Structural Steel Framing System Value Redesign

Originally designed as a 3-story building, with a fourth floor expansion planned in the future, this modern structure had a price tag of $2.7 million. Partnering with the fabricator/erector to deliver the steel structure of the building, Ruby+Associates applied value engineering principals and completely redesigned the structural steel component of the building. This redesign saved enough money to enable LCC to construct the fourth floor and still bring the project in several hundred thousand dollars under budget.
