Light & Heavy Gauge Steel Frame

Delivering light and heavy gauge steel framing for projects requiring durability, precision, and clean structural performance in residential and commercial construction.

01 · The Service

Steel framing built for durability and precision.

Steel frame construction demands a different kind of precision than wood. The material doesn’t compress, it doesn’t swell, and it doesn’t forgive. When a steel stud is out of plumb or a track is off layout, there’s no adjusting around it — every trade that follows inherits the problem exactly as it was left.

We frame light and heavy gauge steel structures with the same disciplined approach we bring to our wood framing work. Layouts are set precisely. Tracks are fastened to spec. Studs are plumb and at correct spacing. Connections are made to the structural drawings, not approximated from them.

Light gauge steel is our specialty for interior partition systems, non-load-bearing walls, soffits, and ceiling grid framing in commercial and multi-unit residential applications. Heavy gauge cold-formed steel is where we work on load-bearing exterior walls, structural stud systems, and projects where the engineer has specified steel as the primary structural material.

We coordinate closely with your structural engineer and mechanical trades throughout — steel framing requires careful planning around penetrations, lateral bracing, and connection details that wood framing does not. When we leave the site, the structure is plumb, the layout is accurate, and the next trade has a steel frame worth working from.

02 · Scope of Work

What's included.

L

Drawing Review

Full review of structural and architectural drawings before any steel is ordered — stud gauge, spacing, and connection details confirmed with the engineer.

L

Foundation Framing

Track layout set precisely to plan on every floor level — reference lines established before any studs are installed.

L

Floor Systems

Light gauge steel partition framing for non-load-bearing interior walls, soffits, and ceiling systems in commercial and residential applications.

L

Wall Framing

Heavy gauge cold-formed steel stud framing for load-bearing exterior walls and structural systems as specified by the structural engineer.

L

Roof Structure

Lateral bracing, bridging, and blocking installed to structural specifications — critical to steel frame stability and performance.

L

Structural Steel Integration

Penetrations for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades planned and coordinated before framing begins to protect structural integrity.

L

Sheathing

Steel connections made to the structural drawings — fastener type, pattern, and spacing all executed to spec, not approximated.

L

Inspection Hand-off

Structural inspections coordinated with your engineer and inspector. We remain on site until all connection and framing sign-offs are complete.

L

Site Clean-up

All steel offcuts, packaging, and site waste removed before we leave. Clean hand-off to the next trade.

03 · How It Works

Our process.

01

Drawing Review & Material Confirmation

We review your structural and architectural drawings in full before any steel is ordered. Stud gauge, spacing, height limitations, connection details, and bracing requirements are all confirmed with the engineer before we begin.

02

Estimate & Coordination Plan

You receive a clear scope and price. We also identify any mechanical, electrical, or structural coordination items that need to be resolved before framing starts — penetration locations, lateral brace points, and connection details that affect the trades that follow.

03

Precise Steel Installation

Tracks are set to layout. Studs are installed plumb and at correct spacing. Connections are made to the structural drawings. Bracing and bridging go in as the frame rises — not as an afterthought at the end.

04

Inspection & Hand-off

We coordinate structural and framing inspections with your engineer and inspector. When every connection is verified and the frame is signed off, the site is clean and the next trade is ready to start.
