Our Steel Fabrication Services

Coordinated cold-formed steel services that take projects from plans to installation-ready framing components.

Constructability Review

We review architectural and structural plans early to identify framing conflicts, improve efficiency, reduce potential change orders, and establish a clearer path to construction.

BIM Framing Coordination

Our 3D BIM coordination aligns cold-formed steel framing with architectural, structural, and MEP systems, helping project teams catch clashes before work reaches the field.

Design Assist

Architect-led collaboration helps optimize building designs for constructability, engineering feasibility, cost efficiency, and prefabricated steel framing performance before final documentation.

Steel Framing Engineering

We develop engineered cold-formed steel systems, including load-bearing walls, floors, roofs, shop drawings, and code-compliant construction documentation for complex building projects.

Precision Panel Manufacturing

Factory-built cold-formed steel wall panels, trusses, and components are manufactured from engineered models to improve accuracy, reduce on-site labor, and support faster installation.

Sequenced Jobsite Delivery

Prefabricated framing components are delivered in installation sequence, helping crews limit jobsite congestion, reduce material handling, and maintain a more organized construction workflow.

Installation-Ready Systems

Fabrication Built for Predictable Construction

Frame X Systems turns coordinated project information into precision-manufactured cold-formed steel framing packages. Our architect-led team collaborates with designers, engineers, developers, and contractors to resolve issues before fabrication begins. With BIM coordination, stamped structural packages, engineered components, and sequenced delivery, teams receive an installation-ready system that supports cleaner jobsites, fewer RFIs, reduced field adjustments, and more dependable schedules 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 is fabrication work in construction?

Fabrication work in construction is the process of turning approved design and engineering information into building components ready for installation. For cold-formed steel framing, that can include wall panels, trusses, floor and roof components, and connection details. Effective fabrication also relies on coordinated drawings, accurate dimensions, engineering requirements, labeling, quality control, and a delivery plan that supports the installation sequence.
