When the Bracing Looks Different, Crews Pay Attention "We came into the project expecting another typical bracing day, but DonoBrace looked different right out of the crate."

Project Overview In 2025, Big D Builders began work on a new retail facility in Jerome, Idaho, incorporating DonoBrace; the latest in innovative bracing systems. During this project, DonoBrace delivered significant time savings and enhanced safety standards through reduced bracing requirements. The retail facility required an efficient structural solution that wouldn't compromise the project timeline. The innovative bracing system dramatically reduced braced bay requirements from five to just two while delivering 30-40% faster installation times compared to conventional angle bracing. Most importantly, the system enhanced both crew safety and operational efficiency by minimizing time spent at elevation, earning strong approval from field personnel. Big D Builders Lead Foreman, Caleb Durant, summarizes the impact of DonoBrace on the D&B Jerome project: "For the overall project, it was much faster to install, and my guys were in the air for less time. Once they got the hang of it, it was easier to work with than other systems like cable."

Project Overview Verslues Construction, under the leadership of Vice President Frank Verslues, recently began a project for Pleus Cabinets, a metal building designed with DonoBrace; the innovative bracing system simplifies metal building construction. The project provided valuable insights into how this next generation bracing technology performs in practical field conditions, revealing significant advantages that could shape the future of metal building construction standards.

In August 2025, Keen Construction started work on a new storage facility for Beck's (Retail Seed Company). This project located in New Madrid, Southeastern Missouri incorporates DonoBrace; the latest in innovative bracing systems, delivering significant time savings and enhanced safety standards in a seismic location.

Donovan Group and Canadian Metal Buildings (CMB) partner to build state-of-the-art hangars at Brampton-Caledon Airport and a new manufacturing facility for LP Custom Machining in Ontario Press Release (May 2025)

In March 2025, DonoBrace was utilized by J&M Steel in the QES-A project in West Jordan, Utah - a 150,000 sq ft manufacturing plant designed for the production of mobile data centers for remote areas. This project showcased the innovative design, efficiency, and technical advantages of DonoBrace.

DonoBrace has been adopted by Canadian Metal Buildings (CMB) as a bracing standard in their business. As an industry leader in custom steel buildings, CMB prioritizes innovation by integrating cutting-edge products that accelerate construction timelines while enhancing efficiency for their customers.

At DonoBrace, we strive to revolutionize the metal building industry with our innovative bracing system. DonoBrace is a lightweight, high-capacity bracing system that has been transformative for the on-site installers across Australasia, and now, North America.

Bracing is a small but crucial aspect of the design and build process that is often overlooked.
