No extensive framing knowledge is necessary. Each assembly is simply fastened together with self drilling screws for a frame that is stronger, more durable and safer than wood framed structures. Labor in the field is cut in half, while the cost is comparable to or lower than lumber. Unlike other steel framing systems that simply replace wood studs for steel studs (requiring the builder to frame the home piece by piece) Rhino homes are already engineered with window and door openings pre-assembled…and only go together one way–the right way.”
