Our Structural Steel Fabrication Services

Coordinated cold-formed steel framing services that support efficient planning, manufacturing, delivery, and installation.

Constructability Review

Technical plan reviews identify framing conflicts, improve system efficiency, and address coordination concerns before construction begins, helping reduce RFIs, change orders, and avoidable field adjustments.

BIM Framing Coordination

Detailed 3D BIM models coordinate cold-formed steel framing with architectural, structural, and MEP systems to expose clashes early and support more accurate installation.

Design Assist

Architect-led collaboration helps project teams evaluate constructability, engineering feasibility, prefabrication opportunities, and framing efficiency while designs are still being developed.

Steel Framing Engineering

Frame X Systems develops code-compliant cold-formed steel framing designs, shop drawings, and structural documentation for load-bearing walls, floors, roofs, commercial buildings, and multifamily projects.

Precision Panel Manufacturing

Factory-built wall panels, trusses, and framing components are manufactured from engineered models for dimensional accuracy, reduced on-site cutting, and more predictable field performance.

Sequenced Jobsite Delivery

Prefabricated framing components are delivered in installation sequence to help crews manage staging, reduce material handling, limit jobsite congestion, and keep construction moving.

Architect-Led Solutions

Installation-Ready Framing, Coordinated Before Construction

Frame X Systems is more than a material supplier. We bring design, engineering, BIM coordination, precision manufacturing, and shipping into one coordinated framing package. By resolving constructability concerns before fabrication, project teams receive cold-formed steel components designed for exact fit and efficient installation. Our nationwide delivery model supports custom homes, multifamily developments, commercial facilities, and institutional projects with clearer scope, fewer field surprises, and more predictable schedules.

Portrait of Stephen Baker, Principal Owner and Architect at FrameX Systems

Stephen Baker

Principal Owner / Architect

Stephen Baker is the Principal Owner and Architect of Frame X Systems, bringing over 28 years of construction and architectural experience to the company he founded. As principal of both Frame X Systems and Baker Architects / Baker Studios, Stephen pioneered the architect-led approach to cold-formed steel framing, built on the belief that constructability challenges should be resolved before construction begins rather than during it. He leads the company's design philosophy, integrating BIM coordination and precision manufacturing to deliver installation-ready framing systems nationwide. Stephen is also a prolific educator, producing video content on construction cost savings, insulation techniques, risk management, and framing package specifications for architects, contractors, and developers. His vision continues to drive FrameX's mission of faster, cleaner, and more efficient construction outcomes for clients across the country.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the three types of metal fabrication?

Metal fabrication is commonly grouped into three broad categories: structural fabrication, commercial fabrication, and industrial fabrication. Structural fabrication produces load-bearing components used in buildings and infrastructure; commercial fabrication supports products and building systems; and industrial fabrication serves specialized equipment or production environments. Frame X Systems focuses on engineered, cold-formed structural steel framing components for building construction.
