BuildSteel, an alliance of steel and construction industry organizations, announced the release of “How Cold-Formed Steel Solves Design Challenges for Architects,” a complimentary e-book explaining how architects and structural engineers can take advantage of cold-formed steel (CFS) framing to solve complex architectural challenges.
“Every building is as fundamentally unique as the people that inhabit it. Selecting the material for a building’s framing structure is perhaps one of the most critical decisions made during the design phase,” said Dan Snyder, director of BuildSteel. “Often architects and engineers select CFS framing for its durability, design flexibility and cost-effectiveness, but there are numerous other ways CFS can help bring their visions to life.”
