The trusses will be delivered in packages, grouped in order of location on the roof. Each truss has a yellow label on the bottom that matches the truss label on your truss plan. Depending on the size of your structure, you may be able to manually raise the trusses.
If they are too heavy, use proper material lifting equipment to raise the first truss to the top of wall. Mark the location of the trusses on top of the walls, per you truss layout plan.
Your FrameUpNow cold-formed steel kit home will be prefabricated in a plant and delivered to your site for assembly. It will arrive with all major frame components, and all necessary hardware. To begin your build, you will also need a few tools and supplies.
In this video, we will cover the items you need to have, preferably before the delivery of your wall panels. If you don’t already have some of these items, you can purchase or rent them at most home improvement retailers like Home Depot or Lowes or at a rental supply store.
The panels and trusses are stacked on our trailers in order of installation. We’ll bring our own forklift and place all components in your designated area without changing the stacking order. You are now ready to start assembly of your home!
The assembly process is easy. For the installation of wall panels you will need a few people, but you could invite friends and family to help, and have a good old- fashioned house-raising, which would make this process faster, more fun and memorable.
To keep the panels square to each other, square to the floor, and to prevent the walls from racking, intermittent panels have been delivered with X braces installed.
The straps form an X brace, 2 for each selected panel. They are attached at the opposite lower and upper corner of the panel with self-tapping screws, two per side.

First, we recommend engaging professionals to prepare your site for the foundation of your FrameUpNow Home. For site prep and slab you’ll generally need two different contractors. Do your research and choose them carefully, because mistakes can be costly and have far-reaching and long-term consequences.
Site preparation is always the first phase of any major construction. This process involves clearing the land of trees and debris, leveling the ground for building, and moving materials to and from the site.
Using architectural blueprints as a guide, your contractors will stake out the parcel of land and the building site… The staking process helps ensure the home will not encroach on others’ property and aids ideal placement to match your site plan.
