Structural steel can successfully accomplish any design the architect and structural engineer can imagine--from a simple, functional structure to a complex, visually stunning masterpiece

Structural steel framing systems can bring the architect's vision to life while addressing complex structural challenges. Steel can make floors float, walls disappear and natural light flow into interior spaces. The light and airy feel that structural steel can convey is almost magical, and its inherent design flexibility is limitless. Whether it is a curved slab edge, an unencumbered column-free space or a heavily loaded equipment room, steel can provide an elegant and cost-effective solution.  No other framing material comes close to structural steel's ability to encourage freedom of expression and design creativity.
