Stud University Provides Steel Framing Training
Participants at this year’s leading steel framing industry forum — the Pacific Rim Framing Conference — will have the opportunity to participate in a hands-on training program on the construction workforce skills and techniques required for framing with cold-formed steel in both residential and commercial applications.
“In North America, over the last decade the use of steel framing in home building has continued to grow, particularly in markets like California, Florida, Louisiana and Hawaii,” said Larry Williams, president of the Steel Framing Alliance.
“There has been a significant amount of interest expressed by builders and home owners who are looking for strong and durable construction solutions,” he said. “This training program is designed to meet that need and provide a trained workforce that can build homes using steel framing.”
Sponsored by the Hawaii Pacific Steel Framing Alliance and the Steel Framing Alliance, the Stud University will focus on the differences between working with steel and with conventional framing materials.
Held on March 14 and 15 at the Hilton Waikiki Prince Kuhio hotel in Honolulu, the course covers a wide range of topics, including design and standardization, tools, fasteners, bearing and non-bearing walls, roof trusses, floor joists, ordering and delivering.
The 16-hour training program covers all the basics of framing with steel and includes six hours of professional development for engineers.
