Custom Metal Fabrication Built for Precision

Frame X Systems delivers architect-led custom metal fabrication centered on cold-formed steel framing systems. From early design coordination through precision manufacturing and sequenced delivery, we help project teams reduce field labor, avoid costly clashes, and keep construction moving. Every package is engineered for accuracy, practical installation, and dependable performance across residential, commercial, institutional, and multifamily projects nationwide.

Our Custom Metal Fabrication Services

Coordinated cold-formed steel framing solutions that take projects from early design review to installation-ready delivery.

Framing Design Engineering

Structural design and engineering for cold-formed steel walls, floors, roofs, trusses, shop drawings, and code-compliant documentation tailored to each project.

Constructability Reviews

Technical plan reviews identify conflicts, refine framing efficiency, and resolve coordination concerns before they create field delays, change orders, or unnecessary material waste.

BIM Framing Coordination

Detailed 3D models coordinate cold-formed steel framing with architectural, structural, and MEP systems, helping teams identify clashes and build with greater accuracy.

Architect-Led Design Assist

Early collaboration with architects and project stakeholders improves constructability, engineering feasibility, framing strategy, and cost-conscious decisions before production begins.

Precision Panel Manufacturing

Engineered models guide factory manufacturing of cold-formed steel wall panels, trusses, and framing components for consistent quality, exact fit, and less on-site fabrication.

Sequenced Jobsite Delivery

Installation-ready framing components arrive in a planned sequence, reducing jobsite congestion, material handling, and interruptions to the construction workflow.

Installation-Ready Systems

Fabrication That Solves Problems Early

Custom metal fabrication from Frame X Systems is more than supplying steel. Our architect-led team coordinates design, engineering, BIM models, manufacturing, and delivery into one installation-ready framing package. By addressing constructability before fabrication begins, we help architects, contractors, and developers reduce RFIs, limit on-site adjustments, control labor demands, and move confidently from approved plans to efficient field installation.

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.
