Steel framing is a growing trend in residential construction. While it first came onto the scene exclusively for commercial and industrial buildings, its qualities soon convinced homeowners, too.

Structural framing is one of the key components of building a new home and plays a crucial part in the strength and durability of the structure as a whole. The type of frame chosen can, and will, have a significant impact on overall construction costs. Naturally, custom framing costs more per square foot than a prefab.  

When it comes to structures, one generally refers to its frame, which amounts to a building’s structural and load-bearing components. The latter include its roof, beams, columns, slabs, joists, load-bearing walls, and numerous other elements, all of which bear structural loads. Every component is crucial in ensuring the building’s stability and integrity.
