Framing
 Both nonresidential and residential construction
provide significant growth opportunities for steel framing. These
markets are being developed by the Steel
Framing Alliance.
Steel framing opportunities exist for warehouses, stores/food
service, offices/bank buildings, schools/colleges, and
apartment/assisted living complexes. AISI works with its partners to
grow the markets for steel in framing systems, metal buildings, and
roofing and siding.
Builders can realize significant savings by using steel. Zurich
Insurance offers up to 75 percent savings in insurance premiums for
builders who choose steel for both nonresidential and residential
construction. With these rates, builders can save about $100,000 in
insurance premiums on a $15 million project.
Steel framing opportunities also exist in single-family housing,
apartments and condominiums. Home builders and homeowners select steel
for its durability; resistance to fire, insect damage and extreme
weather conditions; and long-term cost effectiveness.
