The 50% Manufacturing Down Payment is due prior to the manufacturing start date. Your local contractor can begin site preparation and foundation work at this time. Ecosteel 3d framing model is inputted into a material list on a factory computer. The factory computer then runs the machinery that fabricates the steel in an assembly line style. All parts and pieces are labeled and numbered during this fabrication in the factory. All insulated roof and wall panels are pre-finished with standard or custom colors in the factory prior to install. Typical lead time is 6 – 8 weeks to have material on site ready for assembly. 

All parts and pieces flat packed for economical transportation to your property. All parts and pieces will need to be inventoried by your build team. At this time, your contractor will have your foundation completed so that your erector can start steel assembly after a full inventory has been made.

Delivered by EcoSteel & built by our hand selected erector partners.  Our experienced partner contractors are driven to build efficiently. All steel material parts are pre-cut, pre-drilled, and bolted for rapid assembly that any certified steel erector can assemble with ease. Unlike wood structures (and wood is a traditional construction material), steel structures do not take months to build. Since EcoSteel parts are prefabricated and pre-engineered, the process of erecting your adu model is completed in weeks not months. 

Once your EcoSteel system is installed, your other subcontractors will have a safe and ready shell to finish your building. Leave  your steel completely exposed for a minimalist look or partially finish it with drywall for a more traditional warm interior feeling. Either way, your use will be safer using our steel system.

Now that your building has been completed, it’s time to celebrate. You now have a high-performance building that is fire, mold, and termite resistant building shell. Today’s building projects require the perfect combination of energy efficiency, durability, and speed to deliver. Your energy costs will be cut significantly and your building maintenance should be minimal.
