Towards Sustainability & Resilience by

We at Scottsdale have recognized the devastating consequences of poor performance of engineered lumber decades ago, which precipitated our relentless effort on bringing construction automation and advanced technologies to steel framing, as the logical substitute to wood. The end result of this endeavor is that we continue to be the trusted partner of choice for advanced roll-forming technologies be it as a stand-alone solution or a powerful enabler of other weather-resilient construction methods.

Each and every cold-formed steel section produced by a Scottsdale rollformer holds an ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) High Velocity Hurricane Zone approval, making our rollforming equipment and software the ideal solution for overcoming climate change challenges in residential construction.
