Whether your construction company chooses to operate in the residential or non-residential sector, cold formed steel (CFS) is a reliable construction method that allows you to commit to tight timeframes and budgets with confidence.

CFS is not limited to a particular building application and can be used in conjunction with other materials.

Whatever your professional project or business model, CFS can work to meet your construction goals and objectives.

Our new eBook explores the following:

• The benefits and advantages of Cold Formed Steel
• The (endless) building applications made possible by Cold Formed Steel
• The multiple CFS construction methodologies
• Real life case studies.
  

FRAMECAD® Structure is a comprehensive detailing and design software package with advanced computer-aided engineering capabilities. 

This fast, yet accurate software delivers real time engineering calculations as the designs are created,and can produce over 25,000 calculations per square meter of roof and walls in seconds; a task which would take days, or potentially weeks, if done manually.

30 years of innovation – how FRAMECAD has re-framed the construction industry

In 1987, Mark Taylor saw an opportunity to do things better: he launched FRAMECAD. In 30 years, FRAMECAD has grown from providing consultancy and support to become an integrated set of intelligent software and manufacturing systems. This, combined with exceptional customer support enable the FRAMECAD system to provide an end-to-end design and build solution for Cold Formed Steel, also known as CFS construction. Below is an overview of the key accomplishments over the last 30 years at FRAMECAD.

 FRAMECAD software is advanced, integrated, and saves you time and money.

There are four major components of the FRAMECAD Software suite:

• FRAMECAD Structure
• FRAMECAD Detailer
• FRAMECAD Factory 2, and
• MyFRAMECAD - a cloud-based portal that supports clients and ties the software suite together.
  

When getting a new building project off the ground, delays caused by engineering reviews and revisions are inevitable. Or are they? 

There is a better way; the FRAMECAD Cold Formed Steel intelligent software suite.

As you take your project though design, pre-engineering, drafting and engineering phases, there are multiple points at which revisions will be made.

Those revisions can impact engineered elements of the building, requiring the attention of engineering consultants. Not knowing when the engineering revisions will be approved can be frustrating. It also drives up cost.

FRAMECAD Cold Formed Steel Design and Engineering software allows you to sidestep these issues.
