As a licensed general contractor and custom homebuilder since 1979, I have extensive experience framing with both wood and steel. Steel is my specialty. Steel framing members have the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any building material and are 100% recyclable, with a 68% industry recycling rate. This impressive credential is invaluable when scoring LEED points for your project. A platinum rating is not out of reach when using steel framing. Steel framing is non-combustible, so it will not burn, nor will it contribute fuel to the spread of a fire. Steel framing is in-organic and therefore will not rot, warp, crack, split or creep. Steel is dimensionally stable and will not expand or contract from moisture. This renders your project exceptionally low maintenance, with fewer initial call backs, and solid service and beauty for years to come. The benefits of steel framing far outweigh wood framing because of consistent material quality, produced in strict accordance with national standards with no regional variations. Clean, bright, no mold, no termites, and pricing that competes handily with other framing alternatives. Add to this the fact that we are able to deliver pre-cut framing to the site in most instances, greatly reducing construction noise, job-site waste, and on-site labor and insurance expenses. Wheeler Construction serves Orange County, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego areas and provides state-of-the-art steel construction from residential custom homes to expansive commercial buildings. With over 20 years experience working with steel, Wheeler Construction boasts a large and varied client list and will be pleased to provide references and arrange project visits for you and your team. I have a special affinity for custom homes, and I would love to show you how and why your dream would be best etched with the stability, strength and beauty of steel framing. W.
