PEO Oakville - Designing with Cold-Formed Steel

We are seeing a growing demand for cold-formed steel as the preferred building material for residential structural framing, as well as roof and wall systems across (Industrial/Commercial/Institutional) ICI and residential construction. This presentation will explore the unique structural capabilities of cold-formed steel and guide engineers to the key resources and standards required for effective specification. An overview of the steel framing certification program will also be provided, highlighting its role in ensuring quality and consistency in the marketplace.
