A Frame That Saves Trees and Time
Galvanized steel framing can be produced from recycled automobiles and other reclaimed metal. That same steel can frame a 2,000 square foot house with far less timber waste than a conventional wood system—and it can be recycled again at the end of the building’s life.
Durability is part of the environmental case. A structure designed for a 100-year service life does not need to be replaced on a lumber cycle. Termite resistance, fire performance, and dimensional stability all reduce the hidden cost of repairs and material replacement.
COLECON LLC treats sustainability as a construction method, not a slogan: precise manufacturing, less job-site waste, and a steel frame built to stay in service long after the first owners have moved on.
