Introduction

BA HU light steel frame construction systems provide theflexibility to build better buildings with engineeredprecision...

Steel is resistant.

Steel represents incomparable resistance not only to earthquake, but alsomoisture, fire, corrosion, storm, termites and similar pests. With a highly effectivegalvanization process, light gauge steel profiles resist even the most humidregions for many decades.

Steel is durable...

Steel displays the strongest resistance to earthquake. The strength of steel isunquestionable, 21 times more flexible than timber and 10 times more thanreinforced concrete (concrete + steel reinforcing). Ideal in poor ground areas,lightweight with a low ratio of specific weight to carried load..

Steel is practical.

Light gauge steel frame construction is a rapid construction system. The maincarrier system is established in residential type constructions within one weekregardless of weather conditions. Turnkey construction can be as short as 2months.

A specific construction season does not exist. Reinforced concrete is notrequired, except for base. Buildings are factory pre-produced for rapid deliverymeaning short lead times, minimum time on site, rapid and practical assemblywithout highly skilled labour or specialist equipment.

Steel is reliable.

Light gauge steel frame construction system is reliable.

The construction period is short and does not depend on season and climate. Cost of delivery is lower due to less and controllable deliveries. Unnecessary cost of labor and site equipment supply is eliminated. Early delivery of the building provides sales and rent revenue advantage.

Value of the building is high due to minimal maintenance need, unlimited

solutions for restoration and modifications and low cost and simplicity of overallrepairs and modifications.

Steel is economical

Light gauge steel frame construction systems are more economical in comparisonwith conventional construction systems.

No concrete beams or columns are needed within light steel constructionssaving space within the building. Cost of the slab base decreases due to less overall building weight in steel

constructions. Load bearing structure is long-lasting providing a reliable life for generations. Resistant to natural disasters such as earthquake, storm and flood means rapidand low cost repairs to damages caused by natural disasters. Low rate of material waste. Insulation and energy usage of complete projects are designed in compliancewith regional and seasonal data; therefore, initial expenditures made for thebuilding amortize itself.

Steel is ecological.

As steel is made of recyclable material the consumption of natural resources isminimised. Dismounting and portability of the material contributes to ecology ofthe construction. Steel is not harmful, is free from toxicological and allergic effect.The entire building is recyclable.

Steel is attractive.

Light gauge steel frame construction system provides designers the freedom toprovide attractive and functional buildings in any classical or modern architecturalproject. .

Steel is not new in the construction industry
