Welcome to the 2002/2003 edition of the Hawaii Pacific Steel Framing Resource Directory. This year's directory marks the fifth anniversary of the Hawaii Pacific Steel Framing Alliance, Inc. (HSA), formerly known as the Hawaii Steel Alliance. During these past five years, our Alliance has made great strides in fulfilling its purpose of stimulating the use of steel framing as an enduring building medium. Recent surveys have found that 65 percent of all new residential construction projects in Hawaii use steel framing. In fact, Hawaii remains the leading state in the nation to utilize steel-framed housing. Moreover, since 1997, the HSA has stayed on track to achieve its goal of becoming the preeminent worldwide steel framing resource for designers, managers, estimators, suppliers and contractors. To do this, we have stood by a set of core values. These values include: providing an environment that encourages teamwork and camaraderie; facilitating opportunities to share ideas; providing quality shelter through excellence in design, building and materials; being the international leader in cold-formed steel framing technology; and operating with the utmost integrity and ethical values. In addition, we all can be proud that in our five short years of existence, the HSA has established important elements such as building codes and standards and prescriptive building methods, tools and software to enable the homebuilding market for steel. Now that the stage is set, it is our continual goal to engage everyone involved in, or affected by, the building industry. To do this, it is every HSA member's duty to help spread the word about the Alliance and the benefits involved in joining us. Benefits include increasing business opportunities, use of the steel framing brandmark, networking events and access to research and development, up-to-date information and other critical resources. In addition, by belonging to HSA, you will have increased recognition and can participate in the Alliance's future direction, training initiatives and more. With expanded construction member categories available at very affordable rates, people from all spectrums of the building industry can join. Among us there are builders, tool and fastener manufacturers, building suppliers, contractors, developers, design professionals and consultants. As the fifth president of this Alliance, I look forward to working hand-in-hand with each member, committee chair and board of director. With all of our hard work and determination, I am confident that we will continue to accomplish great things. And, of course, if you are a member of the housing industry, we invite you to become a member of the HSA so that you can benefit from all that we offer and we can benefit from your input and knowledge.

Sincerely,

Doug Pearson President

Aloha! Congratulations to the Hawaii Pacific Steel Framing Alliance (HSA) for publishing yet another edition of the "Hawaii Pacific Steel Framing Alliance Resource Directory". This publication is an excellent example to others across the globe on how members come together, and through this guidebook, direct people to companies that are 'akamai' in steel framing. Hats off to you on another job well done! As your former executive director, my heart goes out to all members of the HSA, especially those that serve on committees, including volunteers, chairpersons, board members and officers. Your hard work and dedication are an inspiration to us in Washington, D.C. and everywhere, as we strive to grow the steel framing market worldwide. It is through your tireless volunteer efforts and networking events that markets in Hawaii and the entire Pacific Rim continue to grow and flourish. Let's take a moment to consider just what has occurred for light gauge steel framing in Hawaii alone since the HSA was formed. Growing market share from 25 percent in 1997 to well over 60 percent in 2001 is a major accomplishment. Steel framing is now the material of choice in Hawaii; as HSA members, you can all savor this success. Your hard work and passion for steel construction has truly inspired me; it was my pleasure to serve you for four years. Today, I serve you in another capacity. While I may be 4,519 miles away here in Washington, D.C., I am still working to grow the market for all Steel Framing Alliance members. One of my first duties here was to expand membership opportunities for local alliance members, including HSA, in the national Alliance. Second, I asked our Board of Directors to initiate an Operating Team with whom we will work closely to help shape the future of our Alliance. Two former HSA Board Members, Bud Waters, Hunt Building Corporation, and Brad Wagner, John Wagner & Associates, have agreed to serve as candidates on this critical team. Third, all national Alliance benefits have been extended to local Alliance members, building unity across markets and accelerating the pace of knowledge transfer between construction communities. Alliance membership brings you exclusive benefits that you cannot find elsewhere. Members tap into the latest information on steel framing technology, including reports on R&D projects (13 underway right now). Using the Alliance's new brandmark, members can differentiate themselves in their marketplace; as more consumers seek reputable builders and framers who are skilled in steel, they will look for those who are branded an Alliance member. Additionally, Alliance members receive a discount of up to 50 percent off resources including books, technical and how-to publications, promotion collateral, videos, market reports, and much more. The Alliance carries the most accurate and up-to-date information available. For example, cost studies, market overviews, ANSI-approved standards like the new Prescriptive Method being released by the AISI Committee on Framing Standards, and standard details for cost-effective steel construction are all in the Alliance portfolio of resources. Together, we are building momentum for steel across the globe. Having recently moved our headquarters to the National Housing Center in Washington, D.C., home of the National Association of Home Builders (of which the BIA of Hawaii is an affiliate), we move our focus into the world of construction. As a community, we gain consensus and a broader sense of what it means to build a better building — using steel. Mahalo for your support!

