About
YOUR PARTNER FROM FRAME TO FINISH
Cold-formed steel (CFS) framing engineering is a complex discipline that requires the expertise of consulting engineers specializing in both structural framing and nonstructural component systems. Salas O’Brien, with over 20 years of experience in consulting engineering for CFS framing, is among the few firms that excel in this field. Our designs couple structural integrity with tailored detailing to meet the needs of your project from frame to finish.
FASTER COMPLETION AND MORE PREDICTABLE COSTS THROUGH ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS
When speed-to-market is crucial, we offer advanced technology CFS solutions including panelization, prefabrication, and modular structures.
The critical path for typical building construction is linear until the core and shell phases are complete, as only the structural trades can progress. Using prefabricated CFS wall panels and/or modular structures speeds up the time it takes to dry-in facilities, allowing all interior trades to begin their work sooner and reducing core and shell construction time by up to 40%. This approach reduces waste, site labor, and construction time while producing a higher-quality product with more predictable costs.
