The strength of light gauge steel frames allows longer span lengths and larger open spaces without the need for intermediate columns or load bearing walls.

Steel frames are precision engineered, dimensionally accurate, straight and true (there is no need for frame straightening), and they can arrive to site pre-fabricated and ready for installation. Builders and contractors have said that they appreciate the lightweight nature of steel. Delivery to On-Site improves on-site efficiency and also help to reduce waste and carbon footprint.
