WE ARE A DIFFERENT KIND OF COMPANY. We are unique and so are our clients. Our collective experience in engineering, architecture, marketing, Ž LEED , BIM, manufacturing, and construction sets us apart. It drives everything we do. We engineer, manufacture, and install the best high performance and sustainable building solutions in the industry. WE ARE HIGH PERFORMANCE. Whether the project is big or small, simple or specialized, private or public, commercial or residential, our OSC (offsite construction) allows us to engineer and manufacture and wall and roof panels to the unique requirements of our clients and enable top speed installation. WE ARE SUSTAINABLE. Our building solutions are innovative and outperform. Engineered and installed to provide maximum performance, iFrames are manufactured from durable and recyclable materials resulting in environmentally responsible products and projects. WE ARE WALL AND ROOF SYSTEMS. We specialize in engineering, manufacturing and installing high performance and sustainable load bearing, infill and curtain wall systems; and truss bearing and long-span roof systems.
i-Frames™ are a combination of an expanded polystyrene (EPS) core and galvanized cold form rolled steel exoskeleton with minimal thermal bridging. They are prefabricated, cut to the specified lengths and widths required by each project. Wall and roof panels are available in thicknesses between 1 and 12 inches. Typical i-Frame panels are ≤ 48 inches wide by an unlimited height, with vertical and horizontal interlocking joints between each panel. i-Frames™ can be designed and installed in various wall and roof type configurations. i-Frame wall types include: curtain wall, infill wall and load bearing walls. i-Frame roof types include: roof over truss, roof over beam and roof with integral beams. i-Frame Building Solutions Production Facility Scottsdale, Arizona

LEED Credits
i-Frames™ reduce supply chain waste and are produced from recyclable and regional materials. Our panels are thermally efficient, resource efficient, and provide atmosphere and water protection. The LEED® green building certification program is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of green buildings. i-Frames contribute toward satisfying credits under LEED performance credit categories: Energy and Atmosphere; Material and Resources; Indoor Environmental Quality; and Innovation in Design. Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Panels Atmosphere and Water Protection EPS does not contain CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs or formaldehyde. EPS is inert, stable and does not produce methane gas or contaminating leachates. Resource Efficient EPS manufacturing uses little energy. The steam component of the manufacturing process is collected and re-used in the process. Only 0.1% of total oil consumption is used to manufacture EPS. Recycled Materials Scrap EPS generated during manufacturing or from jobsite waste can be ground and incorporated into new EPS products. EPS is easily recyclable and can be turned into new expanded polystyrene products or thermally processed into a resin to make other products. Thermal Efficiency EPS has higher, more stable long term R-Values than other insulation alternatives creating energy savings for building users.
Steel Studs, Track and Components Thermal Efficiency Staggered stud design with thermal breaks produces higher, more stable long term R-Values than standard metal stud construction creating energy savings for building users. Recycled Content Steel studs, track and components used in IBS building solutions contain up to 67% recycled material. Regional Materials Steel studs, track and components used in i-Frame panels are produced and shipped to IBS from local suppliers within 500 miles of the IBS manufacturing plant.
