Can cold-formed steel buildings simplify construction while shortening the overall project cycle?
Absolutely, according to Ryan Cox.
Ryan is the business development manager for Fastform Buildings, Schulte Building Systems’ cold-formed building line, and brings 21 years of experience in the steel building industry—including eight years focused specifically on cold-formed buildings.
In this DemoCast hosted by Metal Construction News editor-in-chief Anthony Capkun, Ryan explores how an all-cold-formed structural system, standardized components, bolted connections, and lighter, shorter framing members can simplify erection and reduce equipment and labor requirements.
He also examines how cold-formed buildings can accommodate applications ranging from workshops and agricultural buildings to offices, light industrial facilities, barndominiums, and increasingly complex designs with mezzanines, overhangs, and wraparound lean-tos.
A highlight of the DemoCast is the audience Q&A, which explores seismic design, cold-formed steel versus wood pole barns, differences from traditional pre-engineered metal buildings, erection requirements, building width and height considerations, clearspans, roof pitches, and where cold-formed systems may—or may not—make economic sense.
