Cold-Form Metal Framing (CFMF) is quickly becoming the go-to solution for efficient, modern construction. Lighter than structural steel and more reliable than wood, this system brings speed, precision, and durability to the job site.
At Grupo Contreras, we’ve used CFMF extensively across Tennessee and Georgia. Here’s what makes it a standout option.
What Is Cold-Form Metal Framing?
It’s a lightweight steel framing system made from galvanized steel shaped at room temperature. It’s commonly used in non-load-bearing interior and exterior walls, partitions, and commercial structures.
Benefits Over Traditional Systems
1. Unmatched Precision
Cold-formed steel components are cut to spec, meaning straighter, cleaner lines and better alignment during installation.
2. Superior Strength and Longevity
Unlike wood, CFMF won’t warp, rot, or attract termites. It also offers improved fire resistance.
3. Faster Installations
Thanks to prefabrication and repeatability, it significantly shortens construction timelines.
4. Less Maintenance Over Time
No warping, mold, or shrinkage issues mean long-term peace of mind.
How We Use It at Grupo Contreras?
We’ve installed CFMF in a range of commercial and institutional builds, from office exteriors to hotel interiors. We work closely with GCs to integrate into BIM models and align with mechanical and electrical trades from the start.
That means fewer clashes, more control, and smoother delivery.
Cold-Form Metal Framing is more than a trend, it’s a solution for projects that demand speed, structure, and long-term reliability. At Grupo Contreras, we don’t just install it, we build with it like it’s our own name on the line.
