Cost

As an investor in a building endeavour, it is important to determine the proper selection of your building materials to maximize your future return on investment. We have to look beyond today and plan on building for the future buyers of homes and office buildings if we want to maximize resale value. With the tremendous push towards “Green”, energyefficient, environmentally responsible building products, deciding to construct today with traditional building materials can be viewed as a step back. Traditional products are not competitive with future construction trends and will only limit resale value; much like the value today of a 1986 computer.

Ultra Frame has been developed to maximize both short and long-term returns.

Making Building Green Affordable

Building Envelope - A sealed thermal envelope building provides an investor many benefits making building green affordable. First, energy demands are 30-80% less, requiring less solar panel investment. Second, the buildings typically require 1/2 of the HVAC mechanical tonnage. Third, windows can be cost effective double pane low-e.

Jobsite Waste - Ultra Frame is custom prefabricated to engineered specifications. The benefit is little to no waste on site. Builders have safer jobsites, generally with no need for dumpsters during framing stage, and rapid construction with limited noise pollution. Ultra Frame will not warp, twist, or delaminate like other systems.

Rebates - Today, builders can qualify for up to a $1250 per unit rebate on their federal taxes, and home owners can qualify for over $500 rebate on their personal taxes by building with Ultra Frame and other Transcon Steel products.

Investments - Ultra Frame is one of the most cost effective building systems that actually compete in cost to conventional building approaches. Ultra Frame is 1/3th to 1/5th the cost of other comparable alternative building systems.

Insurance - Constructing projects in metal provides builders with discounts in Builder’s Risk insurance and workers compensation fees. Owners benefit with reduced permanent insurance rates that have annual increases less than traditional built structures.
