Everything. Yes, with Colt Steel you are able to design and build everything above the foundation, including roof trusses, floor joists, load bearing and non-load bearing walls.
From individual clients, builders, suppliers and contractors alike we will take in orders big and small.
Yes. Our system can improve everything from conceptual design to shop drawings, though we recommend Colt be brought in early to work directly with the architect as Engineer of Record for best cost, schedule, material and weight reduction.
Step 1: Give us a call or email to set up a meeting. From here we will either help design a set of plans for you with our architects and engineers or we can help assist with your set of plans.
Step 2: Colt converts the project into CFS with its engineering software and provides a cost proposal.
Step 3: If accepted, that file is then sent to engineering for a final detailing and stamp.
With the speed of production and ease of assembly, the project schedule for framing is substantially reduced up to 50%. As a result of the process, other construction trade schedules and costs are reduced since they punch holes, drill or cut anything on-site.
No. If it can be designed with CAD software, it can be built using Colt Steel. Since steel framing allows for larger spans in the design of the home, fewer interior load bearing walls are needed, making renovation very easy while allowing more flexibility in design.
Yes, all projects are designed to US building codes and current IBC standards.
Yes. All projects are designed to meet or exceed local wind, snow and seismic codes, even up to seismic 5. The engineering software accepts those inputs and converts the design to optimize the use of steel.
Yes – Our methodology uses both generic and proprietary assemblies.
Fire Assembly
Sound Assembly
Load Bearing and Ceiling Assembly
Economically, we suggest a maximum of about 10 floors, but from a design perspective the methodology can go much higher, though doing so may incorporate more steel. Contact your Colt representative to discuss your specific project.
All Colt projects use galvanized steel coated material at varying degrees appropriate to the local environmental conditions. The non-combustible properties and strength of steel offer greater protection for homes, buildings or any project, and can eliminate high wind and lightning damage to your home. Galvanized steel will not crack, shrink, splinter, creep, split, warp, swell or rot, and it is impervious to termites and wood destroying insects.
By using CFS, Builders Risk insurance premiums can be reduced by over 50%.
