Aloha and welcome to the 2003/2004 edition of the Hawaii Pacific Steel Framing Alliance Resource Directory. This directory is a valuable and comprehensive tool acting as a one-stop guidebook for those interested in steel framing, helping them stay abreast of the latest information on products, services and technologies in residential and commercial steel framing construction, as well as showing our membership and their capabilities. As we mark the sixth anniversary of the Hawaii Pacific Steel Framing Alliance, Inc. (formerly the Hawaii Steel Alliance), we also wish to highlight the success of the Alliance's campaign towards light gauge steel framed construction in Hawaii. More and more people and companies are realizing the unbeatable benefits of steel framing. And their numbers have consistently grown year after year and have significantly helped carry Hawaii's overall economy, creating both new jobs and increased income. The past two years have seen welcome gains in the housing industry. Today, Hawaii is the established national leader in per-capita steel-framed housing. As a catalyst for growth, the Alliance (HSA) serves as an industry promoter for manufacturers, developers, builders and design professionals who have direct interest in furthering the development of steel framing. As we move into this year and beyond, our focus is on further encouraging and promoting the use of steel framing, especially among designers and builders. Current residential steel framing trends show an increase of up to 300 percent of the skilled labor force will be needed for housing by the year 2005 here in Hawaii. Just recently, the Alliance awarded students of Waiakea High School with industry certificates for completing the Residential Steel Framing competency training. Their completion has made a profound statement about the significant achievements and our role of training new builders to meet these increased needs for skilled tradesmen in steel framing. Through our dissemination of product information, facilitation of training and educational programs, research and testing, and coordination of exchanges of ideas and methods, the HSA helps our membership bring the implementation and advancement of steel-framed homes to the forefront of home building. We are well on our way to making steel framing the de-facto standard for the housing industry by the end of this decade – with the strength of our membership as well as our alliance with our mainland counterpart organizations. The interest and dedication at the local level is what is going to accelerate the growth of residential and commercial steel framing. The Alliance looks forward to offering more new ways to engage all players in the building industry to the future of construction – steel framing. While I invite everyone interested in steel framing to join the Alliance, I also wish to encourage every HSA member to spread the word about our Alliance and the benefits from all that we have to offer. And together let's capitalize on the immense opportunities that lie ahead.
Mahalo,
Ralph Valentino President
Congratulations to the Hawaii Pacific Steel Framing Alliance for the publication of the 6th consecutive Resource Directory. While this directory is an excellent reference tool, it also makes a profound statement about the significant achievements that are attainable through the collective effort of talented individuals. It's no secret that Hawaii has become the steel framing capital of the world. And many people are aware that cold-formed steel is used in nearly 70 percent of all new homes built in the islands. However, it is remarkable that it has become the clear material of choice in just under 10 years. This impressive growth wasn't achieved through sleight of hand or stroke of luck, but is the result of the hard work of many individuals. Members of the HSA come from many backgrounds, have diverse skills and bring a tremendous wealth of knowledge and experience. This is evident in the pages of the Resource Directory, as well as through the alliance's long track record of focusing these abilities to solve problems, create opportunities, and spur the growth of steel framing. The programs, services and activities provided by the HSA have not only had a huge impact on the growth of steel framing in Hawaii, but are also setting the pace for other alliances in the United States. The recent PACRIM conference was another significant achievement that demonstrated the potential of a strong and vibrant local alliance. Attendees from around the world and all corners of the building and construction industry witnessed the potential of steel framing and left inspired to re-create this in their own backyards. The national alliance has long recognized the important role that the HSA has played in the growth of steel framing. As we move into this year, and beyond, our focus is on creating tools and services that will help you identify and capitalize on opportunities to grow your businesses and the use of steel framing. Research on fire/sound ratings will make it possible for builders to use steel in locations typically limited to block or wood framing. Additional testing programs will provide information that expands the information available in the codes and aids the development of industry standards. A new business plan for developing the commercial framing market will quantify usage, but also identify applications and methods that offer immediate opportunities. New educational options will provide everyone from framers to code officials with faster and greater access to training programs. A new Web site speeds your ability to get information and ideas. Perhaps the most important element in this mix of activities is the continuing support and involvement of the HSA and other local alliances. We rely on you for information about the needs of your local markets and ideas on how to meet those needs. We are able to marshal national resources to develop solutions and provide these to you where they are needed the most – at the grassroots. The HSA provides an excellent model for how we can be successful at every level, and I'm looking forward to working with my many new and old friends in Hawaii this year and in the future.