The ALLIANCE in the Pacific Rim T

he Hawaii Pacific Steel Framing Alliance (HSA) is a 501(c) (6) nonprofit organization that encourages and promotes the widespread, practical and economic use of light gauge steel framing for residential and light commercial construction in the Pacific Rim. When the HSA was organized in 1997 with the name "Hawaii Steel Alliance," few individuals believed in the huge benefits of steel framing and metal roofing for Hawaii homeowners. "We wanted to send a clear message to the community about what our alliance is all about," said Wayne Lincoln, founding president of HSA. To help, the HSA conducts training programs so wood carpenters learn more about steel framing; new technical resources for design professionals, contractors and framers; and new field training and product testing programs. On April 7, 2001, HSA formally changed its name to Hawaii Pacific Steel Framing Alliance - a move in response to the Alliance's mission to expand efforts to Asian-Pacific countries. "Our alliance is rapidly growing," says Bob Lazo, 2000/2001 HSA president, "We are expanding into Asia and around the Pacific Rim." Art Linn, HSA immediate past president noted, "Several U.S. companies use Hawaii projects as working laboratories, testing out new steel products. The HSA seeks to provide quality shelter through excellence in design, building, and materials, and to provide homeowners with reliable assistance and consumer information.” Seeing steel framing as an enduring building medium for the world's housing needs, the HSA strives to be the preeminent worldwide steel framing resource for designers, managers, estimators, suppliers, and contractors in the State of Hawaii and throughout the Pacific Rim. At present, Hawaii has the highest percentage of steel-framed homes being constructed anywhere in the world. In 2001 cold-formed steel framing accounted for about 62 percent of all new housing ventures in the state.

2002/2003 Officers and Board of Directors The HSA is governed by 11 directors elected by the alliance membership to serve two year terms. From the directors, officers are elected to serve the alliance for one-year terms. The 2002/2003 HSA officers and directors are: President Doug Pearson, Castle & Cooke Homes Hawaii, Inc.

LOYALTY. SO SIMPLE A WORD, SO POWERFUL A COMMITMENT.

Dynamic HSA Membership Founding President Wayne Lincoln noted in the 1998 HSA Resource Directory, "The growth of this organization exemplifies the strength of the Alliance." Over the past five fruitful years, the HSA has had a successful membership retention rate. Our members have experienced market growth as they continue to benefit from the networking and educational programs we provide. Information fundamental to the growth of HSA members and the industry has also been compiled at the HSA Office. In 2002, HSA, together with the Steel Framing Alliance, adopted a new membership structure to engage more involvement from the building industry. While providing more benefits to members, this plan aims to greatly expand the Alliance knowledge base and facilitate a more inclusive approach to bringing the residential steel framing products and services to the marketplace. The HSA membership also meets monthly at dinner meetings to network and learn the latest information on light gauge steel framing. See the 2002/2003 Calendar of Activities on page 12.

