Another exciting element that Steelway International offers is in the area of framing. Because the vast majority each Steelway International project is panelized in our state-of-the-art factory, very little is left to chance on the actual building site. Since steel-framing has long been used in commercial construction, finding competent and reliable framers isn’t a problem.
Furthermore, one experienced framer can easily lead a framing crew in the quick and easy construction of a Steelway International home or building. What does this mean? Simply put, the labor shortages that have caused such upheaval in traditional wood framing aren’t a factor in steel framing. Smaller, less experienced crews can construct Steelway International projects faster and easier than larger, more experienced wood-framing crews.
Obviously, this labor benefit should result in a framing cost savings. In addition, the time saved in getting a project "in the dry" should move the construction calendar ahead by as much as 50%. In construction, perhaps more so than any other industry, time is money. |