Sincerely,
Larry Williams President

Steeling the Pacific Rim The Hawaii Pacific Steel Framing Alliance (HSA) is a 501(c) (6) nonprofit organization established in May 1997 that encourages and promotes the widespread, practical and economic use of light gauge steel framing for residential and light commercial construction in the Pacific Rim. Before the 1990s, few individuals believed in the benefits of steel framing for Hawaii homeowners. Steel framing has since gained acceptance among designers and contractors, not only in Hawaii, but also in other countries in the Pacific Rim. On April 7, 2001, HSA formally changed its name to the Hawaii Pacific Steel Framing Alliance -- a move in response to the Alliance's mission to expand to the Asia-Pacific countries. The HSA engages in training programs to help carpenters learn more about steel framing; helps create new technical resources for design professionals, contractors and framers; and develops new field training and product testing programs. The organization also seeks to provide quality shelter through excellence in design, building, and materials, offering homeowners reliable assistance and consumer information. Seeing steel framing as an enduring building medium for the world's housing needs, the HSA strives to be the preeminent worldwide steel framing resource for designers, managers, estimators, suppliers, and contractors in the State of Hawaii and throughout the Pacific Rim. In 2001 cold-formed steel framing accounted for about 65 percent of all new housing ventures on Oahu. At present, Hawaii has become the undisputed leader in the percentage of steel-framed homes being constructed anywhere in the world.

Getting Ahead with Steel By Mardie C. Torres, HSA Executive Director
T
he increasing environmental concerns in the world today have caused many people to examine the way we live. These issues have significantly affected every aspect of our lives, including the materials we use in construction. What we are building (or forfeiting) by myriad daily decisions is our future. Only those who can imagine and create the future will be around to enjoy it. And choosing steel is a vital part of tomorrow's vision. We believe steel framing is the future of construction. The Hawaii Pacific Steel Framing Alliance (HSA) was established in 1997 to stimulate the use of light gauge steel in Hawaii as well as in the Pacific Rim. Due to its efforts, nearly 70 percent of all new home starts on Oahu today use steel studs, up from 25 percent in 1997. Based on an HSA survey, Australia follows with 8 percent and California with 5 percent. Also, in a recent survey conducted by KHON Fox 2 TV, approximately 12,000 out of 15,000 people preferred steel-framed homes.
Steel as a Better Builder The use of cold-formed steel members for building construction is an intelligent choice which benefits not only the environment, but also the contractor, engineer, architect and developer. The basis of these advantages lie in steel's material characteristics and environmentally-friendly properties. Steel has the highest strength to weight ratio of any building material (five times stronger than wood and one-third less its weight). A steel-framed home is a long-lasting dwelling that does not feed termites, mold or other organisms. Steel framing uses 25 percent minimum recycled content; is 100 percent recyclable; provides life cycle energy savings due to air tightness of a steel building; and has a long structure life, reducing the drain on building resources (zero depletion of iron resources). Galvanized steel studs have absolutely consistent dimensions and won't warp or bend after a wall, floor or roof is assembled. They are durable against rust and do not expand or contract with moisture content. They do not burn or add fuel to the spread of a fire. Builders and consumers will get stable material prices, straight walls and square corners. Steel also continues to remain the most recycled material in North America; more than aluminum, plastic and glass combined. In fact, all new steel products contain recycled steel products, or steel scrap; and steel
retains its material integrity even when it is recycled. And when consumers buy new steel products, they are taking the important step, perhaps unknowingly, of closing the recycling loop. For every ton of steel recycled, 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,400 pounds of coal and 120 pounds of limestone are saved. With this we save the energy equivalent to electrically power about one-fifth of the households in the United States for one year. During 2002, over 70 million tons of steel scrap found its way to end markets rather than landfills, and this resulted in an overall recycling rate of 70.7 percent for steel, a 4.3 percent increase over 2001. Using steel framing can help builders eliminate unnecessary waste of building materials, recycle all that can be recycled, and build with recycled products. For homeowners, steel framed homes have a much lower probability of sustaining foundation problems, and earthquake and high wind damage. Homes built with steel provide a safer environment for inhabitants and contribute to saving our natural resources. We wish to preserve our resources for our keiki (children) and our keiki's keiki.
