Project Profile: Hudson's Site - Detroit, MI Woodward Avenue’s 1200 block in Detroit, MI lays the redeveloped Hudson's Site. Helix® Micro Rebar™ was chosen as part of the construction process to reinforce (2) concrete decks, reducing the need for traditional rebar, using a Helix Dosage of: 9 lbs/yd3. The Helix Advantage: ⬆️ 147% Shear Strength ⬆️ 23% Durability & Toughness ⬆️ 28% Modulus of Rupture ⬇️ 47,000 lbs of Steel This redevelopment will stand as a testament to modern engineering and sustainable innovation, offering unparalleled amenities and spaces for businesses, residents, and visitors. #HelixSteel was critical in achieving #ConstructionEfficiency, ensuring the #durability needed for this iconic addition to the Detroit skyline.

How to manage challenging terrains When it comes to building on tricky sites—like steep hills or scenic beach spots—efficiency and precision are everything. Here's how we did it for our project at 1506 Wye River, Victoria: Nestled along the breathtaking Great Ocean Road, this project was built on a sloping hill overlooking the ocean—a dream location, but one that demands the right structural solutions. We used our light gauge steel frames, including a robust subfloor system, to deliver: ✅ Strength and Stability: Designed to handle uneven and challenging terrain effortlessly. ✅ Faster Installation: Our frames are precision-engineered for quicker assembly, keeping timelines on track. ✅ Weather Resistance: Perfect for coastal builds, where durability is key. At M Modular, we understand the unique demands of building in Australia’s most stunning (and challenging) locations. Whether it's a beachside haven or a mountain retreat, our light gauge steel frames provide the reliability and efficiency you need to scale your projects seamlessly. Ready to simplify your builds on complex sites? Let’s chat and explore how our frames can support your next big project. Drop us a message! #construction #builders #mmodular

Hey Tina, What’s love got to do with this? Absolutely everything, if you’re talking about modular construction with cold-formed steel. Let me explain. Picture this: You're a regular person, just trying to build a house without losing your mind. Traditional construction methods have you in tears by the end of the first week, and that’s before you’ve even picked out the right shade of “Eggshell White” for your bathroom. Enter modular construction with cold-formed steel. It's like finding true love in the world of building materials. First off, cold-formed steel is strong. It’s like the superhero of building materials. If Captain America were a construction material, he'd be cold-formed steel. This stuff can withstand all sorts of calamities: hurricanes, earthquakes, and even a toddler's relentless quest to color on every wall. Plus, it doesn’t warp, rot, or become a tasty snack for termites. If it were a person, it’d be the kind who shows up early to help you move and never complains. Now, let’s talk modular. In the construction world, modular means you get to assemble your building like it’s a giant LEGO set. You know you’ve always wanted to live in a LEGO house. Modular construction takes the chaos of a traditional building site and replaces it with the satisfying click of pieces snapping perfectly into place. It’s like Marie Kondo visited your construction site and tidied it up. But here’s the real kicker: modular construction with cold-formed steel is fast. Traditional construction is like watching paint dry—literally. Modular construction? It’s like paint that dries itself while you drink your coffee. Wait, all paint does that. Whatever, your building goes up so quickly, you’ll think someone hit fast-forward on reality. It’s like magic, but with fewer rabbits and more structural integrity. So, what’s love got to do with it? Everything. Because once you experience the strength, efficiency, and sheer joy of modular construction with cold-formed steel, you’ll never look back. Your relationship with traditional construction methods will be over faster than you can say “building permit.” #ConstructionLoveStory #ModularMagic #ColdFormedSteel #BuildItBetter #Modular #CFS #ADU #ModularHousing #OffsiteConstruction

Building Smarter with Cold-Formed Steel Structures In the latest Building Tips article, Matt Ackley, President of Cornerstone Building Brands’ Shelter Solutions, shares insights on why Cold-Formed Buildings (CFBs) are a game-changer for construction crews: - Durability: Designed to withstand heavy loads, extreme weather, and pests. - Efficiency: Lightweight components speed up assembly and reduce foundation costs. - Ease of Use: A 50’ x 100’ Hypersteel™️ CFB was erected by a two-person crew due to its straightforward design. - Flexibility: Supports a variety of cladding options like metal panels, stone veneer, and glass. Learn what construction crews need to know about CFBs and how they deliver strength, speed, and cost savings. 📖 Read the full article at https://bit.ly/4grqWDT #ColdFormedSteel #MetalBuildings #BuildingTips #Hypersteel

🏗️ New Butler® Building Under Construction! Marmon-Herrington will soon have a 6,200 sq. ft. addition to its current 32,000 sq. ft. building. The Butler addition will provide five truck mechanic bays for retrofitting military vehicles to all-wheel terrain trucks. This new garage will feature two 5-ton bridge cranes spanning across all five bays. The garage will be heated and lighted, with plenty of ventilation. The roof will be a Butler MR-24® standing machine seamed roof system with R-30 insulation. The walls will be 2.5″ Thermo wall insulated metal panels. We'll also add some specific exterior architectural features to meet the Eastpoint Business Center Park requirements. The project is designed and built by Lichtefeld, Inc. partnered with Trapani Architects and LJB Engineers. #ButlerBuilder #NewConstruction #Addition
