Once a delivery of 8 Diamonds materials arrives on the jobsite, a wall can be in place in as little as 20 minutes. General contractors require smaller space to stockpile materials and process waste.
CFS provides numerous advantages in terms of the construction process itself. CFS is light making it easy to ship, handle and assemble.
Moreover, greater strength means less material. For example, if a project calls for stick framing, the strength of CFS allows it to be installed on 24” centers rather than traditional 16” centers — meaning fewer studs to install.
And because CFS is manufactured to exact standards, it is ideally suited for manufacturing into panels and trusses which — because CFS is light in weight — can be quickly and easily installed with fewer framers on the job.
Given those advantages, some builders have found that ordering factory-manufactured steel panels and trusses is an ideal way to move into steel framing because it minimizes the need for skilled framers, and provides access to experienced design and layout pros.
In addition to speeding up the framing process, CFS panels contain pre-punched holes designed to accommodate rapid mechanical, electric and plumbing installation after the framing is complete.
