Cold-formed Steel Stud Specs: What Architects and Engineers Need to Design Construction Projects

Join us as Daniel explains how US Frame Factory collaborates with architects and engineers to support their construction designs with cold-formed steel (CFS). In this video, we cover the intricacies of using CFS, the role of SSMA and ICC reports, why architects create specifications, and how USFF ensures compliance while streamlining the design process.

If you're an architect or engineer looking for a reliable CFS manufacturer, this video will help you understand why partnering with USFF can benefit your projects.
