In today’s fast-paced construction industry, not every company has the internal resources to manage steel framing design, detailing, and engineering in-house. Whether it’s due to staffing shortages, tight deadlines, or a need to focus on core operations, many fabricators and builders benefit from outsourcing this critical step in the construction process. That’s where Sysol Limited comes in as a highly skilled, dependable third-party provider of light-gauge steel design services and a trusted partner of Scottsdale Construction Systems.
When to Outsource Light-Gauge Steel Design
Scottsdale roll forming machines and software offer an end-to-end solution for creating light-gauge steel wall panels, roof and floor joists, and trusses. Our training team provides thorough, on-site instruction, covering our software, ScotSteel, ScotStruct, and ScotRF, ensuring our customers can design, simulate, layout, roll form, and engineer full light-gauge steel buildings. In ideal scenarios, we even work alongside customers on a small live project to reinforce hands-on training.
The reality is that some companies simply don’t have the time or personnel to dedicate to these processes. They might be too busy securing contracts, operating their steel framing roll forming facility, or they may have lost key team members. In such cases, outsourcing the design and engineering work to a third-party expert like Sysol Limited can be the most efficient path, whether short-term or long-term.

Project Highlight – Lynnet Road, NS, Canada
A Recent Scottsdale & Sysol Limited Steel Framing Collaboration
Lynnet Road, NS, Canada, is a recent example of a light-gauge steel residential building design completed in partnership between Scottsdale and Sysol Limited. It was produced, installed, and executed by our customer, Halifax Steel Framing Solutions, using Scottsdale roll forming machines. This large, four-story light-gauge steel apartment building sits atop a concrete basement and includes 40 apartment units, making this project an impressive 45,000+ square feet light-gauge steel residential development. The steel framing was fabricated using Scotpanel 5140 and Scotpanel 7090 roll forming machines. Due to the scale and complexity of the project, the customer chose Sysol Limited to handle the light-gauge steel framing design and engineering, allowing them to focus on the production, fabrication, and installation of the steel framing system.
This project shows several key features that highlight the advantages of modern steel construction. Designed as a multistory development with wide spans and affordable residential units, the project is optimized for cold-formed steel construction. By utilizing advanced light-gauge steel design, the structure incorporates efficient steel framing systems, including light-gauge steel wall panels and light-gauge steel trusses, all manufactured with precision using roll forming machines. The integration of roll forming steel framing not only enhances structural performance but also ensures faster, more cost-effective construction while maintaining long-term durability and design flexibility.
Product Highlight
Scotpanel Roll Forming Machines
Scotpanel roll forming machines, part of Scottsdale’s advanced steel framing ecosystem, are engineered to produce precision-engineered C‑section profiles for walls, roofs, ceilings, and support structures in low‑ to mid‑rise construction. The Scotpanel 5‑, 7‑, and 8‑Series machines handle light‑gauge steel from 0.55 mm to 1.6 mm thickness (24–16 gauge), with depths ranging from 63 mm to 140 mm. Equipped with powerful 7.5 kW drive systems, 14‑station roller sets, CNC control via proprietary ScotRF software, in‑feed coil thickness auto-adjustment, and heavy-duty decoilers supporting up to 6,500 lbs, these machines deliver efficiency and accuracy.
