and excellent strength-to-weight ratios, though sometimes facing higher initial material costs and requiring consideration for thermal bridging.
APPLICATIONS
Residential: Single-family homes, townhouses, apartment buildings, modular housing, extensions, and roof trusses.
Commercial: Offices, retail spaces, showrooms, hotels, and public buildings (hospitals, schools).
Industrial: Warehouses, factories, storage units, and logistics centers needing large clear spans.
Modular & Prefabricated: Dormitories, site offices, and emergency housing.
Specialized: Solar panel structures, carports, facade systems, and internal drywall framing.
Tiny Homes and Sheds
A.D.Us: Additional dwelling units.
MANUFACTURING
Utilizing Computer Numericaly Controled manufacturing equipment, we are able to produce “Bispoke” components, each individually designed as part of a larger system. Each component is tagged with a specific identifier.
Components can be pre-assembled to form Wall panels or Trusses. Alternately, packaged “kits” can be assembled on site. Smaller structure like Sheds or Tiny homes can be delivered complete.