Steel Framing: Competing for the Future in the Pacific Rim By Mardie C. Torres, HSA Executive Director

ince we started the Hawaii Pacific Steel Framing Alliance in 1997 (then, Hawaii Steel Alliance), steel framing has had a profound impact not only on many companies and individuals in Hawaii but also in other Pacific Rim countries as well. It has significantly impacted how people think about and prepare for their futures. I believe steel is the future for all markets. But in Hawaii alone, it is presently the way most homes and buildings are constructed. Light gauge (or cold-formed) steel framed homes now account for 62 percent of all new housing ventures statewide. (Australia follows with 8 percent and California with 5 percent). For builders, steel is a superior construction material. It has the highest strength to weight ratio of any building material (five times stronger than wood and one-third less weight). It is termite resistant and durable against rust. It doesn't rot, warp, split, crack or creep. It doesn't expand or contract with moisture content. It doesn't burn or add fuel to the spread of a fire. For homeowners, steel framed homes have a much lower probability of sustaining foundation problems, earthquake and high wind damage. Homes built with steel provide a safer environment for inhabitants and contribute to saving trees. We wish to preserve our trees for our keiki (children), and keiki's keiki. In North America more steel is annually recycled than aluminum, plastic and glass combined. With this, each year we save the energy equivalent to electrically power about one-fifth of the households in the United States for one year. For every ton of steel recycled, 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,400

pounds of coal and 120 pounds of limestone are saved. Steel's unique magnetic properties make it easily identifiable as a recyclable material. If a magnet sticks, then you know it is steel. Builders and consumers will get stable material prices, straight walls, square corners, and less jobsite waste (2 percent for steel vs. 20 percent for lumber). Using steel framing is the most innovative and practical way to build durable homes for all.

Promoting Members' Interests New members and others often inquire about the kinds and levels of HSA promotion of steel framing. For years, HSA has undertaken some carefully planned promotional campaigns aimed at builders, contractors, engineers, architects, suppliers and consumers. HSA has been highly visible at home, remodeling, con-

struction and other trade shows. You might also remember our successes during the 2001 Pacific Rim Steel Framing Conference in September at JW Marriott Ihilani, Metalcon in October 2001 in Las Vegas, PhilConstruct in November in Manila, the first steel speed house with the BIAHawaii during the Home Building & Remodeling Show in January 2002, International Builders' Show in February 2002 in Atlanta, Georgia, Maui Contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 32nd Annual Home Show in June 2002, and

DBEDT's Hawaii Sister Summit in July 2002. "These shows give us an excellent opportunity to reach out to the rest of the state and show others what the HSA is all about and what it can do for them," commented Mike Fernandez, former president and current director. Steel. The Better Builder. With all the advantages of and best practices in steel framing we all know the difference it can make. The key to continued growth is more training and education. Our membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; knowledge and skill, and that of our partner-organizations, will help HSA create better, more efficient steel framing solutions. We will continue to explore new trends and their implications in detail. These are the strengths of the HSA and we are going to assume the world leadership role and continue to march forward because our members are driving the new economy forward. Building homes with steel framing has never been easier. Providing tools, how-to concepts, and a list of those involved in steel framing, this resource guide is for anyone who is interested in the future technology of steel.

Benefits of Framing with Steel STEEL: The Most Recycled Material in the World

STEEL: Feel the Strength Steel is a uniform material • Steel is roll formed into shapes with precise tolerances. • There is very little contraction or expansion with steel. • The sections maintain their exact shape and size. Steel maintains its true shape • Steel does not shrink or expand when subjected to moisture changes caused by preservative treatments, rain, or changes in humidity. • The sections are straight and do not require sorting or special handling to ensure for crown. • No knots, warping, twisting, splitting, or cracking.

• Steel is 100 percent recyclable. • Steel framing materials contain at least 25 percent recycled steel. • A steel framed house may contain the equivalent of 6 scrapped automobiles. • 60 million tons of steel scrap are recycled each year: more than paper, aluminum, glass and plastic combined. • A wood home can use up to an acre of trees. • After a steel framed house is retired, it can also be recycled!

fuel to a fire. • 1/3 of all fires start in the wall cavity. • Steel framed houses do not "melt" in a fire. Framing members can resist up to 1,800 degrees F. • Actual case studies show steel houses perform very well in house fires, with little or no damage to the framing structure. • Houses framed all out of steel can qualify for lower insurance rates.

