Project Description:
This project showcases an innovative Geometrical Residential construction that includes a basement, first floor, second floor, and roof using Light Gauge Steel Framing (LGSF) walls, floor trusses, roof trusses, a staircase.
A standout feature of this project is the striking vaulted ceiling, along with a thoughtfully designed LGSF staircase that enhances both aesthetics and functionality. Furthermore, our team used VertexBD software for Modeling and Detailing, Strap for Engineering. XXH Machine is used for production which streamlined our production process and improved overall project efficiency.
Software:
Engineering: STRAP
Modelling & Detailing: VERTEX BD
Machine : Xiamen Xinhonghua Machinery Co., Ltd.
Industry Insights
If there was ever a moment that captured the energy and evolution of cold-formed steel (CFS) engineering, it was the 2025 CFSEI Expo, held May 19–21 in Raleigh. Engineers, researchers, students and industry professionals from across the world gathered to explore the latest advances in steel framing — through a lineup of sessions that ranged from seismic design and artificial intelligence to a debut segment on emerging technologies.

Technical Snippet
H6 Hurricane Tie
The H6 single-sided hurricane tie is designed to resist moderate to high uplift loads at the stud-to-double-top-plate and the rim-joist-to-stud connections. The length of the tie makes it ideal for applications where spanning a larger distance between members is necessary.
Key Features
- Forms part of a continuous load path to resist wind and seismic forces
- Suitable for both wood and cold-formed steel applications
- Available in left- and right-hand models; can be installed in pairs
