BuildSteel, a newly-launched collaboration of steel and construction industry organizations, provides educational resources for building professionals on the uses and benefits of cold-formed steel framing. The www.BuildSteel.org website serves as an educational center, continuously updated with new content and examples showing how steel framing can be used to meet the growing demands placed on building today’s low and mid-rise structures.
Building owners, architects, contractors and engineers may not fully understand all of the design, economic, and sustainable benefits provided by cold-formed steel. The BuildSteel site will fill that gap by providing a wide variety of tools and best practices for all stakeholders. Lightweight, strong, noncombustible and easy to install, cold-formed steel has long been a preferred material for framing in low and mid-rise buildings projects.
