Framing Engineering
Structural design and engineering for cold-formed steel walls, floors, roofs, and truss-related framing, supported by code-compliant documentation and shop drawings.
Frame X Systems delivers architect-led steel panel truss solutions designed, engineered, manufactured, and sequenced for efficient installation. Through early collaboration, BIM coordination, and precision-built cold-formed steel components, we help project teams reduce field labor, prevent clashes, and keep construction moving. From custom homes to commercial and institutional builds, every framing package is developed for accuracy, durability, and a more predictable jobsite experience.

Coordinated design, engineering, manufacturing, and delivery support for installation-ready cold-formed steel framing packages.
Structural design and engineering for cold-formed steel walls, floors, roofs, and truss-related framing, supported by code-compliant documentation and shop drawings.
Early collaboration with architects and project teams to optimize steel panel truss layouts for constructability, engineering feasibility, cost efficiency, and prefabricated installation.
Three-dimensional modeling coordinates steel framing with architectural, structural, and MEP systems, helping identify clashes before components reach the jobsite.
Technical plan review identifies framing conflicts, installation constraints, and efficiency opportunities early, helping reduce RFIs, rework, change orders, and construction delays.
Factory-built cold-formed steel panels, trusses, and framing components are manufactured from engineered models for dimensional accuracy and reduced on-site fabrication.
Prefabricated steel framing components are delivered in installation sequence, reducing material handling, jobsite congestion, and interruptions to the construction workflow.
Steel panel trusses perform best when design, engineering, manufacturing, and delivery work as one coordinated system. Frame X Systems brings those disciplines together through the Frame X System™, giving architects, contractors, and developers installation-ready cold-formed steel components built from coordinated models. The result is a cleaner jobsite, less field cutting and adjustment, fewer avoidable RFIs, and a dependable path from approved plans to installed framing.

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.
Steel panel trusses are prefabricated cold-formed steel framing assemblies used to support roof, floor, or wall framing requirements within a coordinated structural package. They are manufactured from engineered models and designed to work with adjacent panels and structural elements. Their precision helps reduce field cutting, material handling, and installation adjustments compared with assembling individual components on site.
