DDI Steel Structures provides the primary light-gauge steel framing components needed to construct the building model you select. Depending on the design, this may include wall panels, roof trusses, floor trusses, clips, framing angles, and the necessary fasteners.
The final cost of a completed DDI Building can vary considerably depending on the size, design, and materials selected for your project. Finishing choices such as siding, roofing, windows, doors, insulation, flooring, and interior finishes can all affect the overall price.
Our photos are examples of completed buildings and are intended to show what is possible with a DDI building. Your package will depend on the model and specifications you choose. Structural components may include wall panels, roof trusses, floor trusses where applicable, framing angles, clips, and required fasteners. Exterior and interior finishes can then be selected according to your needs, style, and budget.
There isn't one standard price per square foot because every DDI building can be different. Size, layout, structural requirements, doors, windows, insulation, siding, roofing, flooring, and other finish materials can all affect the final cost. Tell us what you're planning to build, and we can help you determine the options and specifications that fit your project.
Yes. Many customers choose to handle the framing and assembly themselves. If you prefer to have the work done for you, you can also hire an experienced contractor or framing professional. The choice depends on your experience, project needs, and how involved you want to be in the build.
Yes. Your DDI Building package includes the architectural and structural plans needed to help guide the construction process. Assembly information and instructional materials are also provided to help you understand how the building components come together.
Foundation requirements and plans are provided for DDI Building projects where applicable. Foundation designs are prepared according to the building specifications and may need to be reviewed, approved, or stamped by a professional engineer licensed in your state before construction.
DDI Buildings are designed and engineered with applicable building requirements in mind. However, building codes and permitting requirements can vary between states, counties, and municipalities. Your local building department may require additional engineering, documentation, or site-specific modifications before approving your project.
In most cases, DDI Building designs use standard rough opening dimensions that accommodate commonly available windows and doors. This helps make it easier to source standard products without requiring specially manufactured sizes. Your specific building design and selected openings will determine which standard sizes are appropriate.
