Steel-Frame House Construction

Steel-Frame House Construction
- Used Book in Good Condition
Framing with steel has obvious advantages over wood -- it won't warp, rot or get eaten by insects. Yet building with steel requires skills that can present challenges to the wood-frame builder or framer.

This book explains the secrets of steel framing techniques for building homes -- whether pre-engineered or built by stick framing. It shows, in step-by-step instructions how to build with steel. It shows you the techniques, tools and materials -- even how to estimate steel-framing costs.

You'll find instructions for designing for steel, tools and fasteners you'll need, foundations and anchoring, installing floor joists, standing walls, rafters and rood trusses, specialty framing, stick framing and panelization, thermal considerations, nonbearing walls, attaching exterior finished, working with subcontractors, what to expect during inspections and more.

Includes access to a FREE download with manhours, material, and labor prices, and an estimating program for estimating steel framing costs, along with steel framing details.
