In the ever-evolving Canadian construction industry, builders and developers are seeking innovative ways to build faster, safer, and more sustainably. One solution gaining traction is light steel framing (LSF) – a method that replaces traditional wood studs with cold-formed steel components. The benefits of light steel framing are transforming how projects are delivered, offering answers […]

In the Canadian construction industry, the choice of framing material has a huge impact on project success. For decades, wood framing has been the go-to for homes and low-rise buildings. However, modern construction demands – faster timelines, higher precision, stricter fire safety codes – are pushing builders and developers to reevaluate the old steel vs

Light steel frame (LSF) construction – also known as cold-formed steel framing – is rapidly transforming homebuilding, especially for Canadian builders and developers. In a field long dominated by traditional wood studs, light steel framing in Canada is emerging as a faster, more precise, and durable alternative. This blog post explores what LSF construction is,