Steel as a Green Material A study was commissioned recently by Earth Kind in Washington, DC to assess the benefits of using steel framing in residential construction. It determined that steel framing could be recognized as a "green" building material based on economic and environmental criteria. The study concludes that the steel industry is increasingly producing materials for the residential market that are cost competitive, performance enhancing, and environmentally advantageous. The steel industry has actively improved its environmental record in mining, processing, and recycling steel. Better data is available on the progress made in pollution control from mining, processing, and the actual steel making process. With a history of recycling extend-
10 August 2003 Hawaii Pacific Steel Framing Alliance
ing over 100 years, steel is recycled at a rate of 68.5 percent, and it maintains its integrity and does not degenerate or degrade when recycled. According to the study, waste from the framing operation of a typical steel framed house can fit in a normal residential trash can, has scrap value, and is readily accepted and purchased by scrap yards.
New Standards, Codes & Tools Steel studs are strong products that allow for longer clear-spans in the design process. They weigh less, providing ease of handling. New design standards for engineers help shorten the learning curve, while industry-standard details and design methods help shorten the amount of time it takes to engineer a structure. The market for steel framing also is receiving a boost by the gradually increasing use of pre-engineered components like headers, trusses, and floor systems similar to what is available for wood framing. A breakthrough has been made in the development of new, more efficient headers, one of the most time-consuming steel framing components to assemble. An "L"-shaped header is increasingly being used in place of back-to-back or box headers because it uses less steel, is easier to insulate, takes less time to fabricate, and uses fewer screws. In recent years, there have been significant advances in the development of efficient cutting and fastening tools that will lower builders' labor costs by speeding the assembly of the house frame. Screw attachment of studs takes longer than nailing wood studs together, but several major tool manufacturers have introduced new, faster
screw guns and others have developed fasteners -- much like the nails that framers are familiar with -- to more rapidly connect framing members. Other new technologies are also being used or are in development. Steel and wood stud construction can be blended in such applications as remodeling.
This represents an ideal situation for builders, since they can now choose from more than one framing construction material based on what and where it makes sense. With more training and education, HSA continues to help create better, more efficient building solutions. Our strengths come
from our members who are driving the new economy forward. We are building momentum for steel across the state and strive to assume the world leadership role. Please contact me anytime to find out how you also can become a member of HSA.

