3. Thinner

The profile of a light gauge
steel frame unit is 100mm

narrower than traditional
steel frame. This may not
seem like much, but when

multiplied up for each unit
used across the entire
structure a significant amount

of space can be saved,
increasing the useable square

footage within the building
and, therefore, increasing the
property’s saleable/lettable
value.

4. Adaptable

Delays can add a significant
cost to a project, so anything
that can keep them to a
minimum is a good thing.
Traditional timber frame
requires cranes which cannot
work when it’s windy, brick
and block construction will
slow when it’s raining, but as
long as health and safety
regulations are maintained,
there’s very little that will
delay progress on a light
gauge steel frame

construction.
