Prefabrication
Steel Frames Ready To Go
A growing number of building professionals are using prefabrication techniques to work smarter, faster, and safer – and the material they choose to work with can magnify those benefits.
Cold-formed steel (CFS) framing is an ideal choice because it is non-combustible, lightweight, and cut to precise specifications.
Prefabrication
by the Numbers
Prefabrication has been an established construction method for over 60 years.
Today more building professionals are making the switch, as they see the productivity, sustainability, cost and safety benefits of the process.