Getting Started With Steel T
he Alliance continues to be a resource for information and publications about steel framing. There are innovative steel framing products available now that save time and money. It's now possible to build a steel framed home using traditional plans without incurring large engineering bills, spending a lot of extra time with plan checkers and building inspectors, or manually doing a take-off and estimate that may take up to three days. Reliable technical and "how-to" information also is available at the click of a mouse or with a simple phone call for little to no investment. To get started, here's what we recommend: 1. Consider using steel framing products for one application at a time. For instance, use steel floor joists, a competitive and easy product to learn on. Get a copy of "Builders Guide to Residential Steel Floors" from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development or the Steel Floor Guide -- an easy-to-use guide for building and installing residential steel floor joists. It includes span tables, construction details, joist designators, materials and tools, how-to steps, construction tips, steel floor benefits and other resources. (NT20-01 $15.00) Also take a look at several products available in the market. 2. Look for a skilled carpenter in your area who has worked with steel before. According to U.S. News and World Report, "Want a new house that's immune to dry rot, moisture and termites, and resistant to hurricanes and earthquakes? Hire a steel house framer." You can search this guide and visit our web sites for directories for builders, framing contractors, suppliers and more. At the local level, the HSA Resource Directory is the only publication that serves the residential and com-
mercial steel framing industry, consumers included. 3. If there are no skilled carpenters in your area, consider training a crew. The Alliance has been using SFA's National Training Curriculum for Residential Steel Framing, which offers comprehensive step-by-step steel-framing techniques for experienced and novice framers, instructors and students alike. It includes a copy of the Prescriptive Method, Residential Steel Beam and Column Tables, and the Thermal Design Guide. It is designed to assist community colleges, vocational-technology schools, and other apprenticeship programs with training students in the field and classroom on a one-day, one-week, or even one-year schedule. To hasten implementation of steel framing provisions now in the building codes, a training seminar program "Design and Inspection of Light Gauge Steel Framed Structures" has been developed. It has substantially helped broaden the awareness and understanding of new building codes, SSMA stud identification standards, and general design and construction principles using steel framing. Since 1999, aside from design professionals and contractors, over 3,500 building inspectors and plan checkers also have participated in training. 4. Get a copy of Craftsman's "Steel-Frame House Construction."

Benefits of Steel Framing Steel: Feel the Strength Steel is a uniform material • Steel is roll formed into shapes with precise tolerances. • There is very little contraction or expansion with steel • The sections maintain their exact shape and size. Steel maintains its true shape • Steel does not shrink or expand when subjected to moisture changes
caused by preservative treatments, rain, or changes in humidity. • The sections are straight and do not require sorting or special handling to ensure for crown. • No knots, warping, twisting, splitting, or cracking. Excellent quality for the homeowner • Straight walls and ceilings. • Aesthetically pleasing surfaces. • Quality control is stressed in all phases of the manufacturing process so the highest possible quality is delivered to the job site.
Steel remains North America's most recycled material. • Steel is 100 percent recyclable and considered a green building material. • Steel framing materials contain at least 25 percent recycled steel. • A steel framed house may contain the equivalent of six scrapped automobiles. • 60 million tons of steel scraps are recycled each year: more than paper, aluminum, glass and plastic combined. • After a steel framed house is retired, it also can be recycled!
What About Cost? Check out the steel framed house equation:
Savings in steel materials + Investment in framing experts = Savings, long-term maintenance, and family security
Environmental Benefits
Fire Resistance
• Steel offers builders an environmentally friendly alternative to wood. • There is little waste when using steel framing materials. • Builders can reduce their disposal costs and divert material from local landfills.
• Steel framed houses are fire resistant. • Studs, joists, and rafters do not add fuel to a fire. • One-third of all fires start in the wall cavity. • Steel framed houses do not "melt" in a fire. Framing members can resist up to 1,800 degrees F. • Actual case studies show steel houses perform very well in house fires, with little or no damage to the framing structure. • Houses framed all out of steel can qualify for lower insurance rates.
Termite Facts: • There are over 1,900 species of termites in the world. • The most commonly found termites in Hawaii are the Drywood and Formosan Subterranean "Super termite." • An average colony consists of about 3 million termites, but can be as large as 10 million. A single colony normally survives about 35 years. • A well-fed Formosan queen can live for 25 years, and lay 1,000 eggs a day. • Each nest has 3 kinds of termites: reproducers, workers, soldiers • The winged termites are the reproductive stage of the termite. Termites swarm to find mates and form new nests usually in March – June.

Termite Prevention: • The best time to protect against termites is during the planning and construction phase. • Over $100 million is spent in Hawaii each year for prevention, control and repair. • Steel framing provides a termite proof solution for the structural integrity of your home.
