Ready to build but apprehensive about framing?

LET US HANDLE IT

Framing your house our house can be frightening.  It is, after all, the structure of your home that will protect you from the elements and you expect it to not fail.  Our CFS kits and shells are fully engineered to withstand the rigors of keeping the outside in its place and the intense forces faced while driving your home down the road.  Take a load off and let us ensure your house will last a lifetime.

Why frame with Cold Formed Steel (CFS)?

  • Lighten Your Load

    Life happens and plans change.  Whether you’re planning on traveling with your tiny house or not, build with weight in mind and always have a tiny house that can be easily towed.  Save 40-50% on framing weight as compared with traditional wooden framing, allowing you to tow with a smaller vehicle, save on fuel, and reduce vehicle wear and tear.

  • Increased Safety

    Why fuel a fire?  Safety is of utmost importance.  Steel is naturally non-combustible and won’t feed a fire.  By utilizing other fire-resistant materials, make your tiny home as safe as possible.

  • Precision Manufactured

    Every inch matters in a tiny space.  Our CFS frames are precision manufactured to your specifications, allowing you to account for every single inch.  We take your design, engineer the frame to meet code requirements, pre-cut and pre-drill each component for easy assembly, and provide you with a matching set of assembly drawings.

  • Fortress Strength

    Not only do tiny houses need to withstand the normal forces exerted on a home, but they also face routine earthquakes and hurricane strength winds while being towed down the road.  Our CFS frames are 2-3 times stronger than a traditional wood framed house.  Make sure your house can survive what you throw at it.
