The Spectrus Group is the industry leader for the development and production of the Special Truss Moment Frame system called Tru-Frame(R). Our Engineers pioneered the commercial implementation of this new "lateral steel frame" building system that came from an extensive, multiple-year study at the University of Michigan. We provide the engineering community with design information that will allow them to evaluate the viability to utilizing this cost effective method of steel framing.
We also provide competitive sourcing for the production, delivery and erection of the Tru-Frame(R) system. No cumbersome diagonal bracing through exterior windows or hindering interior flexibility.

One of the most exciting aspects of this system is the dramatic cost savings to material, shop fabrication and erection.
On the material side, we are utilizing the fact that an open web steel joist typically weighs about 20% less than a wideflange beam capable of carrying the same gravity loads.
In addition to the weight savings is the fact that fabrication costs for open web framing are about 20% less than fabrication cost of wideflange beams.
The combination of less weight per square foot of building area and less cost per pound can produce overall savings of the material by as much as 30%.

The Tru-Frame(R) system has been used extensively across a wide variety of applications, from office and mixed-use structures to million-sq.
Tru-Frame(R) was utilized to eliminate diagonal bracing or shear walls in the warehouse area to provide more flexibility for storage racks and forklift access.
We also provided a design for a two-story floor truss to eliminate a column in the "driveway" of the warehouse traffic lane.
We were faced with the monumental task of taking a 16-week delivery schedule and 14 week erection schedule down to only 6 weeks for steel on site and 3 weeks for erection, in order to make opening day.

Thank you for considering the Tru-Frame(R) system for your project.
At The Spectrus Group we believe that the Tru-Frame(R) system is the most economical and efficient choice when selecting a steel frame lateral force-resisting system.
This innovative system based on the Special Truss Moment Frame concept provides many benefits, which include decreasing construction costs and increasing the speed at which a project is erected while at the same time providing a predictable high level of performance.
