Elevate Structures

Elevate Structures, a Central States company - one of the nation’s leading 100% employee-owned companies -  is a dedicated nationwide team of construction experts who specialize in the design, manufacture, supply, and installation of complete metal building packages serving commercial real estate construction.

We’ve been dubbed a “super-sub contractor” by developers, architects, general contractors, and engineers because our products and customer service are unlike that of any other primary framing subcontractor you’ll work with.

Our vertical integration with Central States means we own the entire procurement, manufacturing, and supply chain process—from mill to jobsite.

This allows our partners to benefit from even greater quality control, shorter lead times, and more dependable project delivery, all powered by 1,400 dedicated employee-owners committed to customer success. With decades of experience and over 1,500 completed projects across the United States, we deliver industry-leading solutions and services for everything from self-storage facilities and midrise multifamily communities to hotels, campus housing, and educational buildings. Our innovative, fast, nationally scalable Alpha Framing System is a modular light-gauge, cold-formed steel (CFS) framing system designed to install like a prefabricated CFS post and composite beam system and has delivered proven, repeatable results in diverse climates, spaces, and market conditions.

When you work with us, you’re matched with a dedicated regional team that stays with your account through every build. Your regional team has expertise in your region’s geography, climate, building codes, permitting landscape and develops a deep understanding of your preferences, specs, and goals, which translates to smoother builds, better communication, and faster results. Through our people, products, and processes, we deliver on our mission to be on-site and on schedule, all the time.

Alpha Framing System

The Alpha Framing System is a high-performance framing solution designed to withstand wind, shear and gravity loads. Made up of pre-assembled light gauge columns and beams, this system offers a cleaner, faster and stronger alternative to traditional framing methods. Additionally, the construction sequence is altered so that partition panels can be installed after the roof, saving up to two months in construction time and preventing concrete stains on partition panels. With the Alpha Framing System, other trades can begin work sooner, resulting in a more efficient construction process.
