NONCOMBUSTIBLES LLC | CONTRACT STEEL FRAMING PRODUCTION
Your Steel Framing Production Partner.
Your designs. Your customers. Our manufacturing capacity.
Project-specific cold-formed steel framing production for framing contractors, prefabricated building manufacturers, and companies looking for a dependable manufacturing partner. Based in Chico, California.
We manufacture the framing. You keep the customer, the installation, and the contract.
THE PRODUCTION BOTTLENECK
More framing to deliver than capacity to produce it?
Most framing operations hit the same wall: work is there, but production capacity, crew time or equipment is not. A contract manufacturing partner gives you another option.
- 01
Field cutting eats crew hours
Members arriving cut-to-length and organized by package can reduce the measuring, cutting and sorting that otherwise happens on site, where the project allows.
- 02
A second machine is a big commitment
Before buying, staffing and maintaining another roll former, it may make sense to put existing production capacity to work instead.
- 03
Backlogs don't wait for your schedule
Use us to supplement your own capacity during surges, cover overflow work, or act as a backup when your line is down.
Every project is different. We'll review whether outsourced production makes sense for your work; we don't promise savings before we understand the job.
PRODUCTION CAPABILITIES
What comes off our line.
We run a Knudson 1622 roll former in Chico, California, producing cold-formed steel framing for real building projects. Here is what we can talk through with you.
- Project-specific structural CFS studs and track
- Cold-formed steel framing members produced to the requirements of your project, not pulled from a generic stock list.
- Cut-to-length framing components
- Members produced to the lengths your package calls for, so less cutting has to happen in the field.
- Organized production packages
- Framing grouped and staged in a way that makes sense for your crew, your panel line or your assembly process, as agreed.
- Punching and marking, where agreed
- Punching, marking and other member preparation are available only where they're supported by our line and confirmed during project review.
Profiles, gauges and files: let's review them together.
Which profiles, gauges and member preparation fit your project, and whether your drawings or production files are ready to run, are confirmed directly with Vern Sneed during project review. We don't promise custom profiles, speeds, turnaround or pricing before we've seen the work.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Built for companies that already sell the building.
- Commercial and structural framing subcontractors
- Prefabricated and modular building manufacturers
- Shed and specialty building companies
- ADU and building-system firms
- Panelizers
- Manufacturers needing overflow capacity
- Self-storage framing, where the project is compatible with our production
Self-storage: we produce framing components where compatible, not complete proprietary storage systems.
HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
Arrangements that fit your workload.
Project-based production
A defined framing scope for a specific job, reviewed and quoted on its own.
Repeat component runs
Recurring members or packages you need on a regular basis.
Overflow or backup capacity
Extra production when your own line is full, down or stretched thin.
Material-supplied (toll) manufacturing
Possibly available for discussion. Whether it can work for your project is subject to confirmation by Vern.
THE PROCESS
Four steps from conversation to production.
- 01
Tell us what you make
Talk through the buildings you produce, the framing you need and where your production is getting stuck.
- 02
Review specs and fit with Vern
Vern Sneed reviews your specifications, profiles and files to see whether the work fits our line.
- 03
Agree on scope, quote and schedule
We confirm exactly what we'll produce, what it costs and when it runs.
- 04
We manufacture and coordinate
Your framing is produced in Chico, with pickup or delivery coordinated as agreed.
