Project Description:
This project showcases an innovative Residential construction that includes a basement, first floor and roof using Light Gauge Steel Framing (LGSF) walls, we have done floor framing system, roof framing system, wall framing system.
Initially, we received the architectural, HVAC plans from the client. Our dedicated team then executed comprehensive engineering, modelling, and detailing in accordance with these plans, leading to the submission of well-prepared production files and permit sets.
A standout feature of this project is the striking hip roof and Mono Roof designed using LGSF In Florida, USA that enhances both aesthetics and functionality. Furthermore, a significant achievement of our team was the seamless conversion of Vertex CNC files to Arkitech machine files, which streamlined our production process and improved overall project efficiency.
Following SIMPSON STRONG-TIE Connectors were meticulously integrated into the project to fortify structural cohesion and compliance with engineering standards.
Software: Vertex BD
Machine Used : Arkitech Advanced Construction Technologies
Industry Insights
When a wall of fire swept through the hillside neighborhood of Pacific Palisades in early 2025, it left behind a trail of destruction. Entire blocks of timber-framed homes were reduced to ash.
