MWF client\u2019s\u00a0Construction Services Group<\/a>\u00a0(or CSG)\u00a0located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana produce custom light gauge steel components for many styles of building ranging from single or multifamily units, restaurants and retail facilities<\/h2>\n

Whether the demand is for a full framing solution, structural walls, or partition walls, CSG\u00a0will design\u00a0light gauge steel studs to fit your exact project needs \u2013 cutting each element using a\u00a0Howick<\/a>\u00a0roll former to the specific measurements provided by construction documentation. They also have a hot-rolled steel division to supplement the light gauge steel and to further their services to clients.<\/p>\n

Process:<\/h3>\n

With the ability to produce framing elements in a range of gauges and customised lengths, using\u00a0MWF Advanced Metal<\/a>, CSG is able to export wall, floor, ceiling and truss information directly into a format readable by a Howick CNC machine.<\/p>\n

Richard Tilley, director of development at CSG explains: “StrucSoft\u2019s MWF<\/a> has provided a one-stop shop solution for us. From the start of design all the way through to manufacturing, we can easily frame models and export to our machines”.<\/p>\n

CSG is currently\u00a0using\u00a0two Howick roll forming machines, one for rolling 3 5\/8\u201d and the other for 6\u201d members in a variety of gauges. Steel is then custom cut at their Baton Rouge factory, sheathed on one side, packed and then delivered to the job site for quick assembly.<\/p>\n

By fabricating custom-made steel components to exact measurements (including dimples, swages, cutouts and more),\u00a0CSG can screw together, and erect pre-assembled panels much faster than before when they were assembling individual members. Service holes\u00a0can also be created to allow ease of other trades to run\u00a0wiring\u00a0through the studs.<\/p>\n

Not only that but, CSG are able to produce the same structure built in hot rolled steel in light gauge steel for a fraction of the cost.\u00a0This early adoption of\u00a0LGS rolling has set CSG apart from other builders in their area who are using solely hot rolled steel. In fact, they\u2019re able to design, manufacture and then erect a building in a shorter\u00a0time frame and with a lower cost to the client than traditional builders in the area.<\/p>\n

\u00a0How does MWF help their workflow?<\/h3>\n
