Residential Steel Framing
Green Monkey is a one stop shop for metal stud framing kits, prefabricated panels, and trusses for residential projects.
With computer-aided design, we manufacture custom, easy-to-assemble, panelized wall kits for homes, ADUs, Tiny Homes, Studios, and other applications. Green Monkey’s steel framing kits provide contractors and home builders a high quality and durable alternative to wood and stick framing.
Replacing traditional wooden frames with steel creates a sturdy, accurate, stable, and long-lasting building. Steel frames are significantly more versatile than typical lumber in terms of size and design. Some advantages include
- Save money and time on labor with kits erected in a day.
- Pre-engineered material, cut to precision
- Dimensionally stable, resisting changes in moisture
- Lightweight compared to wood and concrete
- Resilient, avoiding warping, splitting, or cracking in the elements
- Sustainable and 100% recyclable
- Durable with high tensile strength
- Non-combustible, providing a safety net against fire incidents
Manufacturing Process
The manufacturing process begins by importing computer-aided-drawing (CAD) design files into a automated steel roll former. The roll former shapes and cuts steel coils into the stud and track. As the material rolls through the machine, service holes and indentations are punched. Studs slot into place with track to create wall panels and trusses.
What does working with us look like?
We will look at your existing architectural drawings and give you a broad price range. Then for a small fee, we can draft them on CAD/Revit software. Once a 3D model is made, we will give accurate price estimates and draft shop drawings for production. Cost is based on the amount of material/labor and is competitive with traditional construction.
On-site Framing Kit Assembly
With smaller projects, no heavy machinery is required. Most panels can be carried by two people. Kits can be assembled with simply just a drill and screws.