What About Rust? • "No Water = No Rust" • In order for galvanized steel to rust there must be water present. If there is no water, no rust. • Steel framing members in wall cavities, attic spaces, or crawl spaces that are not exposed to water will last over 100 years. • Forensic studies recently conducted on Oahu residences built over 40 years ago showed steel wall studs with no visible signs of corrosion except in areas with plumbing leaks. • Zinc coating protects steel by providing a physical barrier as well as cathodic protection to the underlying steel. When the base steel is exposed, such as at a cut or scratch, the steel is cathodically protected by the sacrificial corrosion of the zinc coating adjacent to the steel.
What About Lightning? • Steel framed houses do not attract lightning strikes. • In the event of a strike, the steel frame offers occupants more protection with several ground paths. • The steel frame reduces the likelihood of explosions, secondary fires, or personal injury. • Steel skyscrapers in Honolulu have provided occupants with safe offices and residences for years.
How easy is it to remodel my home? • Steel framing uses many of the same construction methods used in wood houses. • Steel framing can be used for additions and renovations for existing wood houses, especially those with termite damage. • Screwed connections make it easy to move walls and other renovations in the future.
Earthquakes or hurricanes? • Yes! Steel framed homes can be engineered for the highest seismic or wind loads given by code. • Steel's strength and resiliency help it to survive the strongest earthquakes. • Steel has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any framing material. • For generations we have relied on the strength and durability of steel in our commercial buildings, hospitals, and schools.
Breathe Easier • The Healthy House Institute recommends steel framing for good indoor air quality. • Chemically sensitive homeowners and those susceptible to asthma are exposed to fewer toxins in a steel framed home. • The American Lung Association encourages the use of steel framing with its Health House program.

Steeling the BIA Home Building & Remodeling Show At the first-ever Steelman Competition, each of the four steel-framing competitors had to build a 10-by-8 foot storage module. The participants — Steve Winner, Sunrise Construction; Sherwin Ancheta, Inter-Island Construction (the winner); Curtis Kerns, Coastal Construction; and Bryan Conner, Dawson Group — were judged on speed, quality of work, adherence to design specifications, and appearance. The alliance booth featured consumer related information on the benefits of using steel framing. Topics included corrosion, termites, aesthetics, fire, recycling, and enhanced architectural design. The booth, which was manned by HSA and LGSEA members, won the "Best All Around" Award for the fifth straight year. Sam Galante of Steel Truss & Panel, HSA education & training committee chair, conducted a seminar on light gauge steel structures, their benefits and advantages.
T
he HSA participated in the Building Industry Association's 9th annual Home Building and Remodeling Show on February 6-9, 2003 at the Neal Blaisdell Exhibition Hall in three ways: with the first Steelman competition, an award-winning association booth, and a seminar on light gauge steel framing.

Mardie Torres, HSA executive director, is enthusiastic about the alliance's participation in the BIA show. "Every year's responses have been tremendously overwhelming. As a volunteerbased organization, we were able to receive everything we needed, from material to labor, truss products down to the last screw. Judging from the number of people who kept coming back to the HSA booth wanting to know more about steel framing benefits, there is noticeable consumer interest in steel framed houses."
Steel Recycling Rate T
he Steel Recycling Institute (SRI) announced in May 2003 that in 2002 construction and demolition of ferrous debris remain at the very impressive recycling rate of 95 percent for structural beams and plates. In addition, there is continued growth in the collection and recycling of rebars and other construction materials, which increased in 2002 to 57.5 percent, from 50 percent in 2001. When it comes to household recycling, appliances continue the trend with a recycling rate in 2002 of 86.6 percent up from 85.0 percent in 2001. Additionally, Americans continue to participate in their local curbside and drop-off programs and the steel can recycling rate has seen a slight increase in 2002 to 58.5 percent, from 58.1
in 2001. The SRI continues to educate consumers that recycling is not limited to the kitchen. Whether it's an empty aerosol shaving cream can or other empty steel nonfood containers, they
need to be diverted from the trash bin and placed in the recycling bin. For more information about steel recycling, visit the SRI's website: www.recycle-steel.org.

