How it works

Start with the project.
Agree the scope. Build from there.

Define the building package and responsibilities with your project team before fabrication and assembly.

From the first conversation to assembly

  1. Share what is ready

    Tell us the intended use, location, project size and target schedule. Identify your drawings, site status, foundation design and the people involved.

  2. Review the design and requirements

    Discuss the proposed framing system and the information needed to define the project. Identify any required design work or coordination with your project team.

  3. Confirm the package

    Agree the materials, drawings, documentation and services included in the proposal. Confirm the assumptions behind the estimate and the work that will be handled separately.

  4. Plan fabrication and delivery

    Confirm the production sequence, delivery arrangements and site readiness against the agreed scope and schedule.

  5. Coordinate assembly

    Confirm who will erect the structure and what assembly guidance, training or supervision is required. Discuss any additional services before work begins.

Common questions

Can I bring my own plans?

Yes. Tell us their current stage and which construction system they use. The team will discuss the review and coordination needed for the proposed steel-framing scope.

Can I request a preliminary comparison with wood framing?

Yes. Start with the same design and scope assumptions so the comparison can identify inclusions, exclusions and items requiring further review.

Does a catalogue design include everything shown?

The rendering illustrates a concept. Your written scope confirms the supplied materials, finishes, documentation and services.

Can my contractor assemble the frame?

Discuss your contractor’s experience and the support needed. Assembly responsibilities and any requested guidance are agreed for the project.

How do I find out whether ECOLIT can serve my location?

Include the project city and state in your enquiry. The team will confirm the available supply and service options for that location.
