Why Choose FrameUpNow?

Enhanced Durability: Steel Skeletons (frames) offer superior resistance to rot, pests, and fire compared to traditional wood, ensuring a safer and longer-lasting structure.

Accelerated Build Time: Our pre-engineered components significantly cut down on-site assembly time, allowing for quicker project completion.

Environmentally Conscious: Steel is fully recyclable, contributing to waste reduction and promoting sustainable building practices.

Versatile Options: With over 100 plans available, our kits cater to a wide range of needs, whether you're building a garage, home, or workshop.

How It Works

1. Pick Your Home: Choose your skeleton design from our library and select your upgrades if needed.

2. Order and Engineer Your Skeleton Kit: Place your deposit and our architecture/engineering team will have it engineered to your location's requirements. You'll need to get a foundation plan, which can be purchased and engineered through FrameUpNow or your local engineer.

3. Get Your Permit: Take your IBC-stamped plan and foundation plan to your local building department and apply for a building permit.

4. We'll Manufacture Your Skeleton: Once ready, we pre-cut all members and pre-assemble walls and trusses in panels for you. Manufacturing typically takes 1-2 days and then we will schedule your shipment with you.

4. Erect Frame on Site: Follow the included instructions and videos to build your frame quickly using the panels and hardware you've received. You can do this as a DIY with a few friends or hire a contractor. Complete skeletons can typically be fully erected within 2-3 days.

5. Finish Your Build: Use our Materials Shopping List to complete your project with siding, insulation, and more.