The Right STUF T
he Steel Stud Manufacturers Association (SSMA) endeavors to supply products that meet or exceed standards established by national, state and local code bodies and by recognized industry associations. These products, recognized by ICBO Evaluation Service of the SSMA, comply with the Uniform Building Code and have a four-part identification code which identifies the size (both depth and flange width), style, and material thickness of each member. See the ICBO ES Evaluation Report No. 4943P at www.ssma.com. Member Depth: (Example: 6" = 600 x 1/100 inches) All member depths are taken in 1/100 inch. For all "T" sections member depth is the inside to inside dimension.
Style: (Example: Stud or Joist section = S) The four alpha characters utilized by the designator system are: S = Stud or Joist Sections T = Track Sections U = Channel Sections F = Furring Channel Sections
Flange Width: (Example: 1 5/8 = 1.625" = 162 x 1/100 inches) All flange widths are taken in 1/100 inch.
Material Thickness: (Example: 0.054 in. = 54 mils; 1 mil = 1/1000 in.) Material thickness is the minimum base metal thickness in mils. Minimum base metal thickness represents 95% of the design thickness.
Note: For those sections where two different yield strengths (33 ksi and 50 ksi) are shown, the yield strength used in the design, if greater than 33 ksi, needs to be identified on the design and ordering of steel. (i.e., 600S162-54 {50ksi})

ANSI-approved American National Standards T
he Steel Framing Alliance is recommending that builders and code officials update to a new set of ANSI-approved American National Standards to take advantage of benefits from expanded and more cost efficient construction details now available in steel framing. The new Prescriptive Method for One and Two Family Dwellings and accompanying set of cold-formed steel framing standards have been released by the American Iron and Steel Institute. The standards provide the latest technology for designing, specifying, and constructing steel framed residential and light commercial buildings.
The standards include: Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing; General Provisions (GP 2001); Prescriptive Method for One and Two Family Dwellings (PM 2001); Standard for Truss Design (TRUSS 2001); and Standard for Header Design (HEADER 2001). "AISI used the latest cost-effective designs to generate the span tables and details, including L-Header technology that saves the builder 30 percent in framing labor," said Larry Williams, president of the Steel Framing Alliance. "The easy-to-use span tables enable builders to select the right size floor joist, wall stud, header, or roof regardless of the construction location." The standards were developed by the AISI Committee on Framing Standards, an ANSI-accredited, consensus standards body that develops, maintains, and improves AISI design and installation standards with the purpose of eliminating regulatory barriers and increasing the reliability and cost competitiveness of cold-formed steel framing. While past releases of the Prescriptive Method were limited by code approval and size restrictions, the new standards apply to footprints for houses up to 40 feet wide and have been adopted for the International Residential Code (2003) and the new NFPA Building Code (2003). The standards are approved "American National Standards" by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). ANSI is a private, non-profit organization that administers and coordinates the U.S. voluntary standardization and conformity assessment system for standards developers. Other benefits to builders include an expanded shearwall design approach — particularly for high wind and high seismic conditions, which greatly simplifies selection of shearwall material and specifies number of fasteners. A new definitions section has been added to familiarize first-time builders with steel framing terminology. "Whether you are a builder or a building code official, you need to obtain these standards and read them thoroughly to see where your responsibility lies within this changing industry," said Williams.
The National Steel Framing Alliance T
he Steel Framing Alliance (SFA) is an international organization leading the growing use of light gauge steel framing in commercial and residential construction through marketing and market development initiatives, research and testing programs, training and education, and the support of affiliated organizations within the steel and construction industries. The national alliance and its six local alliances (California, Hawaii Pacific, Southeast, Texas, Mid-Atlantic and Southwest), strengthened by close working relationships with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), the NAHB Research Center, PATH, HUD, and others, have made huge strides toward fully enabling the residential construction market for steel. Product standards, prescriptive building methods, adoption by the codes and training the code officials
have collectively leveled the playing field for steel. At the same time, innovative steel framing products and effective training programs have helped to make steel an economically viable option for today's homebuilders and homebuyers. The HSA works closely with the National Steel Framing Alliance to learn about market adaptations, and at the same time, communicate the national advancements made that help level everyone's playing field for steel.
