US LGS Steel Column Engineering

I’m finalising the structural package for a brand-new, single-family home that will be framed entirely in cold-formed steel. The walls, trusses, and floor joists are already modelled; what remains is a clean, code-compliant solution for the vertical steel columns that tie this light-gauge system together and keep the overall build cost-effective. Here’s what I need from you: • Size and locate the steel columns so they work seamlessly with my existing CFS walls and truss layout. • Provide connection details (base plates, cap plates, screw/bolt patterns, welds where required) that respect typical residential fabrication tolerances. • Run full calculations to AISI S100, IBC/IRC 2021, and relevant ASTM specs, supplying sealed PDFs if you hold a U.S. licence. • Issue concise shop/erection drawings in PDF and DWG that my fabricator and site crew can follow without second-guessing. I already have floor plans, wall stud layouts, and truss reactions in CAD/Revit format, so you can plug straight in and work quickly in RISA, RAM Elements, or your preferred CFS design software. Acceptance criteria: the column schedule and details must pass review by my local building department on the first submittal, keep member weights economical, and align perfectly with the bearing points I provide. If this sounds like your wheelhouse and you have demonstrable light-gauge residential experience in the U.S., let’s get started.
