Get heavy with metal framing construction

Image of Metal framing with metal stud construction

More strength and potential for lower costs let metal framing shine

Metal framing is a fast-growing alternative to traditional wood framing. Your contractor must know the differences and characteristics of both of these construction techniques. Inexperienced installers can lead to long-lasting problems with your project.

Also known as cold-form steel framing, interior metal framing was developed for use in areas with high-wind and seismic dangers. The steel connections have extra holding power for these type of applications.

Metal framing’s fireproof characteristics, resistance to insects, and stability have resulted in increasing popularity in commercial and even home construction. Its zinc covering also makes it corrosion resistant.

It is a green material as well. On average up to 25% of the raw material is recycled, and 100% of it is recyclable. Up to 40% of commercial buildings have metal framing.

Let’s take a deeper look at this versatile material and the right way to use it in commercial construction.

What is metal framing exactly?

Metal framing is sheet steel fabricated to sizes matching those of wood construction materials. Shaped by sending it through a series of rollers to “bend” it into the final shape of it posts and channels, its dimensions include 2×4, 2×6, 2×8, etc.. Since the shaping takes place without heat the material ends up being stronger than the original sheet steel.  [Read more…]

An Innovative Canopy Roof System for Old Town Theme Park

Canopy roof system at Old Town Theme Park

A unique solution to a pressing problem

As part of an ongoing capital improvement project at Old Town Theme Park, we recently faced a singular situation with the renovation of storefront canopies.

The existing ones were flat and prone to leakage. Yet, we had to maintain the current footprint of the existing canopies. This post will look at how we solved the dilemma with an innovation canopy roof system.

Project Scope

Want to sell your house for more? Invest in a home renovation!

When it’s time to sell your home, it’s time to renovate

Your home is most likely your largest financial asset. Making the right decisions when renovating or adding an addition is critical. It is especially true when you want to increase a house’s value before selling it. You want to bring in twice what you spend. So, doing the home renovation right is a must.

There are many renovations you could make. But which ones will help you get the best selling price?

Kick up the kitchen

Kitchens and bathrooms are what sell houses.

Your kitchen must meet the functional needs of today’s consumption patterns. New appliances are nice but if your kitchen’s workflow if off, they won’t help. The dishwasher has to be next to the sink. You need cabinets near your stove and range. Having cabinets above the dishwasher and drawers beside it make unloading it easier.

These are the types of things a professional can make sure you don’t miss.

And don’t forget to maximize your storage space. You can never have too much of it.

Beautify the bathrooms

We’ll repeat. Kitchens and bathrooms sell houses.

Keep the colors neutral. The buyer can add their personality with accessories, curtains, towels, and art. Again, maximize your storage space.

Think about your neighborhood and market. If you are in an area with a high senior population, you need a design that is different from one in a downtown condo.  [Read more…]

Empire Construction & Development Corp.

I have had the pleasure to know David Seip for over ten years. Initially, we worked as colleagues at the same company.   As we progressed in our own respected aspects as contractors we worked as separate entities together on the same projects. Empire Construction has hired CAM Contracting for several projects and we feel that CAM Contracting is a stellar organization priding themselves on not only speed but accuracy in completing a project. I have met and worked with many types of businessmen over the years from developers and investors to sub-contractors. I have found many to be less in substance than they profess to be in words. David Seip is an honest, upstanding businessman and an excellent General Contractor. It is our belief that CAM Contracting would be a wise choice if you want your project to be completed on time and within your budgetary restrictions. Feel free to contact me personally if you have further questions. Sincerely,

If you are looking for a reliable and honest contractor, look no further than CAM Contracting, LLC! Dave Seip, the owner, uses the highest quality of professionalism, materials, and sub-contractors to insure a superb job without the inflated cost. We had CAM Contracting install wood flooring throughout our house, including our staircase. Due to poor construction from the original builder, each stair was a different width and depth. Although the job was very tedious, Dave and his sub-contractor, also named Dave, took the time to measure each stair and the results are not only amazing but beautiful as well. I highly recommend CAM Contracting! Sincerely,

Thank you so much for taking care of all the things that needed fixing at our house. Replacing the ballast in the kitchen lights, replacing a leaky valve, replacing part of the flooring, installing flood lights, de-gunking and painting the patio floor...whew, so much needed to be done. You did an efficient, clean, and excellent job! We will definitely use your services again and recommend CAM Contracting to others!
