John I had extensive exposure to steel-framed houses in the late 80's /early 90's. We had to have everything engineered for racking etc, and it was truly a painful experience having framers building roof trusses. But the biggest challenge is probably insulation and preventing thermal bridging. All in all though, it was a very interesting experience to explore new territory back then.
I wish you a world of luck and great success at your new business, the challenges are sure to keep you going strong!!

I could not get the vid to work either.

If I where in the market, I would have a number of questions concerning what happens AFTER framing. I know your product is the framing, but you may want to give a few lines of info to what happens after...

"Sheeting and siding applied same as standard stick built"

"Siding choices same as conventional wood framing"

That type of thing, then maybe show some completed structures.

My 2 pennies.

Good Luck with it!

Yes, we are still trying to get the movie to work - not sure why it won't, but we'll get it soon - I hope.
JC - Point well taken. I am targeting the homeowner and small general contractor, with only long-term intentions of doing occupied space - just storage and outbuildings for now.

65Guy - Excellent points, I'll incorporate them in the near future.

Thanks for the input, keep it coming!

Not necessary, what with the storm moving up into the Northeast! Much closer, since shipping would be a bear.
I could make a nice replacement garage for you though!

Yep.
But I can't do anything about shipping!

I sure hope it takes off and does well here.
