THINGS YOU LEARN THE HARD WAY…..

Many competitors fail to provide a holistic approach to their offerings. Most manufacturers and vendors focus solely on taking plans and producing steel panels, giving little attention to the various issues that can consume construction time and, eventually, profit.

FRAME IT℠ is the process of streamlining cold-formed steel manufacturing with planning, production, and installation, all aimed at reducing construction challenges while enhancing efficiency and profitability!

HOW DO WE PLAN ON ACHIEVING THIS?

Save time and costs by minimizing cross-coordination issues

PLANNING

Do not assume that any plans will effectively align the architectural designs, manufacturing, and contracting processes. Our team will cross-check the design, structure, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings to reduce field installation time and maximize your investment.

Our “in-house” architectural team can efficiently design, engineer, and secure permits for cold-formed steel buildings, managing your project from start to finish.

MANUFACTURING COORDINATION

Frame IT will coordinate and produce a set of Computer-Aided Drawings to assist with the following:

CAD plans that provide the dimension of the outline of the foundation, including the widths of wall assemblies and their impact on slab edges. (Very Important!!)
CAD Floor plans that provide Door and Window rough opening dimensioning.
Implementing strategic maximum panel sizing will help minimize build time.

Coordination/dimensioning of mayor critical Utility locations.
Framing clearances for structural columns, “hold downs”, anchors, etc.
Coordination of clearances between panels, studs, and trusses to facilitate installation.

CONSTRUCTION COORDINATION

Frame IT will coordinate and produce a set of CFS guidelines and plans to assist the contractor with the following:

Pre-Construction Planning, Site Planning and Preparation for CFS (Phasing, site complexities)
Panel Dimensioning (For example, all projects should be looking at their construction crew size to strategically plan assembly optimization).
Discussion of Site Equipment necessary (telescopic lifts, cranes, etc).
Develop ideal nominal dimensions for panel sizes with the CFS Manufacturer prior to fabrication.
Slab/Foundation outline plans to coordinate and prepare for the proper size to support Cold-Formed Steel.
Coordination/dimensioning of critical mayor Utility locations.
"Guidelines, instructions, and outlines to assist in streamlining and installing Cold-Formed Steel Framing."
Shipping Coordination and Scheduling (when outlined in Scope)
