Six hard, cold facts about the benefits of AllSteel construction.
Dependable • Durable • Affordable • Reliable
• Responsible • Capable
1. Dependable
AllSteel provides quality you can trust. Steel keeps its shape, resulting in straight walls, square corners, and tight connections. It will not twist, warp, split, bow, shrink, swell, creak, creep, or shift, resulting in fewer call-backs for drywall, squeaky floors or settling-related problems.
2. Durable
AllSteel panelized systems stay where you put them - for as long as you leave them there. With the highest ratio of strength to weight of any building material, steel framing members are stronger and lighter than other framing materials. AllSteel provides quality you can trust.

It will not twist, warp, split, bow, shrink, swell, creak, creep, or shift, resulting in fewer call-backs for drywall, squeaky floors or settling-related problems.
3. Affordable
AllSteel panels are economical and affordable. With less volume and weight than wood, steel costs less to ship to Hawaii, where it is formed and panelized. AllSteel provides dependable, stable-priced steel building materials - while lumber supplies have dwindled and prices increased. The upfront costs for steel are slightly higher than wood, but the gap disappears with decreased framing costs.
4. Responsible
AllSteel is environmentally responsible. Steel is the most recycled material in the U.S., resulting in reduced pressure on forests. AllSteel’s panels are engineered to exact sizes, creating less waste and reducing the landfill crisis. Steel is not chemically treated for termites, is free of adhesives, resin, and other chemicals normally found in other construction materials.
5. Reliable
AllSteel construction means reliable protection. Steel provides defense from termites, fire, earthquakes, hurricane-force winds and corrosion. This improves fire and seismic ratings, structural strength, as well as lowers insurance costs.
6. Capable
The existing workforce is capable of building and framing AllSteel. With just minimal training, workers learn how to quickly erect AllSteel panels. AllSteel can speed the framing process by having your pre-assembled panelized walls, trusses, and flooring systems delivered to the job site. Ultimately, that adds up to lowering labor costs.
