Florida Steel Frame & Truss Manufacturing

What Florida Steel Frame & Truss Manufacturing does

Florida Steel Frame & Truss Manufacturing (FSFTM) is a Tampa, Florida-based, privately held cold-formed steel (CFS) framing fabricator serving residential, commercial, and industrial construction customers across the contiguous United States. Founded in 2016, the company engineers, designs, fabricates, and ships light-gauge steel framing systems from a single in-house manufacturing facility at 10329 Cross Creek Blvd, Tampa. Its product portfolio spans drywall and structural metal studs in gauges from 25 to 10, deep-leg structural track, Z-furring, hat channel, flat strapping, resilient channels, slotted deflection track, and cold-formed steel trusses for floor and roof support. FSFTM is differentiated from typical truss-and-stud shops by holding Miami-Dade County product certification and by offering hurricane-resistant engineering for severe wind and coastal exposure, an important compliance position in Florida and the Gulf Coast.

The company's commercial model is organized around four configurable delivery systems — Panelized (prefabricated wall panels), Flat Pack (paneled and labeled components for on-site assembly), Pre-Cut (precision-cut members with shop diagrams), and Value Engineering (full Engineer-of-Record structural design with sealed drawings) — letting customers select a labor-versus-fabrication trade-off matched to their site conditions. Internally, FSFTM combines engineering, fabrication, and logistics in a single owner-operated operation; externally it sells B2B direct to contractors, builders, developers, and general contractors via its website, email, phone, and social channels, with no distributor or retail intermediary. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven, supported by material take-offs, panel shop drawings, and connection details; the payment structure — 10% engineering deposit, 60% fabrication deposit, and final payment before shipping — provides cash-flow visibility but makes revenue dependent on project pipeline rather than recurring contracts. State of operation is active, with 7+ years of experience, 150+ completed projects, and 5M+ lbs of steel supplied cited as scale markers; named enterprise customers include Gil Hyatt Construction and CFA Deerfield Beach.

Revenue model

1. Custom Steel Fabrication Projects: Project-based custom fabrication of cold-formed steel framing systems. Revenue generated through engineering deposits (10% of project cost) and fabrication deposits (60% of project cost). Final payment required before shipping. Products are custom engineered per project specifications and cannot be cancelled once fabrication begins.
2. Engineering Services: Structural engineering services including plan review, value engineering, structural analysis, and preparation of structural drawings (SD). Provided as part of project packages or independently through value engineering delivery system where FSFTM serves as Engineer of Record.
3. Material Supply & Delivery: Supply and coordinated delivery of steel framing materials, trusses, and structural building materials to job sites nationwide. Coordinated logistics ensuring materials arrive on-time, damage-free, and ready for installation.

Products and services

• Panelized Steel Wall Panel System Prefabricated steel wall panels manufactured in FSFTM's facility and delivered ready for installation. Includes material take-offs with estimated pricing, shipping costs per panel, panel shop drawings, and connection details. Intended for builders, contractors, and developers seeking reduced on-site labor and installation time.
• Flat Pack Steel Framing System Steel framing components packaged by panel and labeled for organized on-site assembly. Includes material take-offs, shipping estimates, panel shop drawings, and connection details to guide the assembly process. Intended for builders wanting component-level delivery rather than full panelization.
• Pre-Cut Steel Framing System Steel members precision cut to required sizes and delivered to the project site for assembly using shop diagrams. Includes material take-offs, shipping estimates, and shop drawings to support installation. Suited to builders with their own framing crews who want pre-engineered cut pieces.
• Value Engineering Services Full structural engineering service in which FSFTM acts as Engineer of Record. Includes structural analysis, preparation of structural drawings (SD), building design optimization to reduce material usage and weight, and fabrication support. Provided to builders and developers as part of project packages.
• Drywall Metal Studs (25 gauge to 20 gauge) Steel studs ranging from 25 to 20 gauge for non-load-bearing partition walls and drop ceilings in residential and commercial construction. Offers dimensional stability, fire resistance, and resistance to warping, shrinking, twisting, and termite damage.
• Structural Studs (18 to 14 gauge) Load-bearing cold-formed steel studs from 18 to 14 gauge for structural framing in residential, commercial, and industrial construction. Manufactured via roll-forming for accuracy and consistency.
• Ultra Heavy Gauge Studs (12 & 10 gauge) Heavy steel studs in 12 and 10 gauge manufactured using a roll-forming process for cold-formed steel construction. Designed for high-load applications including joists and lower load-bearing walls of multi-story buildings.
• Cold-Formed Steel Trusses Engineered cold-formed steel trusses for floor and roof support systems in residential, commercial, and industrial construction. Custom-fabricated per project specifications.
• Deep Leg Structural Track Cold-formed steel U-shaped channel with a deeper flange (2.5 inch or deeper) used in wall framing systems as top and bottom track. Provides stronger grip, better load distribution, and accommodates building movement caused by wind, floor deflection, or seismic activity.
• Structural Engineering Services Complete structural engineering services including plan review, structural calculations, value engineering, and stamped drawings for permit approval. Provided to builders, contractors, and developers requiring permit-ready engineering packages.
• Delivery and Logistics Services Nationwide delivery coordination including on-time scheduling, safe transportation, job-site ready packaging, and real-time communication on dispatch and arrival times. Available to all steel framing project customers across the contiguous United States.
