BuildSteel, an alliance of steel and construction industry organizations, announced the release of “How Cold-Formed Steel Framing Solves Challenges for Multi-Family Construction,” an e-book explaining how cold-formed steel framing can help building owners and professionals address challenges in multi-family construction.

“Demand for multi-family housing units is expected to grow by 7 percent this year,” said Dan Snyder, director of BuildSteel. “Building owners and professionals are always looking for ways to control their expenses and material costs to offer affordable units to residents, while also pushing for an efficient construction schedule that enables them to more quickly fill their units and realize a return on their investments. Cold-formed steel framing provides an economical solution to meet these demands.”

•    Economic benefits of using cold-formed steel framing in multi-family construction
