About APB
Framing homes in steel, from Van Nuys
APB Inc. is a California-licensed light-gauge steel (LGS) framing contractor in Los Angeles. We convert wood-frame home plans to steel and build them — for wildfire rebuilds and custom homes across Southern California.
What we focus on
Light-gauge steel, for homes
Our work is light-gauge (cold-formed) steel framing for homes in Southern California: custom homes and wildfire rebuilds, with homeowners rebuilding in Pacific Palisades and Altadena in mind. We also take on select commercial and tenant-improvement framing.
We supply and install the complete structural package in steel: walls, floors and roof, built from engineered plans and handed off straight and square to the trades that follow.

How we work
Three things we don't compromise on
Your design stays
Most homeowners already have plans drawn for wood. We convert the frame to steel with a California-licensed engineer and build it. You keep your architect.
Engineered, every time
Every load-bearing steel frame is designed and stamped by a California-licensed engineer. We build from that package, not from a catalog.
Honest about steel
We explain what steel does and what it doesn't: fire, energy code, cost drivers and the trades that follow. No prices before we see your plans.
