Lowest Installed Cost!!!

Our technical department concentrates on giving you the lowest installed cost, which is true to the cost of the job. Your lowest cost is not necessarily the lowest bid. Our technical department works to keep your overall costs down by focusing on the following:


  • Spotting Design problems and situations that will not work before they reach the field.
  • Consultation with project architects and/or engineers to solve problems discovered with plans during the bid process.
  • Designing for the most cost-effective installation process by simplifying areas that may cause installation problems for the framer where possible.
  • Reducing material needed on jobsite for permanent bracing with designs requiring less lateral bracing.
  • Fast turn-around of shop drawings due to our extensive front end work done during the bid process.
  • Consultation services available with both the contractor and the framer to assure concerns are addressed prior to fabrication when needed.
