Light Gauge Steel
Precise LGS Detailing for the Modern World.
Accelerating construction across the USA, Canada, and Australia with high-fidelity BIM modeling, shop drawings, and direct-to-machine CNC outputs.
The Structural Efficiency Engine
Light Gauge Steel (LGS) is transforming the construction landscape. Compare the metrics below to understand why developers in the US, Australia, and Canada are shifting to LGS, and how Consac's detailing maximizes these benefits.

From Concept to Machine-Ready Code
A rigorously defined 5-stage workflow ensures zero errors on site. Click each step to understand our QA/QC protocols.
Input Analysis & RFI Generation
We begin by meticulously reviewing architectural and structural contract drawings. Our team identifies conflicts immediately, generating detailed RFIs (Requests for Information) to resolve design ambiguities before a single beam is modeled.

- Load Path Verification
- Conflict Detection (MEP vs Structural)
Comprehensive Deliverables
We don't just draw lines; we build virtual replicas of your project. Our outputs are tailored for roll-formers like Howick, FRAMECAD, and Scottsdale.

Serving the World
Our team is versed in international building codes. Select a region to see our specific compliance capabilities.
USA & Canada Standards
We strictly adhere to AISI S100 (North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members). For Canada, we follow CSA S136. Our team is experienced with Imperial units, US customary stud sizes (3-5/8, 600S162, etc.), and local building codes across California, Texas, Florida, and New York.
Australia & New Zealand
Consac is deeply integrated into the Australasian market. We design to AS/NZS 4600:2018 (Cold-formed steel structures). We understand the nuances of local wind ratings (N/C classifications) and metric profiles common in NSW, Victoria, and Queensland.
International Projects
For projects in the UK, Europe, or Middle East, we adapt to Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-1-3). Our flexible software stack allows us to define custom steel grades and profile geometries to match local manufacturing capabilities anywhere in the world.
Hybrid Team Efficiency
By leveraging a massive US-India hybrid team, we offer a "Follow the Sun" workflow. While you sleep, we detail. This results in 50% faster turnaround times without sacrificing the stringent quality controls of US engineering standards.
