The commissioning of the Scotpanel 7090G2 roll forming machine marks an important step forward for Overman Metal Buildings, where light-gauge steel now becomes the foundation for future projects built through advanced roll forming technology. With training completed and production underway, the team is embracing new methods that support efficient and scalable steel framing fabrication, giving builders access to reliable components for homes, barn-style structures, and dwellings. As demand grows, roll forming allows Overman to produce steel framing members with speed and repeatability, helping them expand into modern housing solutions that perform exceptionally well in high-wind regions. This shift toward light-gauge steel framing aligns with their commitment to American manufacturing, workforce development, and high-tech construction. The combination of roll forming machines, skilled local labor, and durable materials positions Overman Metal Buildings to serve communities with stronger, longer-lasting structures made from precision-formed light-gauge steel using state-of-the-art roll forming technology.

Scottsdale, Overman, and the Future of Light-Gauge Steel

Scottsdale Construction Systems proudly welcomes Overman Metal Buildings as one of our newest customers, bringing light-gauge steel production in-house through advanced roll forming equipment and training. This partnership strengthens a commitment shared by both teams, creating durable structures using light-gauge steel and supporting builders who value quality, speed, and reliability. As Overman expands its manufacturing capability, light-gauge steel becomes the backbone of its residential kits, agricultural structures, and barndominium-style projects. The material’s strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and longevity make light-gauge steel ideal for homes in regions affected by harsh winds and storms.

Commissioning of Roll Forming Machines

The installation and training of the Scotpanel 7090G2 demonstrates how modern roll forming machines enable steel framing manufacturers to scale rapidly. A group of Overman’s shop crew trained onsite, learning setup, software workflow, and the complete production process associated with roll forming machines. With knowledge now in hand, the crew is ready to begin steel framing fabrication that supports a wide range of structures, from ADUs and cottages to farm buildings and full turnkey house packages. These roll forming machines give Overman the freedom to produce steel framing components with minimal waste, controlled tolerances, and repeatable speed on every run.

As more builders adopt roll forming machines, the ability to localize production shifts powerfully back into American communities. Overman Metal Buildings is an example of this shift, investing in equipment that allows them to manufacture domestically, grow regionally, and further strengthen their supply network.

Light-Gauge Steel Framing for American-Made Housing

With the Scotpanel roll forming system online, Overman is positioned to manufacture light-gauge steel framing for its “American Made House Kits” program, supporting homeowners, DIY builders, and contractors across state lines. Light-gauge steel framing benefits regions like Tornado Alley, where uplift resistance, strong-wind durability, and structural consistency matter most. Beyond performance, light-gauge steel framing accelerates assembly time; parts are dimensionally accurate, labeled, and ready to install. For Overman’s team, light-gauge steel framing aligns with their long-held values: durability, labor, and solutions built to last.

As production expands, Overman will offer steel truss manufacturing, pre-assembled framing packages, and complete home systems. The pathway is clear; light-gauge steel framing will allow them to deliver buildings that ship efficiently, assemble quickly, and perform exceptionally for decades.

Advancing Steel Framing Fabrication with Scottsdale Technology

The Scotpanel 7090G2 is built for high-efficiency steel framing fabrication, supporting accurate cut-to-length sequencing, web punching, inkjet labeling, and automated tooling adjustments. This means Overman can take a digital model and produce real components through seamless steel framing fabrication. With trained operators and a robust production environment, steel framing fabrication becomes not only scalable but profitable. Their crew picked up the operation quickly, proof that steel framing fabrication can be mastered by motivated teams who value precision and craftsmanship. As demand grows, in-house steel framing fabrication will fuel Overman’s expansion and future divisions.

Built on Experience and Strengthened by Roll Forming

Founder Chad Overman’s story is one of service, effort, and resilience, qualities mirrored in both construction and roll forming-based manufacturing. Since building his first portable structure in 1999, his company has grown across state borders, diversified its products, and embraced innovation. The adoption of roll forming allows Overman to produce steel framing for modular builds, sheds, garages, and American-made home kits with consistency and speed. As demand for metal construction rises, roll forming ensures they can respond quickly without outsourcing.

By expanding into steel truss production, Overman will bring even greater value to its customers. The combination of roll forming and automated design software creates a streamlined workflow, from design, fabrication, assembly, and delivery.
