OUR PROCESS

A Process Built on Precision & Trust

Our integrated 6-step process builds confidence and elimiates risk for our partners.

01

Design & Engineering

Prefabrication in our controlled facility dramatically compresses on-site schedules and reduces labour requirements.

02

Client & Consultant Review

We provide detailed models and shop drawings for your team’s review, comment, and formal approval, ensuring full alignment before fabrication begins.

03

Quality Controlled Fabrication

Approved digital models feed directly into our automated roll-formers in a state-of-the-art facility, ensuring every component is fabricated to exact specifications.

04

Sequenced Delivery

Components are inspected, bundled, and clearly labelled. We load trucks in sequence to match your site schedule, ensuring a smooth off-load and installation process.

05

Professional Installation

Our experienced, certified crews install the entire CFS system efficiently and safely. We can also provide a technical site specialist to support your own installation team.

06

Inspection & Sign-Off

We facilitate and coordinate with third-party, independent inspectors to ensure all work meets or exceeds code, providing you with a fully signed-off structural package.

THE TOTAL BUILDING ADVANTAGE

Why Cold-Formed Steel?

CFS translates to tangible project benefits for developers, GC’s and engineers.

Speed of Construction

Precision engineered CFS design to meet / exceed all applicable codes and consultant drawings.

Design Flexibility

Achieve greater architectural freedom with long spans and custom shapes that are impossible with traditional materials.

Cost-Effectiveness

Reduced schedules, lower insurance rates (non-combustible), and lighter foundation needs provide significant overall project savings.

Strength & Durability

A high strength-to-weight ratio ensures structures are resilient, seismic-resistant and built to last.

Precision & Quality

Machine-fabricated components eliminate on-site guesswork, reduce waste, and ensure every piece is perfect.

Fire & Pest Resistance

CFS is non-combustible and immune to rot, mold, and termite infestation, ensuring building longevity and safety.
