Green Framing Systems
Contact: Mike RoddyNotes
I am writing this in order to deliver a speech on alternatives to wood framing. It’s dangerous in fire prone areas, as in Paradise, Magalia,
and Greenville. We specialize in light gauge steel framing. I have built over 600 houses and apartments this way; LGS is in the Uniform Building Codes.
Cost for steel framing adds about 3% to hard costs for a house compared to wood, but we price match with volume. I can provide details and photos if granted an audience in Paradise. I struggled with the Paradise Town Council a few years ago, who declined to give me an audience. Please reconsider. My presentation will be professional: I’ve done this to NAHB Board, AIA meetings, and to builders in 5 countries, as well as being lead author for Metal Home Digest. We can make Paradise much safer, and would save both forests and lives. I look forward to your response.
