Light-gauge metal stud framing for commercial interiors, exterior non-bearing walls, and load-bearing cold-formed steel structures.
With roughly 34,464 residents, Helena anchors a healthy Lewis and Clark County construction market where the same GCs, lumberyards, and inspectors see every frame that goes up — and remember who built it well. Edge Enterprise LLC serves Helena with steel framing built on 25+ years of experience and a portfolio that includes some of the region's largest multi-family frames.
Helena sits roughly 17 hr 15 min from our Long Prairie HQ. For multi-week framing packages we stage crews locally, so drive time never becomes your schedule's problem. Montana projects run under the state-adopted IBC/IRC; in mountain-zone jurisdictions, site-specific snow loads and seismic detailing are a fact of life we build for. Typical design values for the Helena area — ground snow load around 50–100+ psf (site-specific in mountain zones), design wind speeds of 105–115 mph; seismic detailing applies in western MT, and frost depths near 48–72 in. — are baked into how we detail and build here; final values are always confirmed with the local building official.
Load-bearing CFS, curtain-wall infill, shaft walls, and ceiling framing — screwed, welded, or clipped per the engineer's details.
Demising walls, furring, soffits, and hard-lid ceilings for tenant improvements and new commercial construction.
Plenty of buildings mix wood and steel. Because we self-perform both, the interface details actually get built the way they were drawn.
Yes — Edge Enterprise self-performs light-gauge steel framing for commercial interiors, exterior infill walls, and load-bearing cold-formed steel projects in Helena and across Montana.
It depends on the building type, code requirements, and finish schedule. Steel wins for non-combustible construction and long interior runs; wood usually wins on cost for low-rise structures. Since we frame both, we'll give you an honest comparison rather than steering you to the only thing we sell.
Yes — shaft liner, area separation walls, and rated demising assemblies are part of nearly every commercial and multi-family steel package we frame.
Absolutely. We regularly contract the metal-stud scope alone — interiors, soffits, or exterior infill — working alongside the GC's other framing subs.
