Light-gauge metal stud framing for commercial interiors, exterior non-bearing walls, and load-bearing cold-formed steel structures.
Edge Enterprise LLC brings steel framing to Minot backed by 25+ years of framing experience and more than 1,000 multi-family units built across the Upper Midwest. Minot is a strong regional market in Ward County — big enough for steady multi-family and commercial work, small enough that reputation still travels fast between builders and inspectors.
Our Long Prairie, MN base puts Minot about 7 hr 15 min out. We plan mobilization, material staging, and crew rotations around that from day one. North Dakota builds run under the state-adopted IBC/IRC, with city building departments — and open-prairie wind exposure — driving the structural detailing. Typical design values for the Minot area — ground snow load around 35–50 psf, design wind speeds of 115–120 mph (open-prairie exposure), and frost depths near 60–80 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 Minot and across North Dakota.
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.