• Termites will enter treated lumber through cut ends and will build tunnels over the surface. • The best time to protect against termites is during the planning and construction phase. • $100 million is spent in Hawaii each year for prevention, control and repair. • Steel framing provides a termite proof solution for the structural integrity of your home.

Please save the trees!

What about Rust?

• 90 percent of North America's old growth forests have already been harvested. • It can take up to an acre of trees to build one house. • Wood prices are unstable and the quality has gone down. • Steel offers builders an environmentally friendly alternative to wood. • There is little waste when using steel framing materials. • Builders can reduce their disposal costs and divert material from local landfills.

Termite Facts • There are over 1,900 species of termites in the world. • The most commonly found termites in Hawaii are the Drywood and Formosan Subterranean. • A well fed Formosan queen can live for 20 years, and lay 2,000 eggs a day. • Each nest has 3 kinds of termites:

Reproducers Workers Soldiers • The winged termites are the reproductive stage of the termite. Termites swarm to find a mate and form new nests usually in MarchJune. Termite Prevention: • Pressure treated lumber is not immune to termite attack.

• In order for galvanized steel to rust there must be water present. If there is no water, no rust. • Steel framing members in wall cavities, attic spaces, or crawl spaces that are not exposed to water will last over 100 years. • Forensic studies recently conducted on Oahu residences built over 30 years ago showed steel wall studs with no visible signs of corrosion except in areas with plumbing leaks. • Zinc coating protects steel by providing a physical barrier as well as cathodic protection to the underlying steel. When the base steel is exposed, such as at a cut or scratch, the steel is cathodically protected by the sacrificial corrosion of the zinc coating adjacent to the steel.

"No Water = No Rust"

What about Lightning? • Steel framed houses do not attract lightning strikes. • In the event of a strike, the steel frame offers occupants more protection with several ground paths. • The steel frame reduces the likelihood of explosions, secondary fires, or personal injury. • Steel skyscrapers in Honolulu have provided occupants with safe offices and residences for years.

• Yes! A steel framed home can be engineered for the highest seismic rating given by code. • Steel’s strength and resiliency help it to survive the strongest earthquakes. • A steel framed home can be engineered for the highest wind loads given by code. • Steel has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any framing material. • For generations we have relied on the strength and durability of steel in our commercial buildings, hospitals, and schools.

How Easy is it to Remodel my Home? • Steel framing uses many of the same construction methods used in wood houses. • Steel framing can be used for additions and renovations for existing wood houses, especially those with termite damage. • Screwed connections make it easy to move walls and for other renovations in the future.

Breathe Easier . . . • The Healthy House Institute recommends steel framing for good indoor air quality. • Chemically sensitive homeowners and those susceptible to asthma are exposed to less toxins in a steel framed home. • Steel framing materials replace treated lumber which may contain hazardous materials. • The American Lung Association encourages the use of steel framing with its Health House program.

Steel is Strong and Straight • Steel framing has the highest strengthto-weight ratio to any building material. • It does not rot, warp, split, crack, or creep. • Steel does not expand or contract with moisture content • Using steel framing virtually eliminates nail pups and drywall cracking

Networking at the 2002 BIA Show T

he BIA Home Building and Remodeling Show showcased the industry's best products and services, including steel, from January 31 to February 3, 2002 at the Neal Blaisdell Exhibition Hall. Again the HSA, through the Trade Show committee chaired by Ralph Valentino of Hunt Building Corporation, met weekly to complete the steel speed house, the Alliance pavilion, and a seminar on light gauge steel framing. The speed house was a one-story, three bedroom, two-bath unit with 1,140 square feet of living space constructed in about seven hours and 39 minutes on January 31st. HSA volunteers manned the speed house to accommodate inquiries from visitors. The Alliance pavilion featured consumerrelated information on the benefits of using

steel framing. Some of the information presented included corrosion, termites, aesthetics, fire, recycling, and enhanced architectural design. The HSA won "Best All Around" Booth Award - for the fourth straight year. HSA's Education & Training committee chair, Sam Galante of Steel Truss & Panel, presented a seminar on light gauge steel structures and its benefits & advantages to about 60 individuals. HSA members were highly visible in the new HSA "Steel is For Real" t-shirts. LGSEA - Hawaii Chapter also participated and helped staff the booth. Mardie Torres, HSA executive director, was enthused about the Alliance's participation in the BIA since 1998. "Every year response has been tremendously overwhelming. As a volunteer-based organization, we were able to receive everything we needed from material and labor to trusses and products down to the last screw. There was a noticeable consumer interest in steelframed houses as people flooded back to volunteers in the HSA pavilion and the speed house to learn more about steel.â&#x20AC;?

