As the United States faces a growing housing shortage, one Steel Framing Industry Association (SFIA) member is showing how steel-framing technology can make a difference. On Tuesday, October 21, Scottsdale Construction Systems held ribbon cutting for Eagles Landing, a barndonimum built for veterans live at METALCON 2025, October 21–23 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Barndominium Features Cold-Formed Steel
Eagles Landing is a 2,500-square-foot, cold-formed steel (CFS)-framed barndominium built for veterans. It features advanced in cold-formed steel (CFS) roll-forming technology for optimizing panel production and construction efficiency. Here’s the ribbon cutting held recently at METALCON 2025.
And here’s a look at the structure’s assembly on the METALCON 2025 exhibit floor:

To build the Eagles Landing at METALCON 2025, crews used forklifts to assemble cold-formed steel (CFS) trusses and wall panels.

Cold-formed steel (CFS) trusses and wall panels are lightweight. Six volunteers assembled the entire structure in 2 days.

Built for a Purpose
Scottsdale is partnering on the project with the Military Warriors Support Foundation, a nonprofit that supports combat-wounded veterans and Gold Star families through payment-free homes and vehicles, as well as life skills training, financial education, and leadership development.
After METALCON 2025, Scottsdale and its partners will ship and reassemble the structure in Hall, Montana. There, it will serve as a rural retreat for combat-wounded veterans.
A Model for Future Housing
As housing demand continues to outpace supply, especially in rural and veteran communities, Scottsdale aims to show how cold-formed steel can deliver strength, speed and sustainability — all while supporting a greater cause. Scottsdale’s Scotpanel and Scottruss roll-forming systems powered the steel roll-forming processes on this project.
Eagles Landing is powered by Scottsdale Construction Systems, a global leader in steel framing and roll forming technology.
Scottsdale and others together contributed to the Eagles Landing project at METALCON 2025.
