Wheelforge
Build a smarter built world
The AI platform for residential steel

Build in steel. Dependably.

Wheelforge turns decades of residential-steel know-how into a repeatable process from quote to delivery.

Why now

A changing climate is
changing how we build.

Fire risk, insurance pressure and demand for more resilient construction are increasing interest in steel. Wheelforge makes it more practical to deliver custom steel projects at scale.
Resilient

Noncombustible framing for a more climate-exposed built environment.

Durable

Steel does not shrink, twist or warp like conventional wood framing.

Custom

Support distinctive architecture without forcing the project into a standardized factory system.

Scalable

Apply proven steel expertise consistently across projects.

Design freedom

Bespoke design.
Repeatable process.

Custom architecture.
Repeatable steel delivery.

Complex geometry. Distinctive homes. One more dependable way to deliver them in steel.

How it works

From quote to field-ready steel.

  1. 01 / Evaluate + quote
    Assess the project, define scope and provide pricing.
  2. 02 / Coordinate to the approved design
    Reconcile architectural and project information to the engineer-stamped structural design before the steel package moves forward.
  3. 03 / Detail + takeoff
    Translate the approved design into framing requirements and material quantities.
  4. 04 / Order + track
    Order steel and components and track procurement status.
  5. 05 / Prepare
    Prepare, identify and sequence components for easier field assembly.
  6. 06 / Delivery
    Receive the prepared package onsite, with clear identification, sequencing and practical assembly guidance.
  7. 07 / Change orders
    Incorporate approved design changes as the project evolves. Approved design changes can be incorporated without forcing the project back through a fixed production workflow.

Flexibility built into the build process.

The Wheeler approach

Steel know-how, made repeatable.

The Wheeler approach connects approved design, material planning, component preparation and field delivery into a repeatable way to execute custom residential steel.

Design to steel

Turn the engineer-stamped design into a practical steel framing package.

Coordination + constructability

Surface issues early so they can be resolved before they become field problems.

Field-ready package

Prepare, identify and sequence components so crews know what goes where.

Assembly guidance

Practical guidance that reduces field guesswork and helps crews assemble more efficiently.

Why AI

Scale the expertise.
Keep the judgment.

AI helps Wheelforge organize project information, surface what needs attention and apply proven residential-steel expertise consistently across projects.

Understand

Bring architectural, structural and project information together.

Surface

Flag missing information, coordination issues and items requiring review.

Apply

Apply proven steel methods and project knowledge consistently.

Learn

Carry validated project decisions forward.

Project information
Steel intelligence
Project team review
Approved execution

Wheelforge supports coordination and execution; it does not replace the architect or engineer-of-record.

From intelligence to the jobsite

The output is something buildable.

Wheelforge turns the approved design into an ordered, prepared and sequenced residential-steel framing package.

Built for the crew that has to put it together.

Early partner program

Help shape Wheelforge through real projects.

We're working with selected builders and developers on live residential steel projects to refine the platform against real project conditions.

Selected projects may be invited to participate as early partners.
