Our Custom Engineering and Fabrication Services

Integrated cold-formed steel framing services that support smarter planning, accurate manufacturing, and installation-ready delivery.

Constructability Review

Technical plan reviews identify conflicts, improve framing efficiency, and help prevent RFIs, delays, and change orders before construction begins.

BIM Framing Coordination

Detailed 3D coordination aligns cold-formed steel framing with architectural, structural, and MEP systems to reduce clashes and field adjustments.

Design Assist

Architect-led collaboration helps project teams optimize framing concepts for feasibility, cost efficiency, constructability, and prefabricated steel production.

Structural Engineering

Code-compliant cold-formed steel framing design includes load-bearing walls, floors, roofs, shop drawings, and stamped structural packages.

Precision Panel Manufacturing

Factory-built steel wall panels, trusses, and components are manufactured from engineered models for accurate fit and reduced onsite labor.

Sequenced Site Delivery

Installation-ready framing components arrive in a coordinated sequence that reduces material handling, congestion, and disruption on active jobsites.

Installation-Ready Systems

Resolve Framing Challenges Before They Reach Site

Frame X Systems combines design insight, structural engineering, BIM coordination, and precision fabrication into one coordinated cold-formed steel framing package. Rather than simply supplying material, we work with architects, engineers, developers, and contractors to address constructability early. The result is an installation-ready system with accurate components, clearer documentation, fewer field modifications, and delivery sequencing that supports a more predictable construction schedule nationwide.

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 does custom engineering and fabrication include?

Custom engineering and fabrication combines preconstruction review, framing design, structural engineering, BIM coordination, shop drawings, precision manufacturing, and shipment planning. For cold-formed steel projects, these services create a coordinated package of wall panels, trusses, and framing components made to match approved project documents. The goal is to improve fit, reduce onsite fabrication, and make installation more predictable.
