Challenge

Deliver a value-engineered design solution that would:
· Accelerate the project schedule using single trade erection.
· Meet the non-combustibility building codes using less mass.
· Offer quality comparable / superior to traditional structural steel and concrete
The owner had previous experience with cold-formed steel construction, but was frustrated by the lack of support and expertise. A visit to one of our job sites helped the owner decide to convert his project to our building system.

Our Solution

By using our proprietary framing technology,1 TradeReady® floor system, and cementitious floor underlayment we:

· Enabled the framing crews to drive the project helping reduce the time to erect the structural frame.
· Delivered a high quality solution with the TradeReady® Floor System, eliminating the need for drop-ceilings and the associated costs.
· Provided a strong but lightweight structure that substantially reduced the overall weight of the building, which in-turn helped reduce the associated engineering, labor, and material costs.
