How do I achieve the low floor to floor heights I need while using steel?
Several options are available. Staggered trusses, Flex-Frame, joists and composite joists. Depending on the application, one of these options may be more economical than the other. Many hotels, apartment buildings and dormitories are limited in their floor to floor heights and believe they will be forced into flat plate concrete construction. Most engineers are familiar with all but the Flex-Frame system and can evaluate their applicability. Flex-Frame combines the best aspects of concrete plank construction with structural steel. We believe Flex-Frame is an excellent solution, which may help save you time and money. Don't forget you can always contact us for more information on any of these systems.
