Prefabricated Thermasteel frames and roof trusses offer improved savings in time, material and labour costs. Working from structural drawings, complete Thermasteel wall sections are fabricated in the factory and then delivered to the construction site ready for immediate assembly. Wall and floor frames, as well as roof trusses, can be erected quickly and a complete enclosure can be provided in a matter of days. The Thermasteel System permits construction to proceed year-round even in severe climates. It allows contractors to schedule projects during the off-season when labour is more readily available. Another significant benefit of using a prefabricated frame is a marked reduction in on-site theft and vandalism. Using this system, losses in these areas are virtually eliminated. Construction schedules are substantially shortened by the faster turn-around times offered by the Thermasteel building system thereby reducing costs and increasing profits.
