Typically, construction of metal buildings as required by wall Inside flange brace as

Note, however, that this sequence may need to required (typ.)
be modified to meet the needs of a particular
project. For example, this construction sequence
changes when loadbearing end walls are used.
In this case, the steel supported by the masonry
is erected after the masonry wall is in place.
