Method Building systems
A premier metal fabrication service provider, specializing in stairs, balconies, and integrated industrialized construction design and delivery, offering customized, high-quality solutions that seamlessly combine functionality and aesthetic appeal.
About Method building systems
Our goal is to streamline ubiquitous building systems, making them quick to design, efficient to fabricate and install, and easily integrated with other building components. We are dedicated to developing systems that bring value to building occupants and the environment, all while maintaining a commitment to continuous improvement.
Modern Construction Begins with a Method
Systems Based Approach
Our approach is inspired by software development principles, focusing on modularity and well-defined interfaces. It allows us to:
- Request precise design data upfront for configuring and detailing the building system.
- Automate system configuration using custom software, enabling infinite product configurability while maintaining standardized components and processes.
- Unify top-level data with all derived data, ensuring seamless integration throughout the entire system. This eliminates interpretation errors and streamlines digital fabrication and CNC processes.
- Enable dynamic data filtering and presentation - providing users with relevant information on-demand, minimizing interpretation errors, and reducing reliance on traditional shop drawings.
Through this systems-based approach, we enhance efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration across the entire product development and manufacturing cycle.
The Method Stair System
We specialize in designing high-quality stair systems that combine form and function. With a focus on installation efficiency, utility, durability, and visual appeal, our innovative designs are tailored to meet the project’s needs. From concept to implementation, our collaborative approach ensures seamless coordination.
The Method Balcony System
The only commercially available balcony system that seamlessly unites the building structure with the balcony system for all building types.

A brief history
Our Founders
Aaron Rutledge
Aaron is a leader and entrepreneur with extensive experience in the technology and manufacturing industries. He has a proven track record of introducing innovative products and driving transformative change.
As the former CEO of CorTek, Inc., Aaron played a crucial role in successfully launching the CorTek Core, now marketed as RediCor by Nucor, Inc. This product revolutionized the construction of stair and elevator cores by replacing on-site construction with high-quality, off-site produced stackable modules.
After CorTek, Aaron joined IHS Markit as a technical lead, where he developed cutting-edge banking applications using advanced web development technologies.
In 2018, Aaron founded VIFAB, Ltd. to streamline the design, fabrication, and installation processes of building systems. VIFAB combined vetted designs with software automation to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
Passionate about improving efficiences, building technology, and advancing construction practices, Aaron actively contributes to the progression and improvement of Method Building Systems. He continues to seek advancements in manufacturing, web development, and automation, leveraging technology to solve complex problems and make the industry more efficient.
