Well-organized as a reference for Residential Steel Framing,
This review is from: Residential Steel Framing Handbook (Hardcover)
As a Civil Engineer, having to deal with both horizontal and vertical construction, and having to build residential, industrial and commercial buildings, both in Hurricane zones (Dade County, Miami, Florida) and in earth movement areas (Los Angeles Force 4/Richter Scale 9) in California & now in Istanbul, Turkey, this handbook has been particularly usefull when describing Light Gauge Steel Framing to Engineers which are having to cope with the subject for the first time. Would like to know when a new Edition of this Handbook with updated data will be published? Our deep appreciation to Mr. Robert Scharff and the editors of Walls & Ceilings Magazine. Sincerely, Alexandre Byron-Exarcos President & CEO United States Steel Framing Corp.

Good book,
By Christopher D. Williams "Willy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Residential Steel Framing Handbook (Hardcover)
I am familiar with commercial metal framing and drywall. I know nothing about residential metal framing. This book helped answer alot of questions I had. I still have not framed a house in metal but if and when I do, I know this book will have made alot of the techniques and materials easier for me to understand and work with.
