Steel Frame

Precision starts with the structure.

A lightweight steel structure, developed as part of a complete design for your home.

A structure planned before assembly

The system uses lightweight, cold-formed steel sections. Panel arrangement, spans, bracing and connections are defined in the structural design to suit the building.

Connections, floors and roofing

Connections between sections, panels and foundations must transfer the loads anticipated by the design. Intermediate floors and roof structures also need specific sizing and detailing.

  • Coordination of structure and architecture.
  • Coordination of service routes.
  • Specification of fasteners and component protection.
  • Checks at foundation, floor and roof interfaces.

Engineering before promises

The suitability of the system depends on design, environmental exposure, available materials and workmanship. Costs, schedules and performance need to be assessed for each case.
