A Better Way

Framing in Light-Gauge Steel

Steel vs. Wood

The Environment

 
 

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.
