Steel framing in Georgia
Georgia covers the Atlanta metro, rural farm country, the north Georgia mountains and the coast around Savannah. Each one brings different site conditions and different local permit offices.
General notes
What to think about in Georgia
- 01Atlanta metro
- The metro area is made up of many cities and counties, each with its own permit office and review process. Check with the office for your exact address.
- 02Coast
- The coast around Savannah and Brunswick sees tropical storms and salt air. Wind and exposure are part of the manufacturer's design, and coating weight is worth asking about.
- 03North Georgia mountains
- Higher elevations can bring snow and steep, wooded lots. Roof trusses are designed for the loads at your site.
- 04Heat, humidity and termites
- A long warm season and subterranean termites are concerns for wood framing across much of the state. Steel is not food for termites and does not rot.
Confirm code, load and permit requirements with your local building department and the engineer of record. We do not state design wind speeds, snow loads or code sections for any site.
