Steel Framing
At Jemeson Construction, we understand that strength, durability, and efficiency are key to any successful building project. That's why we specialize in steel framing, a modern construction method that provides unparalleled benefits for a variety of structures. Whether you're building residential, commercial, or industrial properties, steel framing delivers precision, safety, and sustainability. Let’s dive into the advantages of steel frame construction and the types of steel framing available for your projects.
Types of Steel Framing
Light Gauge Steel Framing
Ideal for smaller structures like homes, garages, and interior partitions, light gauge steel framing is similar to wood framing in many ways but offers enhanced durability and fire resistance. It's commonly used in both residential and light commercial projects.
Structural Steel Framing
For larger buildings such as skyscrapers, warehouses, and industrial complexes, structural steel framing is the go-to option. This type of framing uses heavy steel columns and beams to form the skeleton of a building, capable of supporting massive loads and enduring extreme forces.
Panelized Steel Framing
In panelized steel framing, steel sections are prefabricated off-site and then delivered to the construction site as ready-to-install panels. This method speeds up construction time and reduces waste, making it a popular choice for large-scale developments.

Steel Framing Advantages
Durability and Strength: Steel frames are incredibly resilient, withstanding harsh weather conditions, seismic activities, and even fire. Unlike traditional wood framing, steel is resistant to warping, cracking, and shrinking, ensuring that your structure maintains its integrity for years to come.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable: Choosing steel means contributing to an eco-friendly future. Steel is 100% recyclable, making it one of the most sustainable building materials on the market. At Jemeson Construction, we use environmentally responsible steel products, aligning with our commitment to sustainability.
Precision and Flexibility: Steel framing allows for high levels of precision during the construction process. The uniformity of steel components makes them ideal for projects where exact specifications are required. Additionally, steel frames can support more open floor plans, giving architects and designers greater flexibility.
Cost-Effective and Time-Saving: Steel framing can reduce construction time significantly. Prefabricated steel components are easy to transport and assemble, which minimizes labor costs and accelerates project timelines.
Lightweight but Sturdy: Steel frames are lighter than wood, making transportation and handling easier. Despite its lightweight nature, steel remains one of the strongest materials, providing a sturdy foundation for any building.
