Truss Engineering
Code-conscious cold-formed steel roof, floor, and load-bearing framing design with coordinated shop drawings and structural documentation for project-specific requirements.
Frame X Systems delivers architect-led, installation-ready cold-formed steel truss systems for Alabama builders, developers, and design teams. From early plan review through engineered manufacturing and sequenced delivery, we help reduce field adjustments, labor demands, and costly coordination issues. Our precisely modeled framing packages support durable, efficient roof structures suited to residential, commercial, institutional, and multifamily projects across the state.

Coordinated engineering, manufacturing, and delivery services for installation-ready cold-formed steel truss packages.
Code-conscious cold-formed steel roof, floor, and load-bearing framing design with coordinated shop drawings and structural documentation for project-specific requirements.
Technical plan reviews identify framing conflicts, improve installation efficiency, and help prevent costly field changes before Alabama construction begins.
Detailed 3D framing coordination aligns steel trusses with architectural, structural, and MEP systems to reduce clashes, RFIs, and on-site adjustments.
Architect-led collaboration helps project teams refine truss layouts, framing strategies, engineering feasibility, and constructability during early design development.
Factory-built cold-formed steel trusses and panels are manufactured from engineered models for accurate fit, consistent quality, and reduced on-site fabrication.
Installation-ready components are shipped in coordinated sequence, helping crews manage material flow, minimize congestion, and maintain construction momentum.
Frame X Systems provides more than steel truss material: we deliver a coordinated framing package designed to work before it reaches the jobsite. Our architect-led team reviews plans, develops engineered models, coordinates systems through BIM, and precision-manufactures components for installation. For Alabama projects, this approach supports cleaner sites, fewer field modifications, and dependable performance through humid summers, heavy rain, and changing construction schedules.

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 roof truss pricing is not reliably quoted as a single per-foot figure because span, roof geometry, loading, steel gauge, connection details, engineering, fabrication, and shipment all affect the package cost. Frame X Systems reviews uploaded plans to develop budget pricing based on the actual framing scope. That review helps project teams compare a coordinated, installation-ready system rather than an incomplete material-only number.
