Tucson Chapter Lunch Meeting: 

Cold-Formed Steel Connector & Fastener Solutions:

Best Practices, Pitfalls, and Design Insights

Cold-formed steel framing has become a cornerstone of modern construction, offering strength, versatility, and efficiency for mid-rise and commercial projects. This presentation provides an in-depth look at connector and fastener solutions for CFS applications, including bridging and bracing, deflection and drift clips, and rigid connectors. We’ll explore strategies for selecting the right connector and fastener combinations, highlight common pitfalls that can lead to costly errors, and share lessons learned from real-world installations. Attendees will also gain insight into tools like CFS Designer™, which streamline design and specification for engineers. Join us for a session that blends technical expertise with actionable best practices to improve design accuracy, reduce labor costs, and ensure compliance with code requirements.
