<p>An innovative steel-framing system and method of construction utilizing structural beams (100, 102, 104) having preformed rotating hole patterns (72) therein. The structural beams (100, 102, 104) can be coupled together at various angles by virtue of the rotating hole pattern (72). The entire framing system is constructed using the same gauge of steel-framing members (100, 102, 104) and without unique connectors. Furthermore, the preformed holes (76) in the structural members (100, 102, 104) allow the use of standard sharp-pointed screws (124a, 124b, 120a, 120b), rather than self-tapping screws which are more time-consuming and costly. The structural members are formed as C-channels and may be coupled together to form stronger members (178). In this manner, a relatively small inventory of steel members is used, greatly reducing mistakes in the framing process.</p> |
