Cold Formed Steel Is A Modern Approach To Meet Demand
The future of construction lies in sustainable materials that are delivered using fast, modern methods such as a proven CFS solution available in the market. Frametek uses FrameCAD technology which has been providing CFS construction solutions around the world for over 25 years.
Advanced CFS construction methods such as the FrameCAD System can result in faster build times, lower overall costs, scalable design solutions, better building performance and design versatility.
How the CFS Design Led Process Works
DESIGN & ENGINEERING
CFS construction is a design-led process, meaning that the need for skill to construct the building is more in the design stage rather than on-site.
At Frametek we utilize sophisticated design and engineering software that is incredibly accurate, reducing the need for engineer involvement during the detail design, speeding up compliance, reducing engineering cost and minimizing room for error on-site.
MANUFACTURING & PANELIZATION
CFS frames and components are produced and fabricated from structural quality steel coils and are shaped by roll-forming machines.
The tooling at Frametek allows high productivity and versatile output to produce roof trusses, wall frames, and floor joists — all to exact measurements, saving time and costly wastage in the construction stage. Detailed design reduces engineering cost and minimizes errors on-site.
ASSEMBLY & CONSTRUCTION
Panels are delivered with clearly identifiable numbering. No on-site welding or cutting is required. This means that the erection process is fast and simple.
CFS construction can offer a much more predictable construction schedule and less on-site cost than traditional construction methods. Panels are made to precise dimensions meaning windows and doors fit perfectly minimizing error on-site.
