What happens when high-performance building goals run headlong into a real-world budget?

That’s the question our last steel framing session left unanswered — and the response from members was loud and clear: we need to go deeper.

So we did.

Bernie Kern (BB Kern Designs) and Erik Scheuermann (Archetype Homes) are back today for a follow-up roundtable — and this time, we’re skipping the overview and going straight to the hard stuff: cost vs. resilience, real project case studies, and the technical questions from last session that didn’t get answered.

This isn’t a lecture, it’s a working session. Seats are intentionally limited so every voice in the room gets heard.

Here’s what’s on the table:

• Deep-Dive Q&A — The technical questions from last time, finally answered
• Case Study Comparisons — How steel actually performs against traditional framing across different climates
• Peer Review — Bring your own project challenges; we’ll brainstorm solutions together

If you’ve ever wondered whether steel framing is worth the tradeoffs — or you’re already spec’ing it and hitting friction — this is the session you don’t want to miss.
