As the urban jungle expands its horizons and grows both horizontally and vertically, there is a big need to find better and more sustainable solutions for construction. The most viable of these is Light Gauge Steel which is being heralded as the material to look forward to as the construction material we need to turn to today as the right infrastructure for the future. We at Smart Build are poised to go into the future, ready to take on the challenges of modern construction with Light Gauge Steel.
As the framework for houses, it can be combined with any siding requested for by the customer. Using pre-fabricated roof and wall elements, construction can be done quite quickly. This makes Light Gauge Steel the perfect material for carrying out quick extensions. Its wide scope of application means it is used in different forms for varied purposes. Being recycle friendly is an added plus in times when resources are becoming increasingly scarce.
Pre-fabricated load bearing elements are great value for money as they quicken the pace of construction while being amply sturdy. For the same amount of load bearing capacity, you require compacter elements of steel, making more building space available. Another big factor in its favour is its durability. It is not just resistant to weather elements, lightening and corrosion, but also to earthquakes due to its flexibility and light weight. Being much lighter than concrete, the impact that it faces during an earthquake is much milder, about 5 times less. Making changes in LGS constructions is easy as old walls can be altered quickly while new ones are put in place.
Each element of light gauge steel material is crafted from cold forming of galvanised steel. The first step in moving ahead in a LGS project is designing after which the steel frame is put together. Being mechanised, the chances for human error in creating the framework are negligible, making construction smooth. Transported to the site of construction, they are assembled not by unskilled labour but experts using special studs and the frames are filled in with insulation material making it fire resistant as well. The technology can be adapted to suit any type and style of building, traditional, modern, public, private or other.
With Smart Build, you can choose whether you wish to buy a house frame or a completed building at a fraction of the price of a conventional concrete home. The future of construction is here; become a part of it today!
