Project Overview – apartment building
Partners: beSteel, Lissens Projects
Location: Schaffen, Belgium
Client: Lissens Projects
-
Construction of a multi-unit apartment building in the village center of Schaffen
-
Conversion of an old bank building into several flats
-
Execution completed in just 15 days using beSteel’s lightweight steel framing
-
Designed to minimize the use of heavy structural materials without compromising strength

Steel frame benefits:
-
1
Precision and modularity: Ideal for multi-unit buildings with complex layouts.
-
2
Structural integrity: Ensures high load-bearing capacity with reduced material usage.
-
3
Precision engineering: Guarantees accuracy in component fitting, optimizing construction speed and quality.
Technical Highlights
The Schaffen project involved the addition of steel frame structures to an existing building, transforming it into a multi-unit apartment complex. beSteel’s lightweight steel framing system was employed to optimize material efficiency and ensure rapid execution. The design significantly reduced the use of hot-rolled steel (HRS), with no HRS required in individual housing units. Integrated steel staircases were utilized, eliminating the need for additional heavy structural elements. The entire construction was completed in just 15 days, demonstrating the speed and efficiency of beSteel’s offsite construction approach.
Steel frame: smarter residential construction
This project was designed to maximize efficiency and minimize the use of heavy structural materials without compromising strength.
- Efficient assembly: The entire structure was completed in just 15 days.
- Integrated steel staircases: Eliminated the need for additional heavy structural elements.
- Reduced use of hot-rolled steel (HRS):
- – Strong reduction in HRS usage throughout the project.
- – No HRS required in individual housing units.
- Compatibility with existing structures: Designed to be built against an adjacent structure while maintaining stability and insulation efficiency.
