Steel at Forefront of Rise in Prefabricated Construction to Meet Housing Demand

A new report from the National Apartment Association indicates the U.S. must add 4.3 million apartments by 2035to meet the anticipated housing demand. The lack of housing has presented opportunities for multifamily developers as a massive supply of homes is needed to fill this need.

A growing number of building professionals are embracing prefabrication as a means to speed construction without sacrificing quality. Using cold-formed steel (CFS) framing, contractors are building sustainable structures more efficiently, in less time and with lower costs. Read More

Technical Snippet

• Sag rods were utilized as tension members to establish a robust connection between the canopy structure and wall studs.

• Enhanced tensile load resistance, improved load distribution, and minimized structural deflection for increased stability and long-term structural performance.

To achieve a reliable connection between the canopy structure and wall studs, sag rods were incorporated as tension members to enhance tensile load resistance and overall structural performance. The use of sag rods improved load distribution, minimized structural deflection, and provided a robust connection system, ensuring long-term stability and integrity under applied loading conditions.
