- An Important Decision For Today's Builder
- The explosion is ignited. According to the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI),
approximately 25% of all homes in the next 5 years will be built with steel framing. Just
as sheet-rock replaced lath and plaster, as computers changed the way we do business,
residential steel framing is replacing lumber with the same speed and certainty. The ever
escalating price of lumber, the superiority of steel and public demand have put steel
framed homes in the forefront.
Today's builders must understand the forces of change
within the industry, and prepare to capitalize on these changes. Classic Steel Frames
Homes management has spent years in this development and stands ready to assist you
through a smooth transition from sticks to steel!
- Builders Without Expertise With Steel
- Builders who have recognized the benefits of steel but not the critical need for
engineering expertise, have simply substituted studs and joists with steel components
using wood frame technology. This type of "Stick-for-Stick" construction places
the burden of engineering, steel detailing/cutting, estimating and multi-sourcing on the
builder. What follows is a grave decrease in profits due to increased labor cost, needless
scrap and an array of problems in post-framing construction.

- Classic Builders Proven Experience
- Bringing all the aforementioned benefits of steel to practical form is Classic's
"Pre-Engineered Framing System" painstakingly developed over many years and
field tested with many homes already constructed. As a Classic Builder, you receive
one-stop shopping for a complete pre-engineered, bolt-together system with all the
materials and instructions you need to quickly erect a home.
- Benefits of Becoming a Classic Builder
- Once you become a Classic Builder, you have at your disposal a library of floor plans,
all carefully engineered with comprehensive blueprints and training program unequalled in
the marketplace. And due to the fact that no interior walls will require load bearing
attributes, our AUTOCAD plans can be easily integrated with architects' and builders' own
customized floorplans. As an option we can send one of our "working
supervisors" to your building site for further training of your work crews. Once you
order a pre-engineered model, all framing related materials are
shipped to your site ready to simply "bolt-together" in a matter of days.
- Helping Our Builders Be Successful
- It is important to note that Classic's primary interest is in setting up and promoting
our builders in their marketplace in order to sell homes. The nominal charge of
$495 for becoming a Classic Builder underscores our commitment to help you build and sell
homes, as opposed to simply selling "dealerships".
