WHY COLD-FORMED STEEL?

Cold formed buildings use up to 20-25% less concrete because the spread the weight-bearing load over multiple columns.  This results in smaller loads at each column and lesser concrete footers.  Even better?  We provide you complete foundation plans for your building at no cost to you!  This will assist with planning and cost calculation. Our unique slab-to-building engineering will save you time and money.

Cold formed is much easier to install.  There is no need for pre-setting anchor bolts like the traditional steel building.  Anchors are set at time of erection by our crews (check out this video). This also decreases man hours required for completion as compared to red iron or other traditional structures.  We even provide all anchors for your project whether you purchase the kit or have our crews erect your building.

The standard red iron building often requires welding of frames.  The cold-formed structures are all bolted up and require no welding during the manufacturing process or during erection! There is much less cutting and onsite manipulation of steel in order to erect the building.  Each piece is much lighter than red iron and is pre-punched for easier configuration and assembly.  This saves on labor cost and helps expedite the erection of your building.  Check out this time lapse of a cold-formed structure!

Components are much lighter than red iron making it much easier and safer for our crews to erect.  This saves time and money on renting heavy equipment such as cranes, etc.  It's also much easier on the body if you decide to do it yourself.  Many components can be lifted with human strength and much lighter equipment saving overall costs. Cold-formed framing ensures no welded seams with possible for human error in production.

Our cold-formed steel is manufactured from a hot-dipped galvanized steel.  This provides a clean appearance and barrier against corrosion.  Exposed cold-formed steel results in a much improved appearance as compared to traditional red-iron frames.  These suffer from visible weld seams and manufacturing blemishes.  The red coating on traditional steel is not designed as a final finish but to protect raw steel during the manufacturing process.

Our unique process makes us some of the fastest, direct from manufacture producers of steel buildings in the country!

Constructed with the highest quality materials right here in America.  From the framing to the exterior components, we use the highest quality products available.

Regardless of your location, whether in Tampa and worried about hurricanes, the mid-west and tornadoes or in Denver and dealing with snow-loads, our engineers are licensed in all 50 states.  Our cold-formed structure are designed to the strictest local codes for you location.
