Why Steel

The future of construction lies in sustainable materials that are delivered using fast, modern methods. Cold formed steel (CFS) can result in faster build times, lower costs, versatile design solutions and a durable, practical solution to premium buildings. Cold-formed Steel is also 100% recyclable. Meaning almost 90% of our steel brought from the mill has been recycled steel. It can be reused multiple times allowing it to be a much more environmentally friendly product. CFS framing can be fabricated off-site allowing for quick and precise erection on your construction site.

Steel has a much stronger building base than wood as well as a higher strength-to-weight ratio. This becomes apparent when despite the strength of steel, it is generally 30-50% lighter than wood. This allows you to use fewer members throughout construction. On top of all that steel is fireproof and resistant to any termites or other harmful bugs. Steel will not shrink, split, crack, or be susceptible to things such as fungus or mold that can be harmful to wood products. Overall, the strength, longevity, and lack of need for repair and replacement are a hefty part of the benefits that steel has over wood.

Cold formed steel affords excellent thermal design, is very long lasting, yields little waste, and is recyclable and reusable.

Most developers view the speed of steel installation and erection as the optimal approach, as it results in faster project completion, cost savings in site preliminaries, and an earlier return on investment.