Getting the Job Done Right!!! August 2002 Hawaii Pacific Steel Framing Alliance 13

Getting Started with Steel D

o you know that there are innovative steel framing products available now that can save you time and money? Do you know you can build a steel framed home using your current set of plans, without huge engineering bills, spending a lot of extra time with your plan checkers and building inspectors or manually doing a take-off and estimate that might take up to three days? And do you know that you can get reliable technical and "how-to" information at the click of a mouse or phone call for little to no investment? So, why not start building with steel today? To get started, here's what we recommend you do:

1. Consider using steel framing products for one application at a time. For instance, use steel floor joists, a competitive and easy product to learn on. Get a copy of HUD's "Builders Guide to Residential Steel Floors" at www.SteelFramingAlliance.com or the Steel Floor Guide - an easy-to-use guide for building and installing residential steel floor joists. It includes span tables, construction details, joist designators, materials and tools, how-to steps, construction tips, steel floor benefits and other resources. (NT20-01 $15.00) Also take a look at several products available in the market. 2. Look for a skilled carpenter in your area who has worked with steel before. According to U.S. News and World Report, "Want a new house that's immune to dry rot, moisture and termites, and resistant to hurricanes and earthquakes? Hire a steel house framer." You can search this guide and visit our website for directories of builders, framing contractors, suppliers and more. At the local level, the HSA Resource Directory is the only publication that serves the residential steel framing industry, consumers included. 3. If there are no skilled carpenters in your area, consider training a crew. The HSA Education & Training Committee, headed by Sam Galante, organizes seminars or workshop for members. Or visit www.SteelFramingAlliance.com/train/trngmap.html. You will see a map of training facilities that are using the Alliance's National Training Curriculum for residential steel framing, or are recommended by the Alliance. Contact HSA for further details. The National Training Curriculum offers comprehensive step-bystep steel-framing techniques for experienced and novice framers, instructors and students alike. It includes a copy of the Prescriptive Method, Residential Steel Beam and Column Tables, and the Thermal Design Guide. It is designed to assist community colleges, vo-tech schools, and other apprenticeship programs that train students in the field and classroom on a one-day, one-week, or even one-year schedule. Currently, the National Training Curriculum is being updated to include the new steel provisions in the building codes in addition to the new ANSI standards, specifically, the standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing — General Provision, Prescriptive Method for one and two-family dwellings, truss design, and header design. (See page 25 for more details on these standards.) To hasten implementation of steel framing provisions now in the building codes, a training seminar program "Design and Inspection of Light Gauge Steel Framed Structures" was developed. It substantially helped broaden the awareness and understanding of new building codes, SSMA stud identification standards, and general design and construction principles using steel framing. Since 1999, about 3,500

