Project Description:
This Project of the Month features a 1-storey residential building with a total built-up area of 1066 sft and a flat roof configuration, delivered with a strong focus on precision detailing and constructability.
Our scope of work included complete engineering, modelling, detailing, CNC production files, ensuring seamless coordination between design intent and on-site execution. A key highlight of this project was the from engineering to production files our team completed in just 2 days. The entire project was developed using Vertex BD, leveraging its advanced detailing capabilities to produce accurate, machine-ready outputs. All components were optimized for production on the Howick machine, ensuring high precision, reduced fabrication errors, and smooth site assembly.
This project reflects our commitment to delivering constructible, efficient, and fabrication-ready solutions for residential buildings using advanced BIM and Light Gauge Steel detailing workflows.

The latest weekly output represents a 5.6 percent increase from the corresponding week in 2025, when production totaled 1,705,000 net tons and utilization stood at 76.5 percent.
On a week-over-week basis, production advanced 1.0 percent from 1,783,000 net tons recorded in the week ending February 7, 2026. Capability utilization during the prior week was 77.1 percent, indicating a steady improvement in operating efficiency and mill throughput. Read More
Technical Snippet
This project is a 1,861 sq. ft. single-storey building with a mono roof, located in Florida, USA. Our scope of work included engineering, 3D modelling, detailing, permit set preparation, and CNC production files, ensuring a seamless workflow from design to manufacturing. The project was carefully developed to maintain structural efficiency while meeting the required design and construction standards.
Instead of conventional trusses, roof panels were adopted for the roofing system to enhance structural efficiency. For the long unsupported spans, a back-to-back profile of a single joist was utilized, enabling better load distribution while reducing overall steel consumption. This approach helped optimize the structural system, delivering a cost-effective and efficient solution for the project.
