1. Lighter

A lighter structure may mean
footings and foundations can be
shallower and less complicated,
saving on time and materials. And,
as light gauge steel can be lifted into

place by manpower alone, expensive
cranes are no longer needed.

Steel frame for an entire 5-storey
block of 14 apartments was
completed in 6 weeks by a team of 4
without the use of any lifting
equipment.

2. Quicker

The faster you are able to build, the
shorter the time you need to borrow
money to fund the construction –
which lowers the cost of interest
paid on the loan.

• Lighter building materials,

• Less construction time,

• Fewer opportunities for human
error,

• Less equipment required,

• Less on site waste,

All lead to a quicker build using light
gauge steel frame.
