steel joists

qualityjob | Posted in General Discussion on

looking for an alternative to LVL joists that have mechanical holes, we cannot use TJI or trusses without sprinklers.

Just quoted metal joists, they came in 4x LVL, anyone have experience with this because I won’t bother to requote them elsewhere if that is a real number… but at that price who would ever use them!

    I dont have any recommendations but dont give u on steel just because of current high prices. It might be a temporarily inlfated price due to steel comodity pricing. Steel is up over 100% year over year
