Questions
Common questions about cold-formed steel
Cold-formed steel does not rot or warp, termites do not damage it, and it is recyclable. Steel is non-combustible; fire ratings depend on the complete wall or floor assembly.
EBS's published comparison for 12 townhouses of 2,000 sq. ft. each gives framing estimates of about $1,056,000 and 8–10 months for traditional construction, compared with $960,000 and 2–3 months for the EBS system. Ask us for a quote and schedule for your project.
EBS Global's published wind design capability is up to 180 mph (290 km/h). Tell us about the site and expected conditions so we can review the requirements.
