Cold Forming Technology is reshaping the construction industry through the widespread use of light gauge steel (LGS) structures. At the forefront of this transformation is Set-Up Space, not as a machine builder, but as a specialized steel engineering and design office. Our team brings precision, expertise, and advanced digital tools to support architects, developers, and contractors in delivering efficient and sustainable steel frame designs for modern buildings.
Cold forming (or cold rolling) is a process that shapes steel at room temperature, eliminating the need for heat-based fabrication. It is commonly used to produce cold-formed steel profiles—such as studs, joists, channels, and panels—that form the backbone of light gauge steel structures.
Unlike traditional methods, cold forming allows for high accuracy and material efficiency. At Set-Up Space, we apply this technology within the design and detailing phase of construction projects, ensuring that every LGS component meets exact project specifications from the outset.
Cold forming begins with engineering-grade steel coils that are shaped into precise profiles using roll-forming processes. But the real power of cold forming lies in how engineers and designers harness its capabilities. At Set-Up Space, we focus on design optimization, structural analysis, and BIM-based detailing, ensuring that cold-formed steel components are engineered for both performance and constructability.
Through detailed 3D modeling and digital coordination, our team ensures that each component is ready for offsite fabrication, reducing waste, improving site coordination, and accelerating project delivery.
Our focus on cold formed steel design brings multiple benefits to clients across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors:
By aligning our engineering solutions with the strengths of cold-formed steel, Set-Up Space supports high-quality, fast-track construction projects.
As a dedicated steel design office, Set-Up Space offers a full suite of engineering services focused on light gauge steel framing systems. We do not manufacture machines—instead, we empower fabricators and builders with code-compliant, fabrication-ready design packages.
LGS Structural Design and Engineering
Our structural engineers specialize in designing complete LGS systems, including:
We work closely with architects and contractors to integrate cold-formed steel framing into both conventional and modular building systems.
BIM & 3D Modeling for LGS
We utilize advanced Building Information Modeling (BIM) platforms to generate highly detailed 3D models, ensuring full coordination across trades. This reduces construction errors, minimizes conflicts on site, and enables smooth offsite fabrication.
Shop Drawings and Panelization
Set-Up Space provides panelized framing plans, shop drawings, and fabrication files that streamline the prefabrication process. Every piece is engineered, labeled, and ready for cutting and assembly, eliminating guesswork and improving accuracy.
Cold formed LGS systems are increasingly used in a wide range of projects. Our office supports:
We tailor our designs to meet the needs of every project—from small-scale additions to full multi-story builds—using cold-formed steel as the core structural solution.
Choosing Set-Up Space means partnering with a team of LGS specialists who understand both the technical and practical aspects of steel frame construction. Our holistic approach ensures:
With over 15 years of experience in light gauge steel structure design, we are committed to driving innovation, sustainability, and buildability in every project we touch.
As cold forming technology continues to shape the future of construction, Set-Up Space stands out as a leading steel engineering and design office focused on light gauge steel structures. Through advanced design tools, engineering expertise, and collaborative workflows, we help our clients build smarter, faster, and greener with cold-formed steel.
