PANELIZED STEEL CONSTRUCTION

Cold-formed steel (CFS) construction can be used to create both a stand-alone structural framing element and as an integral component for hybrid construction methods.  Pre-panelized cold-formed steel walls can be delivered in parts or pre-assembled.  Custom project labeling will match installation plans and routinely decreases field installation time.  Focusing on calibrated structural integrity and high-end quality modeling, steel framing components can be designed to withstand location-specific wind, fire, seismic, and shear forces, or to meet other project criteria.
