Benefits
Buildability: The use of pre-fabricated and pre assembled steel components reduces site works,
reduces material waste and improves quality.
Speed: This system requires a shorter construction period compared to that for a
conventional system.
Strong but Lightweight: Steel has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any
construction material. This results in savings in the foundation required and the lightness also makes
for easier on-site handling.
Safety: Steel’s inherent strength and non combustible qualities enable light steel frame
houses to resist such devastating events as fires, earthquakes, and hurricanes. Homes can be
designed to meet the highest seismic and wind load specifications in any part of the country.
Quality: A better quality finished house that is durable and low in maintenance.
Easy to Remodel: Remodeling can be easily accomplished. Non-load bearing
walls can be readily relocated, removed or altered.
Design Flexibility: Because of its strength, steel can span longer lengths,
offering larger open spaces and increased design flexibility without requiring
intermediate columns or load bearing walls.
Recyclable: All steel products are recyclable.
