Multifamily Design and Construction Solutions

Frame X Systems helps multifamily developers, architects, and contractors move from early planning to installation-ready cold-formed steel framing with greater confidence. Our architect-led team coordinates design, engineering, BIM, manufacturing, and sequenced delivery to reduce field conflicts, labor demands, and costly change orders. Build with precise components, clearer documentation, and a framing strategy designed to keep your project advancing.

Our Multifamily Design and Construction Services

Coordinated cold-formed steel services that support multifamily projects from feasibility review through installation-ready delivery.

Design Assist

Collaborate with an architect-led team early to refine multifamily building layouts, framing strategies, engineering feasibility, and prefabrication opportunities before documents are finalized.

Constructability Review

Identify design conflicts, improve framing efficiency, and resolve coordination issues before construction, helping reduce change orders, field adjustments, and schedule-disrupting RFIs.

BIM Coordination

Coordinate cold-formed steel framing in a 3D BIM model alongside architectural, structural, and MEP systems to uncover clashes and improve installation accuracy.

Steel Framing Engineering

Receive code-compliant cold-formed steel framing design, structural documentation, shop drawings, and engineered solutions for load-bearing walls, floors, and roof systems.

Precision Panel Manufacturing

Factory-built cold-formed steel wall panels, trusses, and components are manufactured from coordinated models for exact fit, reduced waste, and less on-site labor.

Sequenced Delivery

Installation-ready framing components arrive in a planned sequence, helping crews limit site congestion, reduce handling, and maintain momentum during multifamily construction.

Installation-Ready Framing

Build Multifamily Projects With Greater Certainty

Frame X Systems brings multifamily teams a coordinated path from plans to installation-ready cold-formed steel framing. Instead of treating framing as a material purchase, we align design assist, engineering, BIM coordination, precision manufacturing, and delivery around your project’s requirements. That early collaboration helps reduce RFIs, limit field modifications, control material waste, and support more predictable schedules across apartment, mixed-use, and other multifamily developments nationwide.

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.
