Problem
Traditional stick-built wood framing is slow, labor-intensive, and subject to material price volatility, jobsite errors, and rework. Builders face unpredictable costs, extended timelines, and long-term durability issues such as warping, mold, and pest damage that erode project profitability.
Solution
Mainefactured Framing provides panelized cold-formed steel framing systems that are pre-engineered and manufactured off-site, then delivered ready to install. Wall panels, floor joists, and roof trusses arrive clearly labeled and layout-ready, eliminating jobsite fabrication and reducing framing time by up to 50%. The company handles engineering, detailing, and BIM coordination, ensuring precision and consistency across projects. Because panelized framing is treated like traditional stick-built methods by inspectors, builders avoid the permitting complexity associated with modular construction while gaining steel's durability, fire resistance, and lower long-term maintenance costs.
Target Audience
Primary customers are developers, general contractors, and architects working on multifamily housing, hospitality, self-storage, subdivisions, custom homes, light commercial, and mixed-use or student housing projects.
