Structural steel framing is a durable, reliable, cost-effective, sustainable option for low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise building projects and typically refers to building frame systems where the vertical and horizontal structural elements are formed by a system of structural steel beams and columns.

Column spacing is typically 25 to 45 feet on center, with spacing variations lower and higher depending on architectural requirements. The range of available shapes and sizes allows virtually any architectural requirement to be met.

Structural steel framing is typically designed, fabricated and erected in accordance with standards developed. It is also adaptable to almost any architectural layout and is used routinely on a variety of building projects. Structural steel is the most popular framing material for non-residential buildings in the United States, with over half of the constructed square footage framed in structural steel on an annual basis.
