More than two years of working in Guyana have culminated in a moment that will remain special to us for a long time. U.S. and Guyanese officials joined us for the ribbon cutting of our manufacturing facility in Guyana.

At US Frame Factory and Frames and Supplies (Guyana), we have spent the last two years in Guyana working to understand the needs of the Guyanese people. As we have said since we entered the country, this is a unique moment in Guyana’s development, and that is why we are here to participate and partner in its growth. The right approach is to build long-term relationships, wealth, and prosperity.

The country has spent the last five years putting in critical infrastructure: gas-to-energy, hotels, roads, and other civil projects. Now it is time for the people to receive the housing they need. Housing is essential to development. It represents shelter, security, stability, and opportunity.

With support and collaboration from the Guyanese and U.S. governments, we will create an environment that promotes local contractor growth and speeds up the build cycle for all construction projects. We are confident we have the team to build 10,000 homes and more, and we look forward to the opportunity to do so.

We thank U.S. Ambassador Nicole Theriot; the Honourable Collin Croal, Minister of Housing and Water; and Dr. Martin Pertab, CEO of the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA), for coming out to support us.

Throwback to the apartment complex that we supplied framing for in Hawaii. The framer was new to cold-formed steel, and he loved working with our team. We provide a lot of support for framers who are learning how to do cold-formed steel. Here are some tips for getting started:

1. Estimating matters - make sure you know how to estimate complex material projects
2. Organization matters - the order you receiver you material will impact your efficiency on the jobsite
3. Fasteners matter - cold-formed steel projects call for a number of different screws and fasteners for various applications. Make sure you pay careful attention to the screw counts and types in the drawing

Curious how to convert a wood framed multistory building to light gauge steel? The conversion is pretty easy, but there are some tips and tricks that could really save you money during the conversion process:

1. Use a structural engineer with specific cold-formed steel experience
2. Metal studs and wood are very similar, but not created equal. Stick frame wood construction frequently uses a double top plate that makes it significantly different than steel.
3. Stud spacing can make a big impact on cost and efficiency when moving to metal studs.

Has anyone else had construction material shipping prices skyrocket for them? Here are 3 Strategies for dealing with high shipping costs on your raw materials:

1. Source locally - Try to find local vendors who are willing to match the prices from some of your larger long range vendors.
2. Maximize shipping loads - Stretch each diesel dollar to carry as much weight as possible and as little air freight. This mean instead of modular you may have to build panelized and instead of panelized you may have to stick frame.
3. Reduce downstream shipping requirements - Sometimes the price of your raw materials are increasing simply because of the logistics it takes to move precursor raw materials around.

For a company based out of Louisiana our jobsites sure see a lot of snow! ⛄❄️

Prefab panels are a great option for snowy climates because the work can be done in a controlled warmer environment. It's very difficult to stick frame in a cold environment.

Steel prices keep climbing. Galvanized coil is up 54% over the last 12 months per the CRU, and getting it to your jobsite costs more too. Diesel is up 46% this year and hit a record $6.53 a gallon on Sept. 22, per AAA.

A lot of this comes back to oil prices and tariffs. It's not because the market is booming. Private construction outside data centers is down about $120 billion a year since the end of 2023. Data centers are up $51 billion and are basically the only thing growing right now.

If you've got CFS work coming up next year, don't wait to lock in pricing. Give us a call and we'll help you get ahead of it.

Cold-formed steel is simple. It just takes 3 things:
1. Good engineering
2. The right installers
3. Your material to show up

Here are 8 major takeaways for designing a prefab and roll forming plant for speed, safety, and efficiency. Over the last 2 years we designed and built from scratch a 42,000 sqft roll forming and prefabrication plant that can process more than 2000 tons per month of finished goods. 🏭️

1. Material movement is waste. Movement is one of the 8 wastes of lean for a reason. It doesn't add value to the product. Try to reduce the distance between manufacturing steps. For us that was reducing the distance between coil->roll forming->prefab. 🏃

2. Have the correct fixtures for moving raw and finished goods at every stage. Sometimes you need forklifts, carts, or cranes. 🏗️

3. Separate equipment movement from human movement. This greatly reduces your risk of a bad accident.🚨

4. Doors matter. Where you put your doors will define how your material can enter or exit the building. We split our building into 3rds with doors in each third.🚪

5. Put your ops people close to the operations. Machines get fixed fasters. People can communicate and resolve issues that would delay production faster. Don't make your people go on an easter egg hunt to solve problems.⚙️

6. Keep your people hydrated. Put water stations close to the workers. 💦

7. Power matters. Make sure you have enough power for all the equipment you are running and a good distribution strategy. For us that meant drops from the ceiling. ⚡️

8. We anticipated big panels, trusses, and long studs, so we have an open span of 125 ft. This also gives us huge flexibility for moving equipment in and out of the space. Close column spacing can kill productivity in a plant. 🛠️

Scottsdale and Knudson roll formers don't come with stock lighting like this when we first bought them. Since they have a safety cage that casts a shadow and because you frequently need to get into the machine for changeovers, it's helpful to have bright LEDs to see what you are working on especially if you have to work late at night.
