|
|
- Cost Effective and Quick to Build
With FRAMECAD’s accurate steel frame components, construction is quick and simple allowing low-cost, low-skilled labour to be used with high quality results.
- Strong and Design-Flexible
Steel offers architectural and design flexibility due to its inherent strength. This allows large span distances and curves to be easily incorporated into designs.
- Durable and Safe
Steel frames won’t ignite, burn, rust or get eaten by pests therefore making them highly desirable in extreme environmental conditions. Steel also doesn’t need to be treated with pesticides, preservatives or glues making it safer for handling and living or working around.
- Steel Frame Production and Construction
Steel framed buildings, manufactured using FRAMECAD’s 5-Star Steel Frame System, can be produced very quickly and constructed using modular, prefab, build-on-site or transportable methods enabling construction flexibility for lower overheads, quicker manufacturing and improved profitability.
- Environmentally Friendly
Steel delivers a number of unique environmental benefits such as product longevity, recyclability, easy transportation and less raw material wastage.
- Fire Resistant
Severe bush fire test at over 1000 deg C endorses steel framed housing.
- Earthquake Tested
Structural integrity of steel framed houses tested in full-scale simulations resulting in positive outcome
