Partnership Announcement with Donovan Group


Canadian Metal Buildings (CMB) proudly announces a partnership with Donovan Group to integrate the DonoBrace bracing system as the standard solution for all CMB steel building projects. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of our construction processes.


The Benefits of DonoBrace


DonoBrace is a patented, tension-only bracing system designed to simplify the design, engineering, and installation phases of construction. It delivers exceptional performance, characterized by its high capacity, fast installation, and standardized stock components that eliminate the need for custom rod lengths. This innovation helps construction crews stay on schedule and significantly reduces the likelihood of rework.


CMB selected DonoBrace for its practical advantages on the job site. Builders appreciate features such as prefabrication flexibility, whether offsite or onsite, and independent testing that ensures reliability. Furthermore, the system includes a straightforward onsite QA inspection and sign-off process. Key product features, including machined nuts and couplers and inspection holes in the couplers, support consistent assembly and verification in the field.


Enhancing the Installation Experience


“We are always looking for practical innovation that improves the install experience. DonoBrace delivers a clean, repeatable bracing system with standardized components that help crews stay efficient and reduce rework. It is a smart upgrade for the way our buildings go together,” stated Lucas Bruzzese, COO, CMB. This partnership strengthens CMB’s commitment to delivering steel building systems that are engineered for performance and designed for efficient assembly on site.
