Most people in house framing fabrication and the construction industry in general are self-starting types who want to get on with the job and take pride in solving problems. They know that knowledge is power.
And as more businesses enter the light gauge steel fabrication market, they not only need the best roll forming machines, software, support and business planning, but also be able to tap into an effective source of knowledge to quickly answer questions, solve problems and power on.
That’s why the team at Scottsdale has developed a new online Knowledge Base.
For those in the steel framing business who use the Scottsdale ecosystem, the Knowledge Base has all there is to know about Scottsdale products and services, with two simple ways to find what you need.
Easy to find help on steel framing and fabrication
The Knowledge Base is broken up into categories making it simple to find what you’re looking for very quickly. Each category has sub-menus with links to articles, PDF manuals, training videos and even design files and photographs.
