From Submission to Job Site Delivery

Our 5 Step Process for CFS Trusses & Framing Plans to Job-Site Delivery

Our 5 step process for CFS trusses & framing is built to give every contractor, builder, and developer a clear, predictable path from plan submission to on-site delivery. At Florida Steel Frame & Truss Manufacturing (FSFTM), we handle estimating, structural engineering, fabrication, and coordinated shipping so you always know exactly what happens next and when to expect it.
look at the steps

Choose the construction delivery method that best matches your project’s labor availability, shipping requirements, and installation timeline.

panelized-system

Panelization

In the panelized system, steel wall panels are prefabricated in our facility and delivered ready for installation, reducing on-site labor and installation time. We provide material take-offs with estimated pricing, shipping costs per panel, panel shop drawings, and connection details to support accurate installation before delivery.

Flat Pack

In the flat pack system, steel framing components are packaged by panel and labeled for organized on-site assembly. We provide material take-offs with estimated pricing, shipping estimates, panel shop drawings, and connection details to guide the assembly process before delivery.

pre_cut-system

Pre-Cut

In the pre-cut system, steel members are precision cut to the required sizes and delivered to the project site for assembly using shop diagrams. We provide material take-offs with estimated pricing, shipping estimates, and shop drawings to support the installation process.

value-engineering

Value Engineering

With value engineering, FSFTM serves as the Engineer of Record and provides complete structural engineering services. Our team performs structural analysis, prepares structural drawings (SD), optimizes the building design to reduce material usage and weight, and supports fabrication.

Note: Documentation such as material take-offs, shop drawings, and connection details are provided depending on the selected delivery system.

  5. Delivery Coordination & FinalizationWhen production is complete, a member of our team will be in contact to coordinate delivery to the job site. any remaining payment must be submitted before materials are shipped.
