Steel Framing
Steel is the New Wood.
Homes have been built with wood since the time of the Pilgrims. Today a superior alternative has emerged: cold-formed steel, computer-cut to the millimeter and built to outlast the weather, the termites, and the fire season.
What it is
Framing, roll-formed to the millimeter.
Cold-formed steel framing replaces dimensional lumber with precision steel members, roll-formed on computer-guided machinery from a digital model of your building.
Every stud, track and joist is cut, punched and labelled to spec before it reaches the site. What arrives is a kit of parts that fits together exactly as drawn.
No warping. No guesswork. No surprises.
Just precision you can trust.
Why it matters
One material. Three reasons to specify it.
Homeowners
Fire- and decay-resilient. Steel doesn't burn, rot, warp or feed termites, peace of mind that lasts the life of the home.
Builders
Faster, cleaner installs with fewer errors. A pre-cut, labelled kit means less waste, less rework, and a tighter schedule.
Architects & designers
What you design is what gets built. The frame is fabricated straight from the model, with tolerances in millimeters, not guesswork.
The case for steel
Why build with steel.
01
Fire resilient
Cold-formed steel is non-combustible. It will not ignite, burn, or feed a fire.

02
Non-decaying
Steel doesn't rot, mould, warp, or feed termites. The frame stays true for decades - no tenting every 10 years needed.

Faster
Pre-cut, pre-punched, labelled off-site. Framing goes up quickly and predictably, compressing the schedule.

04
Precision
Roll-formed from a digital model to millimeter tolerances. What you design is exactly what gets built.

The integrated advantage
From scan to steel, one continuous chain.
The advantage competitors can't match: the same team carries your project from reality capture to fabricated frame, with no hand-offs to lose precision along the way.
Scan
We capture the site or structure with LiDAR, inch-accurate, in a single visit.
Model
The scan becomes a digital model. Every member is engineered and detailed in CAD/BIM.
Roll-form
The model drives the roll-former. Steel is cut, punched and labelled, ready to assemble.
California demand
Built for California's future.
Wildfire (WUI)
Chapter 7A and wildland-urban-interface requirements favour non-combustible assemblies. Steel meets the moment.
Seismic
High strength-to-weight and ductility make cold-formed steel a strong fit for California's seismic demands.
ADUs & rebuilds
Fast, repeatable framing suits ADUs and fire rebuilds, where speed and resilience both matter.
