Building a Steel Home / House
Tri-Steel Framing Systems
Tri-Steel homes are pre-engineered and arrive on the jobsite in full kits ready for assembly. All of the pieces for framing are already labeled, cut, drilled, punched, marked and ready to bolt or screw together. Tri-Steel provides a set of construction plans and detailed assembly instructions to show how each wall, opening, and truss is constructed. Tri-Steel Homes go up easily with components being bolted and screwed together quickly and logically.

Tri-Steel homes can be built with any type of foundation and can be finished with any exterior material available: brick, stucco, siding, etc. The completed home is indistinguishable from a conventionally built wood framed house, but delivers the many inherent advantages of steel.

QuickSilver Homes

The QuickSilver Homes use a grid system light-gauge galvanized steel structure. This system takes advantage of the high strength to weight ratio of steel and allows the QuickSilver system to easily attach to a slab foundation. With clear-span technology, QuickSilver can deliver up to 60 feet of unsupported open space and a great deal of flexibility with the roof-line design. QuickSilver designs can be built on a slab, pier-and-beam, or over a basement.

Steel Building Types
Some common types of steel buildings are "straight-walled", "arch" and "clearspan". Straight-walled and the arch type refer to the outside shape of the building. Steel arch buildings are the most cost effective and structurally sound. They are commonly used in the agricultural industry. Straight-walled buildings provide more usable space when compared to arch buildings. They are also easier to blend into existing architecture. Straight-walled buildings are commonly used for office space. Clearspan classification refers to the internal construction. Clearspan steel buildings utilize stronger overhead support beams, thus reducing the need for supporting internal columns. Clearspan steel buildings can be used to store large commercial aircraft or used as public arenas.

Steel Building Components
The modern steel building is composed of many individual segments that have evolved over time. With the recent benefit of Computer Aided Design (CAD) steel buildings have become much safer. The maximum wind load and snow load in particular have increased with the more accurate calculations provided by CAD. These advances have also led to a more efficient manufacturing process as most steel buildings are pre-fabricated. The smaller pre-fabricated steel buildings are simple enough to be constructed by anyone. The larger steel buildings require professional construction workers to ensure proper assembly.
