Let's Build Together.

Light gauge steel framing — cold-formed steel studs, joists, and trusses, precision-manufactured to exact dimensions — has grown from commercial interiors into full structural systems for buildings of every size. Every member arrives straight, true, and ready to assemble.

Why builders are switching

• Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Steel carries more load with less material, enabling longer spans and lighter foundations.
• Straight and true. Factory-formed members don't warp, twist, shrink, or split — walls stay plumb and finishes stay flat.
• Non-combustible. Steel doesn't burn — a decisive advantage for commercial code compliance and insurance.
• Immune to termites and rot. There is no organic material for pests or decay to feed on.
• Sustainable. Steel is 100% recyclable, and framing offcuts go back into the supply chain instead of a dumpster.
• Speed. Panelized walls and trusses arrive ready to assemble — our tiny-house frames go from flat steel to standing structure in days, not weeks.

Commercial applications

Retail shells, restaurants, office partitions, kiosks and food-service booths, and load-bearing mid-rise walls — anywhere fire ratings and dimensional precision matter. Our micro-commercial booths are light gauge steel at their core, which is exactly why they can ride a flatbed between sites.

Residential applications

Custom homes, ADUs, and tiny houses benefit from the same precision. Longer clear spans mean more open floor plans, and the frame you engineer is the frame you get — no surprises from a lumberyard's idea of "straight."

Practical notes

Steel conducts heat, so thermal bridging must be addressed with continuous exterior insulation — our MgO sheathing forms part of that assembly. Connections are engineered, with screws and welds per the structural drawings, and crews should be experienced with steel. Done right, the result is a frame that outlives the mortgage.

The bottom line: pair a light gauge steel frame with Makhi MgO board sheathing and you get a complete non-combustible envelope — light, strong, and built for decades.

Magnesium oxide (MgO) board is a mineral-based panel — think of it as sheathing with the fire performance of masonry and the workability of a panel. It cuts and fastens with standard tools, then performs like something far heavier.

Key properties

• Non-combustible. MgO panels don't burn, making them a natural fit for fire-rated assemblies.
• Moisture and mold resistant. The mineral composition doesn't feed mold and stands up to wet areas.
• Lightweight yet tough. High impact resistance at a fraction of the weight of cement boards.
• Dimensionally stable. Minimal expansion and contraction through temperature and humidity swings.

Where to use it

• Exterior sheathing behind any cladding system
• Interior walls and ceilings, including kitchens, baths, and laundry rooms
• Soffits, eaves, and other weather-exposed trim areas
• Tile backer and flooring underlayment
• Modular structures, tiny houses, and ADUs
• Food-service booths, kiosks, and micro-commercial builds

Proof in the field

Our tiny commercial booths are the demonstration: they ride on flatbeds between sites, take weather without complaint, and stay light enough to move with modest equipment — the exact attributes MgO boards are rated for. The same panel system scales from a hundred-square-foot booth to full homes and commercial shells.

The system: steel frame for strength, MgO skin for protection — a complete non-combustible building envelope.
