What are the size limitations?
The only restriction is the physical size or handling or shipping. Generally this is 40 ft (12 meters) but in some cases we can supply even up to 48 ft in length.
What is the cost of shipping?
This depends on a number of factors. Generally it is less expensive to ship items that are lighter in weight and do not require heavy equipment for loading or unloading. Especially when compared to steel beams. However distance to the jobsite is also a big consideration when estimating a project.
We have designed our system to resemble conventional construction as with 2x4 and 2x6 walls. We are replacing nails with screw fasteners that are just as easy to work with and much easier to take apart should you make a mistake.
Detailed instructions must be followed however and will be provided in our manual at time of placing an order.
