Steel Panel Truss TV
Follow our steel build, step by step. Each episode walks you through one real stage of a 100% steel frame project, from the slab to the finished structure. Watch the full series on our YouTube channel.
#14 EXTERIOR FINISHES
This steel frame home is getting closer to completion. See how the exterior finishes bring the full design together, from the roofing and siding to the windows, doors and outdoor details, with every layer adding to a premium home built for strength and precision. Almost complete, with one chapter left.
#12 INSULATION
Once the structure is protected, the focus moves inside. See how proper insulation controls temperature and reduces heat transfer to make the home more comfortable from the inside out, building comfort in before the finishes even begin. Another key step in turning a steel frame structure into a livable, efficient space.
#10 WINDOWS & DOORS
For this workshop area, we installed custom glass overhead doors with an electric opening system.
These openings bring in natural light, enhance functionality, and elevate the overall look of the space.
#08 ZIP SYSTEM
This is the stage where the steel frame starts to get enclosed. See how ZIP System sheathing is installed over the structure, combining structural panels with an integrated air and water barrier to create a stronger, more protected building envelope before dry-in.
#06 HARDWARE
Can a steel frame home withstand hurricanes? It's not just the steel. See how wind loads are calculated to Florida and ASCE 7-22 standards, and how every connection, from anchors to Simpson Strong-Tie® connectors, is engineered to work as one system.
#04 RECEPTION
The first trucks arrive. With the slab curing, the first steel panels and floor joists are unloaded and organized for installation, while production keeps moving at the factory.
#02 PRODUCTION
From design to reality. Watch how panels, trusses and structural components are fabricated with FrameCAD precision to speed up installation and reduce errors on site.
#13 DRYWALL
With the installations and insulation in place, the interior walls start to close and each space begins to take shape. See the drywall process inside this steel frame home, one of the final steps before the finishes begin that brings the project closer to its final look.
#11 INSTALLATIONS
Every installation starts with planning. See how the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems are coordinated with the steel structure so everything fits correctly during construction. Now that planning comes to life on site, bringing the home one step closer to completion.
#09 DRY-IN
After the structure is enclosed comes the dry in stage, when the home starts getting protected from rain and moisture. See how roof underlayment and exterior barriers keep the structure covered and ready before the next phases begin.
#07 COLUMNS
Why does this build need steel columns? See how engineered HSS columns carry and transfer loads in the porch area, placed exactly where the project's engineering requires, never at random.
#05 INSTALLATION
The installation phase begins. Because the panels are pre-engineered and built in advance, the structure goes up faster and cleaner, using non-combustible steel designed for long-term strength.
#03 DELIVERY
While the site was being prepared, the panels were already in production. See how the complete steel package is delivered straight to the job site, ready to start a 100% steel frame home.
#01 SLAB
A steel structure doesn't start with steel, it starts with the slab. See how layout, levels and underground systems are prepared before the concrete is poured, setting the accuracy for the entire project.
