End Wall Framing B

This drawing outlines the structural framing of the right end wall, referred to as Side B. It includes key details such as column and girt placement, bracing, and openings for doors or windows. Used alongside Side A, this drawing ensures correct orientation and simplifies field installation by clearly showing the unique layout of the opposite end wall.

Cold formed steel end wall B sheeting layout showing panel cuts, lengths, and positions around framed openings.

End Wall B Sheeting Drawing

This drawing illustrates the panel configuration for the right end wall (Side B), showing how each sheet is cut and positioned around any framed openings. It includes panel lengths, overlaps, and start points for proper alignment and symmetry. This layout helps ensure accurate installation, material efficiency, and a clean exterior finish.

Cold formed steel side wall framing layout showing column spacing, girts, and bracing for both long sides of the building.

Side Wall Framing A & B

This drawing provides the structural layout for both side walls of the building—labeled Side A and Side B. It shows column spacing, girt placement, diagonal bracing, and any framed openings. These views help differentiate each wall, maintain orientation, and ensure accurate field installation. It's a critical reference for installers to visualize wall framing and panel support locations on both long sides of the building.

Cold formed steel side wall sheeting layout showing labeled panel lengths and positions for both long sides of the building.

Side Wall A & B Sheeting Drawing

This layout drawing shows the panel configuration for both side walls (A & B) of the building. It details the length, position, and sequence of each wall panel, aligned with the framing beneath. By labeling each sheet and start point, it ensures the installer places panels correctly, allowing for clean lines, accurate overlaps, and minimal waste. It’s essential for achieving a professional, weather-tight finish.

Cold formed steel roof framing layout showing purlin spacing, alignment, and top-down view of roof support system.

Roof Framing & Sheeting Drawing

This drawing outlines the structural layout of the roof system, showing the placement of purlins, bracing, and support spacing between the main frames. It provides a top-down view to guide proper alignment and connection of the roof framing members, ensuring accurate panel installation and even load distribution. It’s a critical reference for erecting a strong, weather-resistant roof structure.
