Framing a tiny home with metal studs // Volstrukt | We frame it. You Finish it.

[@MrBugman2525]

Very good craftmanship and presentation

[@Tecsaco]

Hello You can use magic roof material to cover the roof, which is much more resistant and prevents the structure from shaking

[@peterxyz3541]

This is fascinating. Thanks! I’m researching a new build.

[@gebertb24]

Volstrukt really needs to change their website. I don't want to fill out any forms. my goodness. I just want to know the options and a rough price.

[@Volstrukt]

Thanks for the suggestion! We have a wide range of models to start with, yet almost all of our projects are custom-tailored to our customers' needs. The project can include various design services, a trailer (for tiny homes on wheels), anchoring hardware and fasteners, sheathing, assembly labor (varies by location), and or custom finishes. That combined with the everchanging cost in construction materials makes it very difficult for us to keep updating pricing online. The cost of steel, hardware, sheathing, labor, and shipping can vary week to week so we do our best to provide the most accurate pricing we can when you're ready to start your project.

[@brittanyreaves3983]

Never Gonnatell there isnt a rough cost when they do custom jobs. Every project is different. They aren't gonna have a "rough" estimate unless they have some idea of the project your planning to build

[@katieh3236]

@@Volstrukt where can it be bought?

[@ramenchuu]

What type of insulation would work with the steel and what type of screws are you using? zinc coated?

[@axeliosstonewall6235]

What are your costs? The jimmy to the Reagan. Your website says nothing on approximate costs.

[@GoatZilla]

So uh, if that wood subfloor goes bad, how hard is it to replace?

[@pinewindowcleaning3222]

subfloor in direct contact with metal rails on floor?? i've been researching that is a nono.

[@jamesalvarado3961]

Are these structures up to code by California standards? Everyone says they have the strictest requirements for the materials used in a home. Due to fires, earthquakes and mudslides if you live on a hill.

[@Thisisausername719]

Hi there, great video even greater machine you have there. whats the gauge of studs used in this video?

[@Volstrukt]

Hi Laurence, we produce studs using 20ga and/or 18ga Grade 50 galvanized steel coils

[@andylee3349]

How is thermal bridging compared to a wood frame structure of the same size?

[@Volstrukt]

We use rigid foam on the exterior of our frame kits to create a thermal break. The continuous insulation on the exterior and closed-cell spray foam in the wall cavity makes the ~200sqft unit exceed most states minimum R-Value requirements. The smaller tiny house spaces tend to get cooled or heated very quickly and maintain tempurature with minimal power usage. Thanks!

[@willwilliams2944]

I love Volstrukts answer to this. Because breaking that thermal bridge with exterior insulation is definitely the way to go 100% If you don't break that thermal bridge your R value is cut in half. Atleast based on all of the studies I have seen although they are skewed imo.

[@godamkeras4144]

The screw is made of plastic?

[@bikeninja956]

can you use 25g with lot's of extra bracing for load bearing walls? seems like it's the only guage I can find around here...

[@Volstrukt]

Hi Bike Ninja, we use premium grade (

[@leosouza2230]

Would you guys sell me the CAD for a space that I have here in Brazil?

[@TheXanUser]

How about a kit that isn't meant to be built on a trailer, but instead loaded on one only when it needs moving? like a container home type kit..

[@jime1401]

I would like to know the same thing !

That is sill gasket!

[@CORRIGEEN71]

Do u sell framing plan details spec etc?

[@kirstensanford5949]

I like the idea of steel framing but your website was way too hard to navigate and not enough pictures of what you offer. I want to see what id be buying without having to fill out a ton of forms. Smh will be taking my business elsewhere

[@WelcomeToMyDream]

Highly motivated and a quick learner, you're definitely ready for a project like this! I bet it's a dream come true to have you as a customer :)

[@pepecorleone9021]

+Kirsten Sanford I just went to their site it was easy to navigate each model listed in bold lettering, almost every model frame had roughly 12 pictures. Although im not a fan of filling stuff out to get a quote as a business owner I can see why they want your information upfront so that you're forced to come up with your side of the information before you get someone on the phone wasting half their day with clueless pontificating, plus it makes the quoting process much more accurate.. So essentially you'd toss to the side a great product simply because of a few minor obstacles?? Good luck on your build, because things get WAY harder than navigating a decently done website and filling out short questionnaires XD XD..

[@seminolerick6845]

PEPE CORLEONE Thanks for saving me time.... outta here... !

[@CWHolemanII]

I won't deal with another particle board/whatever-you-call-it flooring. Will you do real plywood?

[@katieh3236]

Is this real anf for sale at market in the USA or Canada?

[@jaysonreese]

We are located in the US. Feel free to visit our website in the description. Thanks!

WALCOME

[@billionairesmeditation]

do yall ship overseas?

[@Volstrukt]

Yes, we have shipped out kits overseas but our clients are responsible for coordinating the logistics on international projects.

[@joiab11]

amazing!

[@BagemRuStudio-Trailers]

Cool!

