Benefits of Building with Light Steel Framing Light steel framing, also known as cold-formed steel or CFS is resilient, adaptable, durable, and does not decay or age as quickly as other construction materials like wood, which reduces lifecycle costs of a structure. Resists High Wind/Seismic Loads Resists Termites & Pests Mold Reistant Lower Costs Does Not Burn Corrosion Resistant Light Steel Framing Case Study: Residences at Marriot Oceanfront Residences at Marriott Oceanfront is a five-story beach front condominium project in Virginia Beach. This project was originally designed to be a wood structure but early on in the construction bidding process, The Steel Network performed a Design Assist for the light steel framing contractor, helping them switch the primary structure from wood to cold-formed steel. This process was instrumental in helping the contractor propose a better solution and win the bid. Learn more about this project.
