As the government continues to set ambitious goals for the construction industry, there is a growing demand to construct faster, more sustainably and at a lower cost. But how can this be achieved?\u00a0Light steel frame (LSF) has been revolutionising the construction industry for years, however recent technological advances in Building Information Modelling, and lean manufacturing means that LSF now offers an unparalleled freedom to construct faster and more accurately.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The combination of strength, durability and precision engineering ensure light steel frame offers broad parameters to explore innovative solutions and optimise value engineering.<\/p>\n
There are many ways in which light steel frame is perfectly positioned to meet the objectives.<\/p>\n
Target 1: Faster Delivery Offsite construction projects can be delivered in up to half the time compared to traditional construction, delivering radically reduced build times, leading to less time onsite and ultimately, a faster return on investment.<\/p>\n Target 2: Lower Emissions<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Time is a critical factor in construction – as every project manager well knows. That is one of the reasons why light steel frame has become the preferred construction method for forward-thinking property designers and builders.<\/p>\n
\nA major benefit is a minimised impact on the environment, with national targets for housebuilding, carbon emission reductions and the push for \u2018zero carbon’ buildings – light gauge steel is perfectly positioned to play a crucial role in meeting and delivering these targets. Steel is notorious for its longevity and ability to be multicycled – providing no onsite waste and thus enabling for a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n
