Advantages of Steel Frame Construction
There are a lot of advantages of steel frame installation such as:
Durability
Compared to their load-bearing alternatives, structural steel components are stronger and able to withstand high winds, seismic occurrences, and other inclement weather compared to standard wooden construction.
Cost Effective
Some customers believe a steel frame will be more expensive than other materials, but you can install steel framing at a reasonable price and get your structure built faster (saving labor costs) as well as save money over the long haul with lower maintenance costs.
Fire Resistance
Fire damage can occur at any structure, but a building with a steel frame will be more likely to contain and minimize the damage. Many owners also have lower insurance rates with steel construction.
Energy Efficient
Owners love that steel is not affected by changes in humidity or temperature, which results in lower and more consistent electric bills.
Insect Resistant
Regular wood construction can come under attack from termites, wood ants, and other pests. Steel cannot be damages by these so it can save you from insect damage.
Less Time for Construction
Since we provide prefabricated materials, the assembly is faster so you can cut down the construction time significantly.
