“On our recent project of a 1.3 million square
foot warehouse, utilizing QuickFrames
allowed us to exceed the initial schedule by 4
weeks. When you’re talking minutes as
opposed to hours to install a frame that has
adjustment capabilities if there is a problem,
[it] was an easy decision for us. We will never
go back to the old way.”](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/quickframespowerpoint-131105151847-phpapp02/85/Quick-Frames-20-320.jpg)
Quick Frames
- 4. Waiting for location & sizing Wrong locations & wrong size Re-work Difficult installations (welding/fire) Forgotten frames (roof drains, etc.) Expensive and takes too long Roof frames are a pain in the ___!
- 5. 2001: Jay Soyko creates a frame due to accident 2004: US Patent 2011: Soyko Industries LLC Jay Soyko & Friends Family of Inventors 2012: Reaches over 2,500 frames sold! 2013: Becoming the Industry Standard
- 7. RUT’S Sky lights Roof drains Exhaust fans Anything that needs sub-desk support
- 8. Commercial buildings Pre-engineered buildings New construction Tenant improvement Panelized wood roof system
- 9. Lower cost = lower bids & more savings Eliminates the need for detailing Avoids risk of fire in the roof or below Faster install time by 4.5 times Adjusts to site conditions Increased productivity – after the deck Reduce project delays No welding = no inspections & no skilled labor
- 10. Laboratory tested and approved for use by ◦ Phoenix National Laboratories ◦ Caruso Turley Scott Structural Engineers Engineering for nearly everywhere in US ◦ CTS will provide specific engineering as needed When specific engineering is required, QuickFrames will provide for order over three frames
- 11. 12 ga Frame x 48” 6’ – 6040 lbs. 8’ – 2760 lbs. 10’ – 2060 lbs. 16 ga Frame x 48” 6’ – 1588 lbs. 8’ – 740 lbs. 10’ – 200 lbs. *Weights based on equally distributed loading. Seismic Load Category B – Snow Load 20 PSF – Dead/Live Load 10 PSF/ 20 PSF (roof structure bearing on frame) Wind Load 90 mph, exposure C For Areas with code design greater than what our engineering states CTS can provide site specific design.

- 14. 500 Frames per Truckload
- 16. The only tool required is a ¾” wrench We recommend a cordless impact driver Typical install takes roughly 20-30 mins
- 17. Do you know the cost of a average welded roof frame? $500 - $1,500 depending on region QuickFrames is between $195 -$325 Skylights $130 - $185 No special inspections No welding / TI Pick-up the same day
- 19. Wrong Orientation ◦ 376 Skylights Missed Frames ◦ 80 Rood Drains/RTU’s Wrong Locations ◦ 20+ Cost Savings in Excess of $675,000

- 21. Nikki Wood, Project Estimator Bell Steel “The entire process with QuickFrames was smooth and easy. I called them and they immediately were on top of handling my order. They personally came to our location to get the information on what we needed, took the time to confirm the details were accurate, and got it ordered. The project went quickly and QuickFrames was able to accommodate everything we asked for, even up to last minute changes. By using QuickFrames, a ton of my shop time was freed up, and the end result looks great. The frames blend into the roof seamlessly and if I need to move them, I can do so in a snap. I will choose QuickFrames every time over traditional frames.”

Editor's Notes
- #4: Before we get started, let’s do a quick round of introductions. Can you tell us your name, role with ____________, and what your involvement with roof frames or roof openings is, if any. And on that note… it’s okay if there is anyone that is thinking, “what the heck is a roof frame!?!”. Rather than put anyone on the spot, can someone with _______________ offer a quick description of a roof frame so we’re all on the same page?
- #5: As we do these lunch & learns for GC’s, steel companies, structural engineers, and architects… these are some of the most common frustrations we hear about roof frames or roof openings. [Review list in PowerPoint]. Do any of these frustrations sound familiar? [Engage in dialog about how much roof frames are a pain in the ass and try to get horror stories from project managers]