14 August 2002 Hawaii Pacific Steel Framing Alliance

building inspectors and plan checkers participated in training. 4. Get a copy of the new Craftsman book "Steel-Frame House Construction". Co-authored by the Alliance's Tim Waite and the NAHB Research Center, this Book explains steel framing techniques for homes, shows the techniques, tools, materials, and how you can make it happen. Includes hundreds of photos and illustrations, plus a CD-ROM with steel framing details and 37 pages of steel-frame cost estimates. To order, visit www.SteelFramingAlliance.com/pubs , www.BuildersBooks.com or call 800.79.STEEL. 5. Get a copy of the new SteelXpert™ version 1.21 SteelXpert™ is a takeoff and estimating software program for residential steel framing that manages the entire job from initial bidding through project completion. It helps building professionals save time, manage costs, boost productivity, increase steel accuracy, and track projects. For more information on SteelXpert™ visit www.SteelXpert.com or contact the Alliance. 6. Get the newest ANSI-accredited Prescriptive Method The newest Prescriptive Method is now ANSI-accredited, through a consensus process completed by the American Iron & Steel Institute's Committee on Framing Standards (COFS). It utilizes state-of-the-art technology in engineering — ASCE 98 for loads and LRFD design. It also presents the most technologically advanced header design including Lheaders and built-up headers. This new standard also includes extensive high wind and high seismic design approaches, expanded 'limits of applicability' (up to 40' wide buildings), more efficient details and shearwall design approach. 7. Get a copy of the new Low-Rise Residential Construction Details With over 103 universal details on general applications, floors, walls (interior and exterior), roofs (rafters and joists), and other miscellaneous connections, the Details gives you useful drawings based on over 10 years of best practices observed in the field. It is available in print or CD-ROM containing AutoCAD, DXF and WMF files and a PDF of the printed version. Other resource guides also are available, such as the span tables and construction details for L-shaped headers in residential and light commercial construction. (NT19-99F $15.00). Most of these materials are downloadable or a hard copy can be ordered on-line or by calling 1-800-79-STEEL.

Steel Framing Alliance T

he Steel Framing Alliance and its eight local alliances (California, Hawaii Pacific, Midwest, Southeastern, Texas, Mid-Atlantic, Carolina and Southwest), strengthened by close working relationships with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), the NAHB Research Center, PATH, HUD, and others, have made huge strides toward fully enabling the residential construction market for steel. Product standards, prescriptive building methods, adoption by the codes, training the code officials, and estimating software have collectively leveled the playing field for steel. At the same time, innovative steel framing products and effective training programs have helped to make steel an economically viable option for today's homebuilders and homebuyers. As the gateway to future building technology, the Steel Framing Alliance will continue to deliver innovative steel framing solutions to residential and light commercial construction industries.

New Standards for Steel Framing T

he American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) has recently published a new set of framing standards for coldformed steel, the first AISI documents that have received approval from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). ANSI is a private, non-profit organization that administers and coordinates the U.S. voluntary standardization and conformity assessment system for standards developers. The new standards were developed by the AISI Committee on Framing Standards, an ANSI-accredited, consensus standards body that develops, maintains, and improves AISI design and installation standards with the purpose of eliminating regulatory barriers and increasing the reliability and cost competitiveness of cold-formed steel framing. The ANSI standards include: Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing — General Provisions (GP 2001), — Prescriptive Method for One and Two Family Dwellings (PM 2001), — Truss Design (TRUSS 2001), and — Header Design (HEADER 2001). The Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing — General Provisions ($30) contains general requirements for residential and commercial construction, prescriptive and engineered design. Examples include member identification and labeling through basic tolerances such as in-line framing. It is the base standard from which the other three framing standards are derived. The Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing — Prescriptive Method for One and Two Family Dwellings ($99) is an extensively updated version of previous CABO and IRC

building code submittals as well as the Prescriptive Method, 2000 Edition. The newly revised Prescriptive Method incorporates all of the latest cost-saving developments such as the L-Header, ASCE 7-98, LRFD design, and an efficient design procedure for built-up headers. The Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing — Truss Design ($45) provides technical information and specification on cold-formed steel truss construction applying to the design, quality assurance, installation, and testing of steel trusses. Lastly, the Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing — Header Design ($37.50) is a two-part standard that offers design professionals the tools they need to design efficient built-up and L-shaped headers. "The publication of these standards is a culmination of several years worth of hard work by volunteers from the steel framing industry," commented Tim Waite, Steel Framing Alliance president. "The new standards provide the latest technology for designing, specifying, and constructing steel framed residential and light commercial buildings, and reflect the construction market's growing desire to innovate building methods with new materials." Steel Framing Alliance members receive substantial discounts on these publications. Level One members receive a 50 percent discount; Level Two members receive a 25 percent discount. Copies may be ordered by New ANSI standards for steel framing calling AISI at 202.452.7100, or on-line at www.steel.org. offer the building community more flexibility in design and construction.
