TSN Value Engineering

The Steel Network identifies value engineering opportunities when framing with Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) systems, which have proven to reduce overall costs and accelerate construction schedules while meeting building code requirements.

Typical results of TSN’s Value Engineering services include:

• Lower project costs
• Material cost savings in the wall system
• Reduction of foundation requirements
• Substantially accelerated construction schedules
• Fewer subcontractors on the job
• Satisfied Developers, Contractors, Structural Engineers, and Architects

Example: A 5-story hotel, originally designed with concrete block walls, was brought to TSN for free value engineering to determine the value of utilizing SigmaStud^® on the project. SigmaStud^® lightened the weight of the structure, resulting in the elimination of geo-piers and a switch to typical spread footings, with a savings in excess of $300,000.

Example: A 5-story dormitory, originally designed with cast-in-place concrete wall and floor structure... TSN’s value engineering delivered an overall savings of $750,000, and enabled an accelerated construction schedule.
