Strength starts with the frame.
Rigid-frame steel columns and rafters create the foundation for a wide range of building layouts.
Room to work. A plan to build.
Rigid-frame buildings use primary steel columns and rafters, with secondary framing supporting the roof and wall panels. A clear-span layout can reduce interior columns where the engineered design allows it.
Framing is one part of the complete project. Foundations, insulation, doors, finishes, and site work need to be coordinated with the building design.
