All-steel + hybrid
Find the building system that fits your priorities.
Compare the two approaches, then talk with us about how you’ll use the building, the spans and openings you need, the finishes you want, and your budget.
At a glance
Two practical paths.
| Consideration | All-steel | Hybrid |
|---|---|---|
| Framing | Steel primary and secondary framing | Steel primary members with wood secondary framing |
| Best fit | Broad customization and commercial applications | Agricultural, equestrian, and other projects balancing features and cost |
| Flexibility | Wide range of sizes, openings, and finishes | Familiar wood attachment options with steel clear-span structure |
| Foundation | Reinforced concrete foundations keep degradable framing materials out of direct ground contact. | |
