The framing components are manufactured and assembled in advance to reduce cutting, measuring and fabrication required at the jobsite.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Depending on the selected package, included components also feature:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"caps\">Pre-assembled steel framing<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Residential blueprints and engineered plans<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Simpson Strong-Tie brackets and fasteners<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>ZIP System roof and wall sheathing with ZIP tape<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Exterior doors and windows<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>29-gauge Tuff-Rib metal roofing<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>29-gauge Tuff-Rib wall cladding<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Fasteners needed for installation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Standing-seam roofing and board-and-batten siding are also available as upgrade options.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Bringing these components together in one package can help homeowners and contractors coordinate an important early phase of construction without separately sourcing every element needed for the exterior shell.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Designed to Help Reach the Dry-In Stage Faster<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">One of the practical goals early in a new-home project is getting the structure protected from the elements so interior work can move forward. Fast Frame packages from Smith&rsquo;s Buildings &amp; Trailers are designed to allow a home to reach a weather-tight stage in a matter of days rather than weeks once construction begins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Pre-assembled framing panels are a major part of that approach. Because much of the framing preparation has already been completed before materials arrive at the property, the system is intended to reduce on-site installation time and minimize some of the errors and material waste that can accompany field fabrication.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Once the exterior is dried in, homeowners can continue the interior portion of the project according to their contractor, budget and construction schedule.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Why Homeowners Are Considering Cold-Formed Steel<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Fast Frame packages use cold-formed steel framing rather than traditional wood framing. According to Smith&rsquo;s Buildings &amp; Trailers, the material offers several characteristics that can appeal to homeowners planning for long-term durability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Cold-formed steel does not warp or shrink and is resistant to pests, mold and mildew. The company also notes that the material is recyclable, while factory-controlled production can help reduce waste at the construction site. Steel framing also provides straight, consistent building components while remaining relatively lightweight for installation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&ldquo;These packages give customers more than a stack of framing material,&rdquo; said Richard Smith of Smith&rsquo;s Buildings &amp; Trailers. &ldquo;The goal is to provide a clearly defined system that helps them move from a home plan to an enclosed structure without having to figure out every framing and exterior component separately.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Homeowners Can Choose From Package-Only or Professional Construction<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Homeowners do not have to take the same approach to installation. Smith&rsquo;s Buildings &amp; Trailers can provide the Fast Frame package for customers working with their own contractor or planning a more hands-on project. The company can also provide professional installation and construction services as a licensed general contractor in Georgia and South Carolina.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">That flexibility gives customers the ability to determine how much of the construction process they want to manage themselves and where professional assistance makes the most sense.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Smith&rsquo;s Buildings &amp; Trailers also offers ground-to-roof construction services that can include site preparation, permitting, concrete, framing and finishes for customers seeking broader project support.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A Local Augusta Resource for Metal Home Projects<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Smith&rsquo;s Buildings &amp; Trailers has served customers throughout Augusta and the Central Savannah River Area for more than three decades.
