The Steel Frame Behind Buildings That Last

THE WOOD PROBLEM

20 years on the jobsite taught us one thing

The Frame Changes Everything

After two decades engineering multifamily and commercial projects across the Northeast, we watched wood-framed buildings above 5 stories consistently deliver the same result: cost overruns, schedule delays, and long-term durability problems. The frame is where these problems start. So we built AAC Steel to solve them at the source.

THE ANSWER

Cold-Formed steel solves the frame problem

AAC Steel manufactures and delivers complete cold-formed steel framing kits for multifamily and commercial projects of 5+ stories. Every kit is engineered to your plans, pre-fabricated to ±1/16" tolerance, and sequenced for installation.

WHY CFS

Why Cold-Formed Steel

Cold-formed steel is non-combustible, maintenance-free, and engineered to perform for 50+ years without structural compromise. It's the only material that gives you durability, precision, and cost control all at once.

Cost Effective

Eliminates $730K per floor in podium costs, plus 51 weeks of labor. $3.75M total on a 50,000 sqft building.

Faster Build Time

Prefabricated components reduce on-site construction by up to 20%, cutting timeline and labor costs.

All-Condition Durability

Non-combustible, maintenance-free, and structurally sound for 50+ years, with significantly lower insurance premiums.

Atomic Precision

Every frame engineered with HOWICK machinery and advanced CAD, with load-bearing calculations verified before shipment.
