Steel frame:
a break from tradition

Steel frame construction is an innovative, revolutionary and relatively young construction method that is suitable for both small and large complex projects. Cold-rolled thin steel profiles form the basis of easy-to-assemble steel frames.

Off-site production and quality control
Dry construction method
Super fast construction process

Steel frame construction in 11 advantages

Super fast
- Production and assembly are done in house
- No delays thanks to controlled working conditions
- Fast and accurate assembly on-site
- Up to 60% faster construction time compared to traditional construction methods
Light construction
- Light steel frames
- 30% less load on the foundation compared to traditional construction methods
- Steel has the highest strength-to-weight ratio
- Very suitable for, for example, height increases and poor soil
Sustainable
- Completely in accordance with the cradle-to-cradle principle
- A steel frame is fully recyclable and reusable
- Minimum energy and waste during the production phase
Incredibly strong
- Does not lose strength, despite lightness
- Large structural spans possible
- Also perfectly suited for apartments and large industrial projects
Resistant to weather
- Resistant to termites
- Withstands extreme climates such as severe storms
- Very high seismic resistance
Reduced costs
- Savings in terms of foundations and structure
- Lower costs for site installation and management
- Reduction of management costs and fixed costs of a project
- Faster income generation thanks to faster commissioning of the building
Architectural freedom
- No concessions in terms of design, both inside and out
- Our designers and engineers match the frames perfectly to the architect’s design
- The strength of the steel provides great flexibility
- Suitable for both small and large complex projects
100% in accordance with requirements
- Steel produced according to the strictest standards
- The design of our cold-rolled steel profiles is determined by the Eurocodes 3
- Steel frame buildings perfectly meet the European fire resistance requirements (REI 12O)
- This is also true for the thermal (EPB-proof) and acoustic (WTCB-tested) insulation requirements
Clean construction site
- Off-site production leads to a minimum of construction waste on-site
- Dry construction method guarantees a clean construction site
- No water consumption required on the construction site
Off-site design & production
- In-house assembly from steel profiles to steel frames
- Digitised and automated production process: precision down to the millimetre
- Controlled production conditions
- No unforeseen delays (due to rain or freezing cold, for example), which leads to significant time savings
- No drying times
Limited transportation requirements
- Lower transportation costs
- Very limited number of displacement teams
