The beSteel offsite construction

In the fast-evolving world of construction, efficiency, sustainability, and creative freedom are key drivers of success. Offsite construction is a revolutionary approach that is transforming the industry by addressing these needs.

 

  • But what’s offsite construction?

Offsite construction, also known as prefabrication or modular construction, involves the planning, design, fabrication, and assembly of building components in a controlled factory environment before they are transported to the construction site for final installation.

This method offers numerous advantages over traditional construction, including reduced construction time, improved quality control, and minimized environmental impact.

Off-site construction changes up the construction process. In our controlled production space, we deliver a high-quality product time and time again.

 

  • Why light steel frames?

Using light steel frames in offsite construction provides additional benefits. Light steel frames are known for their strength, durability, and precision. They are lightweight yet incredibly strong, making them ideal for a variety of building types. Additionaly, steel frames are resistant to issues such as rot and mold ensuring the longevity and resilience of the structure.

 

  • Why choose beSteel?

The advantages of the offsite construction

I/ Speed and efficiency

By manufacturing components in a controlled environment, offsite construction reduces building times by up to 50%. This method minimizes delays caused by weather, labor shortages, and other on-site issues.

II/ Quality control:

Factory conditions ensure a higher level of quality control, with precise manufacturing and reduced material waste. Each component is produced to exact specifications, resulting in a more consistent and higher-quality final product.

III/ Sustainability:

The controlled environment of a factory setting allows for more efficient use of materials and reduces waste. The transportation and assembly processes also minimize the environmental impact.

IV/ Creative Freedom:

Architects and designers have the flexibility to create innovative and complex designs, knowing that steel frames provide the strength and adaptability needed to realize their visions.

Contributing to Global Sustainability Goals

Offsite construction with light steel frames is more than just a building technique; it’s a strategic approach to meeting global sustainability goals. By reducing waste, enhancing energy efficiency, and lowering emissions, this method supports several UN Sustainable Development Goals, including:

  • Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure – Promoting sustainable industrialization and fostering innovation.
  • Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities – Making cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
  • Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – Ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns.

At beSteel, we are proud to contribute to these global objectives through our commitment to sustainable offsite construction practices.
