Exterior walls for non-combustible buildings often make use of cold-formed steel framing. Evolution designs wall studs, opening framing, soffits, cornices, canopy supports, and other elements needed to produce a fully engineered building envelope. Many one-story buildings consist of cold-formed steel load-bearing walls supporting roof trusses or rafters.

Structural Evolution designs wall studs, opening framing and shear walls made from either flat strap x-bracing or structural board. Cold-formed steel framing is often used to support floors or to frame roofs with attic spaces. Evolution provides engineered framing drawings including placement plans, member bracing, opening framing and connection details.

Some buildings such as factories and theaters include very tall interior walls or other large interior features. Sometimes the architect for a project may require that all framing be engineered. Structural Evolution can provide framing drawings for interior walls, wall openings, shaft wall, soffits, suspended ceilings, and other features requiring engineering.

Lateral stability was provided using light framed shear walls.
Structural Evolution was responsible for designing all framing and details for the building.
One significant design challenge was that space allowed for shear walls was limited.
Most walls had numerous window openings.
Structural Evolution used innovative 'Woven X-Brace Shear Walls' to support large lateral loads within short sections of wall.
By allowing up to three x-braces to be located in the same space, the Woven X-Brace Shear Wall is a terrific solution for providing high shear capacity within a limited length of wall.
