Custom Build Your Steel Frame Home
There are thousands of homes in the U.S. that have
been built with steel frames, but you would never
know because they look just like traditional built
homes.  
A custom steel frame home
offers the most design flexibility.  
With steel, the square footage is
unlimited.  There is possibility for
a wide range of designs.  The
frame of a build plus/ Awe Steel
home fully supports the structure
creating no need for interior
load- bearing walls.  You can
add as few or as many walls as
you like.  You can create very
spacious rooms without any
interior support structures and
can be up to 30 ft. wide or
larger.  A wood framed home
doesn't offer that kind of
flexibility.
Why Build With Steel?
  • Steel doesn't warp, crack, split, shrink, swell, shift, or bow. It
    remains one of the strongest most durable building materials
    today.
  • A Steel framed home can be built to withstand up to 155 m/hr
    winds providing increased protection from hurricanes and
    tornadoes.  
  • Steel is non-combustible, so a steel frame won't contribute to
    the spread of a fire.
  • A Steel frame is 40% more energy efficient because the depth
    of the steel beams provide more room for insulation.  
  • Because a steel frame can withstand so many natural
    elements, it will reduce your cost on maintenance as well as
    insurance premiums.  
  • Building with steel is better for the environment.  A steel
    framed home can be made with steel from 6 recycled cars
    while it takes an acre of full grown trees to build a 2,000 sq.
    Ft. house.    
How is a steel frame home built?
Heavy Gauge steel framing

preference.  Any type of materials
