About

We believe the key to success is providing an extraordinary metal framing engineering service and product. What does that mean? Over the years we have learned what is important to our clients and assimilated these characteristics as part of our culture.

  • Responsive – Project time constraints create a need for immediate attention and we understand the importance of solving a problem quickly and delivering the solution.  We will make ourselves available when you need answers during design & construction.

  • Adaptive – We understand you have preferences that need to be incorporated into the shop drawings.  We adjust our design solutions to accommodate these preferences on each project.

  • Accurate – With our experienced light gauge engineers, state of the art structural analysis and design software, spreadsheets and QC process we deliver high quality accurate shop drawing & calculation packages.

  • Light Gauge / Cold-Formed Steel Shop Drawing & Calculation Package Presentation – Obtaining approved shop drawings & calculations packages is of primary importance.  To ensure this, we provide full size shop drawings with full height wall sections and an easy to read organized connection package to encourage designer approval.  Everyone (including Architects & General Contractors) compliments our drawings.
