Steel joists
Joists belong in the same package as the steel they bear on. We furnish them and keep them on the same schedule as the frame, the deck and the erection.
Joists on the same schedule as the frame.
Steel joists carry the roofs and floors of many commercial and industrial buildings. They have to land on beams and girders that are detailed, fabricated and set on time, and the deck follows right behind them.
GIW includes steel joists in our Division 5 scope along with the structural steel, deck and erection. With all of it on one contract, the joists and the frame that supports them trace back to one company and one schedule.
Our erection and decking subcontractors work on our project team, so the joists go up with the rest of the frame.
