Why FrameUpNow Exists

FrameUpNow brings disruptive technology to residential construction by applying International Building Code (IBC) engineering, BIM-derived material quantities, and a rule-based automated design system to produce precision-engineered steel home frames with known material costs before construction begins. Using AI-assisted specifications and algorithmic automation, the system rapidly generates engineered plan sets, structural calculations, and detailed material shopping lists—delivering speed, repeatability, compliance, and budget clarity for affordable housing projects.
