Other Services we offer

Preparation of your submittal package

4 to 6 weeks (This will vary depending on the size of the project)

To streamline the journey of obtaining permits, we offer a comprehensive submittal package tailored to meet the common requirements of building authorities across the United States. Our goal is to make the permitting process as smooth and efficient as possible for our clients.

The Permit Submittal Package includes essential components such as:

MEP plans (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) Plans
Comprehensive architectural plans
Site plans
Title 24 compliance (if necessary)
Energy requirement sets (if needed)
Structural engineering calculations specifically tailored for the steel stud framing system or other building systems.
Foundation blueprint plans designed by an engineer for your structure or home.

Framing Engineering Process

Timeline:

The engineering for the framing will take approximately 4 to 6 weeks in most cases, it will depend on the project size . This process involves close collaboration between the architect or our engineer and the manufacturing team responsible for creating the building system. A CAD/DWG file will be required.

Joint Effort:

The engineering and manufacturing teams will focus on various aspects of the building, including determining the spans and gauges of the cold-formed steel (CFS) sections, ranging from 16 to 20 gauge. The teams will utilize a combination of 5.5, 6-inch and 3.5 and3 5/8-inch studs, and depending on the size of the job and levels /storeys, they will be assessing the amount of red iron needed and identifying specific areas where it should be used.

Other Considerations:

The teams will consider factors such as the foundation type and design, along with the anchors and fasteners for the building connections. We offer the capability to design and create the foundation and any type of foundation.

Building System Creation:

Upon completion of the engineering, the CFS building system will be created for the building, ensuring a seamless construction experience. During fabrication, the manufacturing team will also utilize the MEP plans to pre-punch holes in the framing system studs for electrical and plumbing work. We can also add straps or extra studs where fixtures such as TVs, kitchen cupboards, or air conditioning units will be installed. Additionally, 2×4 or 2×6 wood blocking can be added on-site, as the CFS are C channels, facilitating easy wood blocking within the stud channels.
The manufacturing for this structure will be completed at the closest fabrication facility and will take approximately 4 to 6 weeks at most.
Post-Approval and Fabrication Process: 4 to 6 weeks
Fabrication Commences: The fabrication of the frame begins as soon as the plans are approved, and grading and foundation construction are underway.
Frame Delivery: The frame will arrive on-site, either in time for or before the foundation is ready, ensuring timely erection.
Support and Assistance: We offer team support to assist with the erection process, especially for those new to working with Cold-Formed Steel (CFS).
Ease of Construction: Our building system is designed for unskilled workers, providing comprehensive instructions and full support from our team to streamline the process.

Installation Support:

Our installation support team will be on-site for up to 5 days to assist with the framing structure installation, answer any questions, and aid with the erection process.
