There are several reasons why steel makes an attractive building material. First, steel is a versatile building material that has led to its inclusion in every stage of the construction process, from framing, roofing materials and floor joists. Here are the main benefits why hiring a Steel Structure Building Company is such a reliable choice.
Fast, efficient, resourceful
Steel can be assembled easily and efficiently in all seasons. The components are pre-manufactured off-site with minimal on-site labour. A whole frame can be erected in a few days rather than weeks, with a corresponding 20 to 40 percent reduction in construction time relative to on-site construction, depending on the project’s scale. In addition, structural steel is lighter weight relative to other framing materials like concrete enables a smaller, simpler foundation. For single dwellings on challenging sites, steel often allows less contact points with the earth, reducing the amount of excavation required.
Less columns, more open space
Steel sections provide a cost-effective and elegant method of spanning long distances. Steel-built buildings are often adaptable, with greater potential for alterations over time, extending the structure’s lifetime. Extended steel spans can create large, open-plan, column-free internal spaces. Many clients now demand column grid spacing over 15 metres. In single-storey buildings, rolled beams provide clear spans of over 50 metres. Lattice or Trussed construction can extend this to 150 metres. If you minimize the number of columns makes it easier to subdivide and customize spaces.
Adaptable and accessible
Nowadays, a building’s function can change dramatically and rapidly. A tenant may want some changes that increase floor loads. Walls may need to reposition to create a new interior layout based on different needs and space usage. Steel framing and floor systems allow easy access and alterations to existing electrical wiring, computer networking cables and communication systems. Steel-built structures can cater to such changes. You can cover plates added to the beams for increased strength. The beams and girders are easily reinforced and supplemented with additional framing or relocated to support changed loads.
Beauty, strength, design freedom
Steel offers architects design freedom in colour, shape and texture. Its combination of durability, strength, beauty, precision and malleability gives architects broader parameters to explore ideas and develop fresh solutions. Steel’s long-spanning ability gives rise to large open spaces, free of intermediate columns or load-bearing walls. It can bend to a certain radius, creating segmented curves or free-form combinations for facades, domes, or arches that set it apart. Factory-finished to the exacting specifications under highly controlled conditions, steel’s outcome is more predictable and repeatable, eliminating the risk of on-site variability.
Resistant to Fire
There has been extensive experimental research and testing done to gauge how steel buildings respond to fire incidents. The results have been mostly positive. In addition, fire protection is enhanced by implementing new techniques and designs in steel buildings. Therefore, this material is the best bet for homes in fire-prone areas.
