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.

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
Typical Connection – H6 Hurricane Tie
Our team utilized the H6 Hurricane Tie to provide secure connections at stud-to-double-top-plate and rim-joist-to-stud locations, ensuring effective resistance against uplift forces. Its extended length made it well-suited for applications requiring a larger span between framing members while maintaining a continuous structural load path.
How Our Team Used the H6 Hurricane Tie
- Installed H6 Hurricane Ties to strengthen critical framing connections against wind uplift and lateral forces.
- Used the ties to create a continuous load path, improving the building’s overall resistance to wind and seismic loads.
- Applied the connectors in both wood and cold-formed steel framing where required by the project.
- Selected the appropriate left- or right-hand configuration, with paired installation used where additional connection capacity was needed.
- Ensured proper installation in accordance with project specifications to achieve reliable structural performance and long-term durability.
