When it comes to large commercial buildings and innovative architecture, metal stud framing plays a critical role in ensuring the building’s long-term durability. It serves as the skeleton of the building, which means the entire project is often dependent on it being installed with precision. As a result, general contractors often can’t afford to hire inexperienced subcontractors or firms they don’t trust to do the job right.
This can become a problem, especially when it comes to larger and more complex designs. The more difficult the job, the more challenging it is to find a subcontractor who can install metal stud framing with efficiency at scale. There is a limited number of subcontractors that have the right skills to tackle these projects.
So where can general contractors find dependable commercial framing subcontractors? The truth is there aren’t many firms in the business that can install tens of thousands of sqft. of metal framing with precision and efficiency. Unique Building Group (UBG) is one of the few subcontractors in the market who specializes in performing some of the most complicated framing jobs. Below, we’ll discuss the importance of metal framing and why you can turn to UBG with confidence to handle this portion of your commercial construction project.
Why Metal Stud Framing Is So Important For Complex Construction
Metal framing is a solution that is used to create building structures. Metal framing is more durable than wood framing, which is often used in residential construction or smaller commercial buildings. Metal framing is the go-to choice for some of the world’s largest, most innovative designs. Metal framing offers uniformity, stability, energy efficiency, and it’s also more fire resistant, which can lead to savings on insurance premiums. As a result, it’s usually the ideal solution for commercial construction.
