Custom Build Your Steel Frame Home
Why Build With Steel?
  • Steel doesn't warp, crack, split, shrink, swell, shift, or bow. It remains
    one of the strongest most durable building materials today.
  • A Steel framed home can be built to withstand up to 155-200 m/hr
    winds providing increased protection from hurricanes and
    tornadoes.  
  • Steel is non-combustible, so a steel frame won't contribute to the
    spread of a fire.
  • A Steel frame is 40% more energy efficient because the depth of the
    steel beams provide more room for insulation.  
  • Because a steel frame can withstand so many natural elements, it will
    reduce your cost on maintenance as well as insurance premiums.  
  • Building with steel is better for the environment.  A steel framed home
    can be made with steel from 6 recycled cars; while it takes an acre of
    full grown trees to build a 2,000 sq ft. house.

About Steel Framing
A custom steel frame home
offers the most design
flexibility.  With steel, the
square footage is unlimited.  
There is possibility for a wide
range of designs.  The frame of
a
Build Plus/ Awe Steel home
fully supports the structure
creating
no need for interior
load- bearing walls
.  You can
add as few or as many walls as
you like.  You can create very
spacious rooms without any
interior support structures and
can be up to 30 ft. wide or
larger.  A wood framed home
doesn't offer that kind of
flexibility.
There are thousands of steel framed
homes, but you would never know
because they can be built to look
like any traditional home. With
Build Plus, you can make your steel
frame look any way you want
because we will take
you through
the process from design to
completion!
