Technical highlights
Originally conceived as a timber frame build, the project was re-engineered by beSteel into a prefabricated steel frame solution. Using the FastWall system, the steel frame was delivered and installed in just 12 days, a major reduction in construction time. The design adaptation required close collaboration with the project team to translate the timber-based architectural plans into steel while maintaining structural integrity. Not only did this transition accelerate the build, but it also reduced costs significantly, demonstrating the efficiency and flexibility of light steel frame construction for residential housing.
Smart choice for residential builds
Steel frame construction delivers more than just speed.
- Time savings: Prefabricated elements enable fast and clean on-site assembly
- Lower costs: Efficient design and faster timelines reduce material and labor expenses
- Higher longevity: Steel provides resistance to moisture, insects, and warping over time
