Denver, Colorado – BYLD, a pioneer in integrated software and hardware solutions for the construction industry, has announced the commencement of construction on ‘The Cooper,’ a new 72-unit multifamily building in Lakewood, Colorado. This project is set to utilize BYLD’s advanced structural framing platform, marking a significant step forward in the use of light gauge steel (LGS) in residential construction.
Originally designed as a wood structure, the project faced numerous challenges related to costs and insurance that stalled progress. BYLD’s intervention, proposing the switch to a light gauge steel structure, brought the project back to life. “We offered the BYLD platform as a more cost-effective solution and quickly redesigned the structure from wood to light gauge steel with Harvey Cleary Builders and Real Architecture,” explained Brendan McDonough, BYLD’s Vice President of Customer Engagement.
This adaptation not only addresses economic concerns but also ensures faster construction, reduced waste, and lower insurance costs. The Cooper is the third wood project to convert to BYLD’s LGS solution due to its numerous advantages over traditional construction methods. BYLD’s pipeline nationwide is expanding quickly as BYLD’s platform is providing a more cost-effective solution, said McDonough.
Wall to Wall, an LGS framing subcontractor, will collaborate with BYLD to guarantee that the software and hardware function seamlessly in producing the LGS structure. This partnership underscores BYLD’s commitment to providing comprehensive support and technological integration for its clients.
The move to light gauge steel is a testament to BYLD’s innovative approach, which harnesses the power of digital tools and automated production to revolutionize building processes. By reducing the need for skilled labor and minimizing construction time, BYLD’s solutions are setting new standards for efficiency and sustainability in the construction industry.