[@samhuang1486]

W50ft x H 28 ft wall how much ?

[@Volstrukt]

Hi Sam, the cost of framing depends on the complexity of the design, your local zoning and load requirements. Feel free to email us a [e-mail] with your drawings and we can provide you with an estimate. Thanks!

[@johnmendez9849]

How much is it sqf?

[@Volstrukt]

Hi John, the price per square foot varies quite a bit depending on the complexity of the design and size of the project. Feel free to email us at [e-mail] and we can get you some pricing. Thanks!

[@aaronoconnor606]

Do you guys do aluminum?

[@Volstrukt]

Hi Aaron, We only produce frames using light-gauge galvanized steel.

[@TheRosa63]

what about rust proofing fo the steel? slide outs are a good idea,

[@dre04mach]

looks like it's all galvanized.

[@Steve_Solomon]

Can you add your website in the description of the video please

[@Volstrukt]

Thanks Steve. Done (for all videos). volstrukt.com

[@Steve_Solomon]

Thank you, I look forward to checking the website out! I like the idea of what you guys are doing. Whats the avg price range for your services? And do you guys build trailers as well?

[@andrereynard6684]

Are you able to ship to Cape Town South Africa

[@Volstrukt]

Andre Reynard Thanks for your enquiry. We can ship frames overseas. Please get in touch via our website or email to [e-mail] to chat to our sales team. www.volstrukt.com/contact-us

[@kitsune1940]

What the thickness of the metal stund is in this video?

[@Volstrukt]

Hey Ioannis, we use 20-22 gauge depending on the project.

Hello how are you? I'm Janildo Faria, I live in Brazil and I was interested in making a house like this, you can send me the project. my email: [e-mail]

[@rekostarr7149]

Steel huh? Stainless?

[@Free_Range_Female]

Can you do frames with slide-outs?

[@melonie2480]

Volstrukt Marketing How much would something like a slide out added cost on a shell?

[@pepecorleone9021]

I think the mechanical aspect of adding rollers and a sliding mechanism would be up to you to engineer for your tiny house, I dont think they do that type of work.

[@SmalltimestudiosNY]

They don’t offer slide outs but I’ve built light gauge metal frame tiny homes with slide outs before

[@joeguzman3558]

Can it be so light to be pull by a Toyota Corolla ??

[@dre04mach]

You can probably make something out of 100 lb piece of carbon fiber wall light enough to be pulled by a corolla, but the wind resistance of any large trailer will push and pull that little car around like nobody's business. the aerodynamics of a big trailer like that are much harder to deal with than the weight of it. Imagine pulling a parachute going down the highway...

[@pepecorleone9021]

LOL!!! For a Corolla I wouldnt do anything bigger than a small teardrop trailer and even that might be a burden on that transmission and cause it to fail prematurely. One of the reasons I like buying trucks is that everything is built over spec, transmissions, differentials, driveshafts in the case of RWD. They do that because they always assume you're gonna be carrying more than the weight of the truck itself.. You really get what you pay for when you get a solid built truck although gas mileage usually suffers quite a bit.

[@steelnaveia5261]

Show up 😍😍😍👏👏👏 brasileiro

[@kathleenwinser4033]

How much do they cost?

[@MoanikaLewinsky]

Kathleen Winser Really? I am not related to this company at all, but a ballpark guess of mine on the most likely response you'd get from them is some like this: "It depends of size, shape, color, flavour and aroma, so please get in touch with one of our designers to help you with your project, thank you".... ;)

[@cannonwar1]

she means by the foot ,I believe the kit that is..........compared to wood per foot....

[@Mikediddylilley]

That thin zinc coated stuff is NOT gonna last as long as you think! Cheaply made, and not made to last!

[@Volstrukt]

Hey Mike! Saw you are a skoolie retrofitter which is AWESOME. If you are referring to the same stuff as on a bus, remember a bus is exposed to the elements nearly all of it's life, including salted roads which is a notorious metal destroyer (as I'm sure you know). So, our frames are built to last inside a wall. However we have several "test" frames out in the field right now with zero rust that have been exposed directly to the elements for over four years. I think we are dealing with apples and oranges, but I'd love to hear your response on this. Thanks!

[@levigonzales3882]

If you were a real steal framer you would know that the walls are built in place. And not built on the ground then stood up

[@erichbreckoff3405]

I have to tell that to the guys down the road here, they do complete walls and deliver them to be assembled to houses elswhere!

[@levigonzales3882]

If you build it in place you wont have to do the work twice. That's the whole idea of steel framing. And you will not hurt yourself picking up the walls.

[@erichbreckoff3405]

The point is to install wiring, windows and panel in an convient way, for lifting the walls you assemble a crew for an brief moment (and the advantage of installing with the wall on the ground is big, work as much as quality wise)

[@ggshsjsjsfff5532]

wood frame is stronger than that thin steel

[@ThoughtWellness]

Ggshsjsjs Fff youre thinking aluminum, buddy.
