Fortitude Frames Consulting
Changing small business with simple solutions.
Helping steel framing manufacturers and small businesses improve factory cadence — practical advice from 30+ years on the tools, plus the Kimden Staxezy™ for smarter truck-load planning.
About Dennis Sutton
Simple solutions, backed by 30 years on the tools.
Dennis Sutton is a licensed builder with 30+ years in steel frame manufacturing — he built Fortitude Frames to $3M+ and sold it profitably, and led a steel frame division to a full turnaround in his first year.
Today he's focused on two simple wins for builders and factories: the Kimden Staxezy™ for planning truck loads in 3D before they leave the factory, and replacing piles of factory paperwork with smart, visible monday.com systems.

Fortitude Frames, Tocumwal
The factory I built, ran, and sold. 30+ years building precision steel frames and trusses in Tocumwal taught me what works on the shop floor — and what slows a factory down. That hands-on experience is what I bring to every consulting engagement now.
Featured Software
The Kimden Staxezy™

- Stack the whole load in 3DSee exactly how frames and trusses fit on the truck before anyone lifts a thing.
- Fewer reloads and less damageValidate against truck dimensions and pack in the right sequence, first time.
- Prints & monday.com syncBranded delivery sheets for the yard, and Monday board sync to keep the office in the loop.
