CFS Field Observation and Remediation

Cold-formed steel framed buildings often have thousands of components and connections. So how do you efficiently review CFS framing with the desire of meeting the structural requirements, when so many trades and processes can create conditions not evident on the design drawings? This course provides an overview of how to properly review load bearing and non-load-bearing, cold-formed steel framing systems for both shop fabricated and field fabricated assemblies, in an efficient and effective manner. Course topics include: What to look for in field observations of load-bearing construction, common problems encountered in the field, the differences in shop and field fabricated assemblies, interaction between CFS framing and other materials, reducing errors through training and intentional communication, proper response to potential problem areas, and remediation examples.
