Fast, simple and highly accurate

Intelligent FRAMECAD® software makes engineering, designing and detailing your projects fast, simple and highly accurate, maximizing ROI and producing quality buildings. You can design and detail all steel components together and complete 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.

Save up to 80% on engineering costs.

Easily customizable

FRAMECAD® software can be customized to suit your production facility. Default settings can be modified, and the programs can be loaded with multiple building codes. They also come with a range of loading standards, as well as imperial and metric options.

Less skilled labor needed on-site

Using the FRAMECAD® system simplifies on-site construction. Roll forming machines pre-cut, form, punch, number and label frames and parts, so no welding, cutting or riveting is needed on-site. Assembly is easy with common tools and unskilled labor.

Implementing the FRAMECAD® system allows for:

  • Fast and easy assembly of frames
  • Accelerated erection of frames & less time on-site
  • Reduced number of laborers required on-site
  • Reduced cost of labor
  • Reduced room for error on-site

The skill is design, not on-site

The FRAMECAD® system is a design-led process that shifts the skill of the construction process upstream, with emphasis on the design phase. It produces highly accurate frame measurements so errors are significantly reduced. There is no wait time for re-measuring, re-cutting or re-assembling.

Wide Variety of Applications

Cold formed steel construction and processes are increasingly used by building companies all around the world. The versatile nature of cold formed steel and the FRAMECAD® system allows the rapid and effective construction of mid-rise and residential buildings, warehousing, commercial buildings, facades, modular buildings, pods and more.

Design and construction flexibility is enabled with the FRAMECAD®  system – delivering web joists, trusses, structural framing and internal partitioning suitable for a diverse range of construction types. Because of the time saving and quality assurance gained across a wide selection of applications, it's obvious why FRAMECAD® is The Way the World Constructs.
