Why Should Contractors Use Cold-Formed Steel in Mid-Rise Construction?

Why Should Contractors Use Cold-Formed Steel in Mid-Rise Construction - iSPAN

If you are a contractor seeking new ways to save time, money and frustration, consider cold-formed steel structural systems. Relying on prefabricated joists can make for a far more efficient job site, especially when you trust one cold-formed steel joist – TotalJoist.

Cold-Formed Steel Can Be Supplied As Contractors Need It

Just-in-time delivery ensures that a small working site isn’t crowded with building materials waiting to be installed.

TotalJoist Floors Have Easy Component Integration

Each end of a cold-formed-steel TotalJoist has adjustable ‘shoes’ which take into account onsite variations and can also easily connect to other building materials, such as wood, concrete and structural steel.

Cold-Formed-Steel Construction Has Fewer Questions

The TotalJoist design process takes the guesswork out of being a GC. Each detail, from exact window measurements to HVAC system placements, is decided upon early on. Materials can then be procured earlier, with everything planned out well in advance.

Onsite Project Management and Installation Options Available

We assign a project manager to every job. They help our client’s needs and ensure a fast, efficient installation of the TotalJoist system. Depending on the location and project type, we may even provide installers.  

Easy to Install Using Installation Plans and Numbered Components

Detailed erection schedules are provided to your team in consultation with the erector. Takeoffs are generated using information from the BIM models, ensuring a high level of accuracy. Every joist is numbered and laid out on our construction drawings to eliminate any confusion during the installation of the floor joists.
